Intermediate Jumping Clinic
Progress your jumping skills
Are you feeling pretty comfortable on the Blue rated Jump trails with table-top shape jumps and want to learn more mid air style? Are your straight air skills looking pretty good and wonder what's next to keep progressing?
Maybe you are already hitting the jump lines but are having inconsistent outcomes. Sometimes it goes fine, but other times it feels weird and out of control.
This clinic is a great intro how to progress through some basic mid-air tricks like whips and tables. Even if you don't want to do tricks, this clinic will help you dial in your intentioanl skill applicaton depending on the size and shape of the ramp when approaching at different speeds. During the clinic, we'll focus on some of the fundamental elements of making the bike move in the air and lead you through a series of drills to build confidence and control.
