The Sprockids preseason skills clinic focuses on the entirety of bike fundamentals including: bike safety and a helmet check, about bike components and equipment, the three “mountain bike essentials”, what neutral and ready position are and how and when to use them, proper bike-body positioning and separation, shifting gears including shifting into an uphill (think of Air Force hill), how and when to brake effectively, what steering and cornering are and the situations where using which is appropriate, berm cornering, how to safely get on and off the bike while on a hill, ratcheting and how to ride switchbacks, wheel lifts, pumping for speed and more!

EVENT DATES: November 4th and 5th, 10AM – 12PM

Please come ready with a geared mountain bike that is recently serviced and functional. Don’t forget to double check the chain, brakes and tire air pressure. Wear a properly fitted helmet (snug is important), closed toe sneakers and athletic clothing that is safe to ride in and weather appropriate. Well fed and hydrated riders tend to have the most fun! Please bring a bike mounted water bottle or hydration pack and a light snack.

Please review our waivers upon checkout and let us know if you have any questions.
