Riding a bike is an incredible, lifelong adventure, and we’re here to make sure everyone can experience the joy of it!
Our one-day clinic guides riders through a step-by-step process for confidently learning to ride. Using engaging activities that build and reinforce essential skills, we’ll have you rolling smoothly in no time! With a friendly, professional coaching team and a small coach-to-rider ratio, we create a supportive environment that helps riders overcome fears while developing important techniques. From learning balance and “wiggling” to confidently starting and stopping, riders will master handling obstacles and much more. Our fun, proven methods ensure everyone leaves with the confidence and excitement to ride!

The Sprockids San Diego Fundamentals I clinic teaches off-road skills and essential technique through drills, games, and fun activities.
Your rider will learn: bike safety and how to conduct an ABC bike check, importance of a properly fit helmet 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 and how to brake effectively. Skills are taught in a playful environment using our obstacles and playing games while on the bike!
This clinic is suitable for riders aged 7+ that are comfortable riding their bikes off-road.
Please come ready with a geared mountain bike that has a wheel size of 20″ or greater and 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.
Parents can participate in our clinics and learn alongside your child. The same skill, equipment and bike requirements stated above apply for parents and you must also book yourself a ticket.
