This intermediate/advanced mountain‑bike clinic in Billerica focuses on developing the rider’s ability to read and react to terrain—compressing and absorbing forces, timing wheel lifts, and progressing through jumps and drops—then applying those skills on local trail features during an afternoon session.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE SKILLS

Progressive jump and drop curriculum

Coaches lead a deliberate progression through front, rear and level wheel lifts, timing and coordination drills, and jump/drop technique—working riders up to clearing a 6‑foot gap jump and running off drops up to 4 feet.

THE TRAILS

Sessioning real features

After the morning progression you take those skills onto the trail network to session bump jumps, rock rollers, rock gardens, skinnies and other features—putting technique into motion on varied terrain.

THE COMMUNITY

Meet, ride, and regroup

The clinic begins with a pre‑ride meet and greet with Dynamic Cycling coaches and other participants, and concludes back at the parking lot with a post‑ride beverage and the camaraderie of new riding partners.
