I just started MTB coaching in Bentonville, Arkansas!

I met a rider at the new OZ DH Park. We were both excited about it opening up this month. He told me he feels he's a fairly confident rider but doesn't know how to do wheel lifts, drops or jumps. I told him I'd teach him in 1 afternoon if he wants. He took me up on it. He went from never lifting a wheel to doing wheel lifts, bunny hops, drops and even doing his first jumps with good control.

Even if air isn't your thing it's a good idea to learn wheel lifts and drops for normal trail riding. And learning how to get air safely and im control is valuable incase you ever find yourself accidentally in the air. And who knows...you might end up loving jumping more than you ever thought you would.

Here's clips from Jared's "Intro to Air" lesson. Are you interested in learning these skills to? Hit me up! I'd love to help you level up!

Wanna learn to ride tech smoother, send drops with courage, or learn to jump with more control?

Limited dates and limited spots. Sign up now for January 10th/11th or January 24th/25th MTB clinics.

4 Clinics:

MTB Fundamentals - This class is taught in a field with props to get riders dialed in for handing techy trails and more advanced riding capabilities. Did you know you have a dominant foot just like in skateboarding or snowboarding? You'll find out which is yours in this clinic and it will help you tackle all the features out there!

Fundamentals Trail Application - We will take everything learned in the Fundamentals class and head into the trails to practice better standing, cornering, climbing and conquering new techy features.

Drop Class - it's time to get your wheels off the ground! Learn how to preload, lift front/back and both wheels, and conquer the 3 wooden drops with control.

Jump Clinic - Want to learn how to get more air and land jumps with control? This class teaches you how to pump rollers, preload, get better arc and control your landings with adjustable ramps. Students will be taught in small gradual increments from rolling a small jump all the way to clearing their first gap jump.

Don't miss out! These classes are only in FL for a limited time and have limited space!
