Women’s Group Clinic at Chestnut Mountain Nature Park (Berm Park)

Fundamentals to learn before Jumping: Clinic for beginner-intermediate riders to dial in fundamental skills that will make ALL riding more fun, but specifically are important when you want to learn to JUMP.

Focus on these skills FIRST so that you’re ready for a jumping lesson. We will be working on body position & stability, moving the bike under you smoothly, and pressure control. *Note: We will not be jumping in this clinic, just polishing the skills to have a solid foundation for learning to jump.
