This program is for all types of riders, those who are new to mountain biking or are experienced riders looking to kick bad habits. Our instructors will take you back to the basics with a progressive approach to teaching bike/body position, operation of controls, and navigating the trail. Our goal is to have you dancing down the trail and having more fun on your bike!
Skills to be taught include:
Ready Position, Bike/Body Movements, Braking/Shifting, Climbing/Descending, Reading The Trail, Wheel Lifts, and Introduction to Cornering.
Requirements:
Everyone needs to have their own safe and working mountain bike. If you are not sure about your bike's condition, we highly recommend having a local bike shop do an inspection. No road bikes, hybrids, or cruisers. There are no e-bikes allowed at Cowles Park.
All participants must have a properly fitting bike helmet!
