Bike check, tire pressure and suspension setup. If the bike isn’t set up well, it doesn’t feel good and it isn’t very fun to ride! We’re going to start the first session in the series with a bike and suspension setup mini clinic.
Suspension Setup:
Suspension setup is often overlooked, but it's critical for performance, comfort, and safety. We’ll spend some time in this clinic dialing in your suspension settings, so your bike feels more responsive and stable.
FUNdamental skills: In this clinic, we’ll cover several foundational skills that build the confidence to ride well.
Body Position: Proper body position is crucial for balance, control, and safe maneuvers like jumping, dropping, descending, and cornering. We'll focus on maintaining a stable and balanced stance to help you feel more confident on the bike.
Braking: We’ll focus on braking technique, from modulating the brakes to avoiding skidding. Proper braking will help you stop quickly and smoothly, helping you ride faster with control.
Shifting: The smoother your shifting, the less you’ll have to think about gears, allowing you to focus on the trail. We’ll give you a quick lesson in shifting so you’re always in the right gear at the right time.
Cornering: Applying good body position and braking techniques will help you ride corners with greater confidence and control.
