Beginner Skills Camp
Looking to boost your confidence on the bike and take your riding to the next level? The Bike Farm's experienced instructors will guide you through a variety of terrain while focusing on the development of fundamental mountain bike skills. Fundamental skills are something that every rider needs! Whether you're new to mountain biking, returning after time off, or have been riding for years but never had formal instruction, this clinic is right for you.
Improve your body position and range of motion on the bike, learn to brake more effectively, refine your ability to navigate through obstacles on the trail, corner with more confidence, and make better line choices on trail. You'll leave with refined skills helping you ride safer, smoother, and with more control and confidence!
The clinic will be held at the Foothills Watershed in Old Fort, NC. The Watershed includes a feature-rich network of mountain bike trails, as well as beautiful Catawba river frontage, great for swimming and relaxing. Our mid-day lunch break will allow you the opportunity to taste some of the amazing food available for purchase at Watershed.
Please note, to participate in the clinic, a Watershed All Access Day Pass must be purchased.
