Women’s Group Clinic

$10 ladies day at Kanuga! Day passes for Kanuga are only $10

Roll-Downs and Intro to Jumping : Have you been eyeing the great jumps at Kanuga and wonder: How do you even start doing that? Rather than just launching down the trail and hoping for the best, wouldn’t be awesome if you had a plan and understanding of the elemental skills needed to jump in control?

How about the drops we encounter regularly in this region. Want to figure out how to tackle those with more confidence and control?

This roll-downs and intro to jumping clinic is designed to teach you the skills needed to evaluate the size and shape of any jump or drop and understand how to tweak your skill application based on your speed. “Press” and “Absorb” are the elemental skills. We’ll teach you how to do each one, when and how much to apply them. Let’s make YOU the driver in control of taking flight.

• Who should take this clinic?

  • This clinic is for women, woman-identifying, and non-binary individuals

  • This clinic is appropriate for all level riders wanting to learn to jump and drop with more intention, control, and confidence.

  • Riders who have never had their wheels off the ground will learn proper technique to get started, get PLENTY of repeatable practice on the portable jump line, AND be able to ride the Green Rated dirt jump lines at Kanuga.

  • Intermediate level jumpers will benefit from going back to basics, refining the essential fundamentals to jump with control.

• Who are the instructors?

  The Lead instructor for this clinic will be Whitney Houck, a certified Level 2 “AIR Instructor” through the GSMBC Read Whitney’s full profile

• What to expect

  • We’ll start with an intro to listen to your previous experience and goals, then set expectations and a plan for the clinic

  • Then, we’ll move into a skills assessment and move through the essential pre-requisite skills including Body Position / Balance and creating effective “Press and Absorb” technique.

  • We’ll spend a lot of time on the individual practice jump in the skills area, as well as the green jump line next to the shop. Depending on level of the group, we also may use Tortuga trail. As always, we need to dial back the challenge of the terrain to be able to actually practice new things!
