Something special happens when a group of wome gets together in a spirit of shared shred.
Mountain biking is such a rad sport—and it’s about to get even radder.
Do you know how it feels to carve a turn on skis or snowboard? Learn how to do that on your bike.
Where are these classes held?
These sessions are held at Valmont Bike Park in Boulder, CO or another local bike park. Location is subject to change due to weather, crowds and trail conditions.
Lee Likes Bikes is a Valmont Bike Park Official Adventure Provider specializing in adult skills clinics. 30 percent of your clinic fee goes straight to the park. Same with classes in Broomfield.
Who are these classes for?
Everyone who wants to ride safer, more confidently and faster on a greater variety of terrain.
If you are a beginner, we’ll give you a solid foundation. Skip all the trial and error (and fear, and bad habits).
If you’re an intermediate rider, I’ll show you an even more effective—and way more fun—way to ride your bike. Go faster with less effort. Ride more safely. Shred new terrain. Every advanced thing you want to do is built on the core skills we teach.
You should be of driving age (We will make exceptions; email Lee). You should know how to ride a bike. Your bike should fit you and be in good working order. It should be a mountain bike. You will need to lower your seat. You will need a helmet and gloves. Additional padding is encouraged.
What will you learn?
We know you’re busy, so we’re going to deliver 2 hours of fun, applicable learning. We will focus on the most important safety/control skills:
• RideLogic kung fu riding philosophy, aka the Grand Unified Theory of Shred (GUTS).
• Balanced, effective riding position
• Safe, controlled braking
• Confident, quick cornering
• Smooth, safe terrain pumping
• Riding up and down obstacles
These core skills will help you ride everywhere, whether you're cruising on local singletrack or ripping downhill resorts. Once you get these fundamentals, it’s a series of simple steps to more advanced stuff like:
• Pumping bumps
• Pumping turns
• Dropping
• Jumping
• Flat-out ripping!
IMPORTANT: We do not skip steps, and we will not let you do something unless we know you’re ready.
We use our teaching method with riders of all styles and levels, from kids to retirees, cross country riders to downhillers, beginners to pros.
