Schedule of Events
Saturday, February 6th
9am-12pm FUNdamentals Great for the rider just starting out or someone who has never taken a skills lesson. This clinic covers the basics to help you become a more confident and capable rider. We’ll focus on body positioning for downhill, braking techniques, efficient climbing, basic cornering skills, and lots of tips for specific obstacles on trails at Santos.
9am-12pm Intro to Table-Top Jumps and Drops Want to get started with jumps and drops with intentional skill and confident control? This clinic dives into the critical skills needed to jump and drop well. Focus on the small step-wise acquisition of ability in low consequence terrain before using the skills in the air.
1pm-4pm Women’s Technical Trail Applications Want to get better at those annoying tech features that always seem to throw you off-balance? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to look at these features and have an intentional plan to execute? What if your balance was rock solid, able to handle any obstacle trying to throw you off?
1pm-4pm Cornering Do you get hung up, lose speed, or lose control in corners, including berms, flat turns, and even off-camber corners? Maybe you’d like to figure out how to carry more exit speed? This clinic takes a deep dive into the skills needed to corner with more control, confidence, and speed.

How are we different than other skills clinics? We aim to provide the highest quality and most professional skills instruction possible.
We keep our group sizes small with a max of 6 in each group. Rather than run a group of 12 with 2 instructors, we'll split into 2 smaller groups when numbers for a clinic exceed 5 or 6.
You can expect dedicated and professional instruction from industry leaders. Check out our testimonials
