Why a clinic?
MTB clinics focus on learning bike handling skills. The skills build on one another; a solid foundation of the basics is important. By learning the foundational skills one at time, a rider can feel comfortable and safe on unfamiliar, challenging terrain.
Are the coaches certified?
Yes. Coaches are PMBI (Professional Mountain Bike Instructor) certified and are certified in First Aid.
What if there is something I am not comfortable with riding?
Participation for everything is voluntary. Riders are NOT required to do anything that makes them uncomfortable or is above their skill level. If the coach feels the rider isn't experienced to be in the clinic he or she signed up for, the coach has the right for the safety of the rider to send them home.
LIABILITY WAIVER
All participants will be required to sign a release of liability waiver before the clinic begins.
