Adobe session 2

 Adobe clinic number 2 and we had some excellent cornering going on! These women worked on bike/body separation through the berms and rollers in the pumptrack. Every lap they got faster and every lap their smiles got bigger! No better way to spend a summer night!

Intermediate to Advanced flying

We have (serious) lift off! To say this group was flying is an understatement! Everyone was over the age of 35 and somewhat new to wheels off the ground. They took it to the next level with skill and style. It’s incredible what can happen when students show up ready to learn and have the fitness to support it. There are no limits!

One of the highlights of the weekend was when @vsolomon36 decided it was time to ride this feature! Virginia had been looking at this drop for a while, wondering what it would take. After a full day of developing manuals and dropping technique, it was time. We were all stoked to watch a student push their limits with success!

Beginner 2.0

New Program: Wednesday night we began our new program - Beginner 2.0 designed to take the fundamentals of riding and expand roses comfort zones with more challenging riding environments. By the end of class everyone was moving more dynamically on their bike and we are ready to push these skills in our second session next week. Coaches are @coachklane and Shelly Wedge.

Private session with Linda

Linda took our cornering clinic a few weeks ago and was ready to take it to the big berms! She wanted some specific feedback so she could start riding them with more speed and confidence. We accomplished that today, especially with the video feedback. She is dedicated to improving her skills even after riding for so many years, what an inspiration!

Cody is flying!

We have another woman with her wheels off the ground! Cody came to a beginner clinic last summer and has been practicing her skills ever since. She was ready to take it to the next level, wanting to learn the manual, the wheelie and get some air! We did that all today in a 4 hour private session! 

Repeat Client taking it to the next level!

Gretchen came to a clinic earlier this year and was ready to take her skills to a trail near her home that sometimes challenges her. 
She wanted to carry her speed throughout the trail from top to bottom. 
We worked on most of the corners and different rock sections one by one then we rode the whole trail at once so she could feel how this trail can flow. The last time down she said it was her fastest yet!
