Welcome to Air 101!

This is the best place to start for all levels of air skills! This course helps you understand the mechanics of jumps, common mistakes, and how to jump cleanly with a smooth arc and landing. It also reinforces drop technique that is sustainable for all types of drops. Even advanced jumpers will benefit from this class, as we help you fine-tune your techniques to unlock more advanced skills and improve consistency.

Air 101 covers:

  • Jumping

  • Dropping

Who: Riders 16+

Prerequisites: None

Skill Level: All Levels – all jumps are tabletops (no gap jumps)

Duration: 1 day x 2.5 hours

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:

  • This is a great course to repeat! Clean and consistent air skills take time, and we can’t emphasize foundational skills enough

  • Air 201 – when you’re ready for gap jumps

  • 2-Day Intermediate Air – this will refresh the skills you learned in Air 101, and then move into Air 201 curriculum including gap jumps
