Clinic format
Lets get setup
We will work on dialing in your mountain bike cockpits. This will include determining optimal tire pressures for various scenarios, setting your ideal brake level angle, spacing and hand grip positioning. We will also work through demonstrations of tire traction, its impact on cornering and you’ll learn how far you truly can lean your bike.
Bike-body separation techniques
We will work through cornering cone drills to refine your bike-body separation technique and review the 3 fundamentals (braking, stance, reading the trail). You will learn unique braking technics, the important of brake modulation and how body positioning impacts braking power. We will refine your ready and neutral positions so that they feel as natural as possible on the trail.
Find unique trail lines
We will work through trail line selection, riding unique lines that might not always be obvious and practice holding a line around a swooping descending corner. We will focus on consistent and confident turning with an emphasis on entering each corner with the exit in mind.
Utilizing the whole trail
We will work on utilizing the whole trail to maximize speed when cornering. This corner will have added obstacles to challenge your newfound skills. We will work on the aggressive ready position, learn the value of staying low and its impact on your speed, improve flow through the corner, and review important safety tips.
Increasing the speed
We will work through applying the more aggressive ready position to accommodate a corner with an increased descending angle. You will learn how to manage naturally increasing speed though a blind, off-camber corner. Together we’ll identifying the most creative, in-boundary line through the corner for increasing stability.
Wrap up & review
As we wrap up, we will work through training techniques you can use at home for refining your new skills. Group photos are common. Gather your free swag and head towards the nearest watering hole.
