Clinic Details
Ready to take your jumping to the next level? This one-day women's mountain bike clinic is designed for riders who already have basic jump experience and want to build more confidence, control, and style in the air. In a supportive, no-pressure environment, you'll work on refining technique, improving consistency, and progressing safely across a variety of trail features — all with dedicated coaching and a low rider-to-coach ratio.
This clinic is best suited for women riders who are comfortable on intermediate to advanced terrain (green/blue/black) and want to refine technique rather than learn jumping from scratch. This is not a beginner clinic.
What to Expect
This is a progression-based clinic — coaches meet you at your current level and help you advance at your own pace. We’ll split into groups based on rider level, so whether you’re new to jumping or looking to refine your technique, you’ll get personalized instruction. Throughout the day, you'll work on:
- Dialing in body position for takeoff, airtime, and landing
- Generating pop and using terrain effectively
- Controlling speed and choosing the right approach
- Jumping with more confidence and less hesitation
- Smoothing out style and flow on trail features
- Wheel lifts and advanced skills
You'll receive individualized coaching, dedicated session time on features, and repeat runs to build consistency and comfort. The clinic maintains a maximum ratio of 7 riders to 2 coaches to keep the experience personal and high-quality.
