Welcome to Trail Skill Foundations 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.
