Group Clinics Overview

Small group (3-6 people) in typically 3 hour sessions, our group clinics offer a fantastic bang-for-buck way to level up. All clinics are designed to be standalone, so you only need to make one time slot available in your schedule.

We offer 3 tiers of group clinic. These are not simply a beginner->expert sequence as different riders have different experience and desires. However, starting at the beginning and working your way up through the progression is recommended for most riders.

1xx: The critical skills and knowledge for “how to ride a mountain bike”.
2xx: Specific techniques for all riders to make riding more fun.
3xx: Adding skills progressions with timing & coordination; letting you own the trail.
xxxB: Refinement of the skills covered in the first part of the clinic.

The 1xx clinics have no pre-requisites.
The 2xx and 3xx clinics require the 102 clinic has been completed first.
The 3xx clinics may each have specific pre-requisites.
The xxxB clinics require that the matching primary clinic has been taken first (eg. 102 before 102B).

After you have completed a 3xx clinic it will still be beneficial for you to attend the 2xx clinics, as all skills can be learnt/improved at any time.
