Ladies & Gents join Coach Wes for a super fun and encouraging skills session on how to safely ride technical rocky descents with roll down drops and ledges. Learn to ride corners with more confidence and control. This skills session is PROGRESSION BASED meaning we start small and progress to bigger features to give everyone the opportunity to progress at their own pace.
This skills session is open to all levels of riders. From newcomers to more experienced riders open to learning, girls and guys, who want to learn the core skills required to ride with more balance, stability and control, out on one of your typical local New England MTB trails. The session covers the theory and techniques required to maintain traction and direction through flat turns and berms at different speeds – from slower to faster. We also cover setup and approach, body position dynamics, and how to maintain balance and control through upcoming technical features, whether it be for climbing or descending. This includes descending rock gardens and slabs, steep descending rock rolls or “Rollah’s”, and small to medium sized “air drops”. All the skills and features will be progression based which will give everyone the opportunity to learn and challenge themselves. The session will be educational and covers several levels of skills applications, from easy to more difficult. This is a great opportunity to apply your skills in a controlled environment and then take them to the trails in an encouraging and no pressure progression session.
SKILLS LEARNED:
- Body Positioning for descending trails and technical rocky sections
- Traction Control and Holding a Line
- Line Choice, Proper Braking & Mindset for controlling the bike through technical terrain
- Rolling down small drops and ledges (keeping your wheels on the ground)
- Intro to wheel lifts and getting your wheels in the air
- Air drops and how to land safely
- Foundational skills for flat and bermed corners at various speeds from slower to faster.
WHAT TO EXPECT: We will start with a ground session in the ‘grass-room’ to dial in the fundamentals and then hit the trails to apply the skills learned. We will stop at features, guide you through them and you will have the opportunity to practice, learn and have fun! All features are progressive, you go at your pace and where you feel comfortable. There is no pressure but loads of encouragement!
