ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Who is this clinic for?
This clinic is for riders of all genders, ages 18 and up. (We love seeing young riders getting stoked, but this one’s just for the adults!)
What kind of bike do I need?
Mountain bikes only for this one. You’ll need a bike with knobby tires and at least a front suspension fork. The skills we teach are specific to mountain biking, so proper mountain bike setup is essential.
🚫 No hybrid, gravel, or department store bikes — for safety reasons, these bikes aren’t permitted.
Do I need previous experience?
For this skills clinic, at a minimum, you should be reasonably comfortable riding on singletrack trails and feel ready to start getting some air under your tires. If you have been experimenting with sending drops but want guidance to refine your technique and learn different shapes of drops—this is the gamechanger you’ve been looking for!
What helmet and gear are required?
A cycling-specific helmet (less than 5 years old) is required. Knee and elbow pads are welcome but not required.
What happens if it rains?
We ride in the rain! If the weather makes learning conditions unsafe (lightning or torrential downpours), we’ll reach out with rescheduling options. .
Can I rent a bike or helmet?
StokedMTB does not offer rental. Please ensure your mountain bike and gear are in good working order before you arrive.
