CORNERING

Cornering in mountain biking can take a lifetime to master. In this 2-hour lesson, you will be given crucial fundamentals to help you on the quest to progress your cornering. The lesson will start with the body position and range of motion required for cornering excellence. Next we will layer on the skills to negotiate a variety of corners from flat to bermed. The course will consist of drills in a controlled environment and then practice on trail.

SWITCHBACKS

Steep and tight switchbacks are a nemesis for many mountain bikers. This two-hour course will teach you some simple, yet effective, strategies to tackle both uphill and downhill switchbacks. We will start with the foundational skill of proper body position, and then layer on skills in a controlled and forgivable practice environment. Finally, we take our switchback skills and practice on trail. This course will not cover the rear wheel pivot (aka nose/endo pivot), but it will provide the necessary precursors to this maneuver. Each participant will receive individualized feedback and tips to progress their switchback technique.
