Youth Clinic #2 - Braking

  • Sun Ray Park 4059 East Ray Road Phoenix, AZ, 85044 United States (map)

Topic #1 - Focus here is on body position under heavy braking. Heavy braking will take place at the bottom of grass hill. Are you seated or standing? Are your elbows wide and bent? Are their heels down on the pedals or toes over the front?

Topic #2 - The importance of braking early and then letting the bike gain traction through the turn. This is a trust drill. You will learn to trust the tires under both braking and cornering here. Are you braking too late and losing speed?

This is the second clinic in a series of four weekly clinics with a focus on progressive skill development to increase both confidence and speed! If you missed the first or will miss the next there are no worries. The skill you learn here are guaranteed to make you a more confident and faster rider.

Space is limited to 20. All riders of all skill levels, ages 8 - 18 are welcome. We will be working in a park setting (on grass) and will not venture on to local trails. Helmet required.
