Mountain Bike Clinics and Instruction

We focus on having FUN on your bike. You'll learn skills that will make you not only a faster rider, but a safer rider who has more fun on the trails than ever before. If you've ever watched another rider and thought "man, they flow like one with the trail, how do I do that?" these classes will help you.

For all clinics, we strongly recommend you use flat pedals and leave the clipless pedals off.

Introduction to Slickrock: Clinic On the World-Famous Slickrock Bike Trail - $100

Riding Slickrock is so much fun! However, the terrain, traction, risks, and skills required are completely different from  those required to ride a traditional singletrack dirt trail. This clinic will teach you not only how to navigate slickrock safely, but how to have fun and turn this amazing terrain into your personal playground.

​This clinic will take place on the practice loop portion of the slickrock bike trail. This is an intermediate/advanced trail that will push you in more ways than one. This clinic is not suitable for first-time bikers. This clinic will help you have the skills and confidence to safely ride the Slickrock bike trail, and to learn how to turn obstacles into a giant playground.

By the end of this 2 hour clinic, you will be able to:

• adjust your current riding skills to suit this unique terrain
• demonstrate proper body position to stay safe on slickrock
• read and analyze the trail ahead to decide the best line/approach for a given obstacle
• climb steep slickrock fins
• descend steep slickrock fins
• brake safely on slickrock
• corner on slickrock

One on One Instruction

Experience has shown us that group lessons are actually more beneficial to you as a rider, but if you'd prefer one-on-one instruction, we offer that too. Contact us to discuss what you'd like to work on as well as rates.
