Welcome to Trail Skill Foundations 2-Day!
**Formerly Adult 2-Day**
This is an awesome way to get started with Fluidride and cover a wide range of foundational skills!
Trail Skill Foundations 2-Day is intended for newer riders (or those returning to the sport) that want to slow down and focus on building solid foundations. Geared toward beginner and intermediate riders, this course allows riders to break down riding techniques, weed out bad habits, and take their time practicing and solidifying new skills.
This course includes body position, various cornering skills, undulating terrain, air skills, and descending. Studying the foundations for multiple skills in the same weekend can be especially effective, since so many of the new skills will amplify the progression of other skills.
Riders should bring an extra layer of clothing, and enough food to last through several hours of riding and learning.
Trail Skill Foundations 2-Day Covers:
Proper body position, and important features of the bike
Cornering Skills & Drills
One-Footed Turns
Turning in Both Directions

Location: Duthie Hill Mountain Bike Park, Issaquah, WA.
Where to meet: The group will meet in the central clearing of Duthie Hill park, next to the large covered shelter. Plan on arriving early (we recommend 20-30 min) so you have time to park and pedal into the clearing.
What’s next?
After this course, we often recommend:
Advanced Cornering or Advanced Cornering 2-Day to learn additional cornering techniques to help you through any type of turn
Air 201 if you’re ready to tackle gap jumps, or fine-tune your air foundations with Air 101
