The Progression Series
Weekly group lessons to level up your skills — and fun!
Ready to crush your fears, sharpen your skills, and have fun on every ride? The Progression Series is an action-packed program designed to build confidence and refine your mountain biking techniques. Whether you're just starting out or looking to push your skills further, this six-week series, taught by certified instructors, will help you ride stronger and more confidently.
We know that riders come in all skill levels, so you won’t be thrown into a one-size-fits-all group. Our small, supportive groups are thoughtfully organized so beginners can build skills at their own pace, while more experienced riders are challenged appropriately. No judgement, no intimidation, no getting left behind—just the right level of progression for you!
Each week, we’ll focus on essential techniques, from body position and braking, to flowing through berms and tackling obstacles like drops and wheel lifts. Through six two-hour sessions, you’ll gain the skills, confidence, and flow to unlock a whole new level of riding stoke!
Open to all genders, ages 18+, and skill levels—come ride with us!

Who is the Progression Series Perfect For?
This program is for anyone who wants to ride the trails with more confidence, control, and flow—whether you're new to the sport or an experienced rider looking to refine your technique.
The Progression Series is for you if:
🚵 You’re new to mountain biking and want to learn the skills to ride singletrack safely and confidently.
🚵 You’ve been riding for a while but feel stuck—whether it’s cornering, technical climbs, or rolling over obstacles, you want to ride smoother and with more control.
🚵 You want to stop guessing and start progressing with expert coaching that makes learning easier, safer, and way more fun.
🚵 You’re ready to push your skills further—we keep the groups small so every rider is challenged at the right level.
🚵 You want to ride with a supportive crew—learning is way more fun when you're surrounded by people who cheer you on!
Okay, but is it right for me?
As long as you’ve got some time on the trails under your belt, we’ll take it from there. We take the guesswork out of assessing your skills by matching you with your crew at your exact level—from those finding their flow to intermediate riders looking for more technical lines.
This ensures you’re always in the "sweet spot" for growth: challenged enough to progress, but never so far out of your depth that you lose confidence. From hitting your first roll-in to refining your airtime, we’ll make sure you're in the right group to crush your personal goals.
Still unsure? Got questions?
Just ask—we’re here to help you find your line.
Brand new (or just plain nervous) on the dirt?
Our Intro to MTB events are the perfect starting point for new and nervous riders. If the lumps, bumps, and trees on that narrow ribbon of dirt have you questioning your life choices—we’ve got you. We’ll help you trade those trail nerves for total confidence in a supportive, low-pressure environment.
