Learn the proper way to handle your bike in order to have the most possible fun on the trail. Improve your riding by improving your:

• Body Position: Being in the right place on your bike at the right time makes all the difference. Learn to let you bike do the work for you with correct body position.

• Descending: Learn to use the power of the hill to create control.
• Dropping Skills: Tired of getting off your bike for drops on the trail? Learn how to take drops consistently with proper form.
