BMA Skills Clinic - Progression Session: Drops

WHO THIS CLINIC IS FOR

To attend this clinic, you should be confident on your bike with a solid understanding of basic skills (our Fundamentals and Climb & Descend classes are a great place to start). You must be able to demonstrate a ready/attack position at the beginning of class and have a working knowledge of various kinds of wheel lifts like a front wheel lift, rear wheel lift and level lift.

DESCRIPTION

You’re an intermediate rider ready to learn how to do drops. In this clinic designed for more experienced riders, you’ll discover how to ride medium to larger drops (like the first drop on the large Slopestyle line at Valmont) safely and with confidence.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

• Review wheel lift mechanics
• Manual and bunny hop basics
• Multiple ways to drop off obstacles
• Proper landing position and technique for drops of various heights

Maximum 10 students. No matter how you ride your bike, you're about to ride it better!

Start Time: 5:30 pm (please be there at 5:15 pm to allow ample prep time)
