Tech Trail Applications

Tackle Tech with Intention and Confidence

This is an all-gender clinic, there's a women's only version at a different time slot if you prefer that learning environment. 

Want to get better at those annoying tech features that always seem to throw you off-balance? Maybe it's getting over some obstacle, especially when each wheel is rolling over different obstacles at the same time. Maybe it's combined with some sort of change of direction like a tight turn. Sometimes these features are when you are going uphill, some are downhill. 

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? 

If so, this clinic is for you! We'll dive into all the subtle ways to move and encourage the bike over tech obstacles while remaining centered and in balance. We'll practice different moves individually in low consequence terrain before heading out on the trail to apply them. 

Who should take this clinic:

• This clinic is for all genders, we have a women's only version at a different time slot if you prefer that learning environment. 

• This clinic is appropriate for all level riders wanting to get better at tech features and ride them with more intention, control, and confidence.

• Riders who are just getting started with these skills will learn proper technique to get started, get PLENTY of repeatable practice in low consequence terrain. 

• Intermediate level riders will benefit from going back to basics, refining the essential fundamentals for balance and control. 

Who are the instructors?

• Misty Mahoy - All About Balance head coach

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, Range of Movement, and using pressure control to unweight and lift wheels. 

• After some practice in an open area with props, we'll venture out on the trails to find examples to apply techniques on. 

• We'll aim to give lots of individual rider feedback and video analysis!
