Youth Clinic #4 - Putting it all Together

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

Skill #1: Cornering (descending AND climbing)
Skill #2: Braking (wide corner braking and timing)
Skill #3: Climbing (seated, standing, sustained, explosive)

We will cover all of the skills needed to successfully navigate an MBAA or NICA style cross country course with an emphasis on:
- exploding through corners with confidence
- how and when to break to ensure minimal loss of speed and efficiency
- climbing with confidence and proper technique to ensure you are the rabbit and not the chaser!

This is the final clinic in a series of 4 weekly clinics with a focus on progressive skill development to increase both confidence and speed! If you missed the first three this recap of skills will set you on a good path to success. You will have missed out on three weeks of skill development and practice but this finale will allow you to grasp the concepts covered and work toward putting it all together.

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.
