Dynamic Cycling Adventures runs a one‑day intermediate/advanced mountain‑bike clinic in Hingham that moves riders through a methodical progression — from front and rear wheel lifts and compression work to clearing gap jumps and negotiating rock gardens — then applies those skills on the trail before a final regroup at the parking lot.

Outing Highlights

THE SKILLS

Pressure control, timing and jump progression

Morning instruction concentrates on compressing and absorbing terrain forces, proper timing and coordination, front/rear/level wheel lifts, and a stepwise jump and drop progression culminating in clearing gap jumps up to 6 feet and going off drops up to 4 feet.

THE TRAILS

Take skills to the singletrack

In the afternoon the clinic shifts from drills to riding: participants apply compression and lifting techniques on trail features — bump jumps, rock rollers, rock gardens, skinnies and other technical features — with guided on‑trail sessioning.

THE COMMUNITY

Coaching, camaraderie and a post‑ride regroup

Coaches and riders meet the evening before for a local meet‑and‑greet; the day ends back at the parking lot for a post‑ride beverage and a chance to debrief with fellow riders and instructors.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

The clinic is deliberate and progressive: an instructional morning spent on technique and a measured jump/drop ladder gives way to a playful afternoon of sessioning on whatever features the trail network provides, then a relaxed regroup to close the loop.
