Ready to fly? Few things are as exhilarating as catching some air on a mountain bike! Jumps and drops add a level of fun and thrill to our riding, but taking the time to learn proper technique allows riders to progress safely and builds a foundation of skills to practice that leads to mastery over time. Our 2-day Jumps and Drops Clinic takes complex skills and breaks them down into a clear sequence leading to bigger air and more aggressive features. Building confidence on flat ground, working up to ramps, and culminating on clearing 4-5' jumps (1-2' of air), riders will develop a set of skills they can practice, build upon, and eventually use to progress to larger, more challenging features. Riders can be brand new to jumping or already have some skills, but all riders should possess intermediate to advanced riding ability that includes good balance and experience riding dirt mountain bike trails. This camp is open to all grade-school kids, 6th- 12th grade. Let our coaches help take your riding to the next level! What to Bring: A positive attitude! A helmet and a functioning mountain bike (not a city/hybrid or fat tire bike). Don’t have one? Borrow from our Bike Library! (Contact emily@velo-kids.org if a bike or helmet is needed.) A backpack to carry your own water and snack. The ability to comfortably ride single-track, dirt mountain bike trails.
