Ride Krew Jumping Fundamentals Clinic
Join us for the Ride Krew Jumping Fundamentals Clinic, where riders will learn to safely and confidently get airborne! Set in a park environment, this clinic offers a progressive approach to jumping with drills, games, and fun activities to master the basics of jumping on two wheels.

What We’ll Cover:

Safety Basics: Reviewing bike safety, including the ABC (Air, Brakes, Chain) check, and ensuring proper helmet fit.
Core Skills Refresher: Reinforcing the three mountain biking essentials, neutral and ready positions, and body positioning.

Participants should have a solid understanding of these foundational skills, as they will build upon them in this clinic.

Your Rider Will Learn:

Control Techniques: Using foot and body wedges for bike control.
Wheel Lifts: Mastering front and rear wheel lifts for jump approach.
Pressure Control: Learning how to control pressure and stomp into the lip of a jump.
Airborne Mechanics: Practicing proper body mechanics in the air and learning safe landing techniques.

Who Can Join?
This clinic is designed for intermediate to advanced riders aged 8+ with confident bike handling skills. Previous completion of a RideKrew Fundamentals I & II clinic or our After School Program is recommended. If your rider is new to RideKrew and you’re unsure if this clinic is a fit, please contact us to discuss.
