Outing Highlights

THE PROGRESSION

Jump and Drop Progressions

Sunday morning centers on a step‑by‑step jump and drop progression: front, rear and level wheel lifts, and techniques to clear gaps up to 6 feet and ride off drops up to 4 feet, plus work on compressing and timing to manage terrain pressures.

THE TRAILS

Afternoon Sessioning — Get Poppy and Playful

In the afternoon the clinic moves onto trails to apply learned skills: sessioning bump jumps and features such as rock rollers, rock gardens, skinnies and trail jumps to develop a more playful, controlled style.

THE COMMUNITY

Meet, Ride, Wrap Up

Coaches host a meet-and-greet the evening before the clinic at a local venue, and the day concludes back at the parking area for a group wrap‑up and a post‑ride beverage with fellow participants.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

The clinic unfolds as a tightly focused progression: an evening meet‑and‑greet followed by a Sunday morning of focused technique drills — compressing terrain, wheel lifts and jump/drop progressions — then an afternoon of playful on‑trail sessions to put those skills into real features before returning to the lot for a debrief and drink.
