Event Description

Every MTB trail has corners! This clinic will have you flowing through turns by expanding on the 102 A Solid Base clinic material with a focus specifically on cornering.

Have you ever thought about how you turn? Steering, leaning your body, leaning your bike, rotation…and deciding how much of each to apply? Corners are one of the most advanced trail features to tackle well, but also the most satisfying to perfect.

Each corner is different, and each requires every riding skill to work together if you want to ninsbe able to carry any speed through it. Add in the limited traction on our gravel trails, and often berms that do not inspire confidence, and we really have it tough. In this clinic we will progress through individual concepts, simplifying the complexities of tackling a corner into small pieces that we can; aiming to have you confident on all types of corner and ready to rail all of them.

Standard information:

• You MUST have attended the A Solid Base clinic before taking part in this clinic. 1xx courses do not have a prerequisite. All others can only be attended after completing '102 A Solid Base'.

• You MUST be present from the start of the clinic. If you miss our safety talk we are not able to have you join the group. This is for everyone's well-being, and is a requirement enforced on us that we can’t make exceptions for. We suggest arriving at least 15 minutes early to ensure you and your bike are prepared and ready to go on time.

• You will need to provide your own bike. 

• This course is targeted at adults, but we allow children to come along if they are accompanied by a ticket-holding parent and find this works well. Our 12-15 year olds version of this clinic does however cover the same content.

• Requires 3 attendees for the event to run, or the event will be rescheduled.
