Weekend – Strong Intermediate Program – Level 1

Weekend Strong intermediate course is a fun course filled with a range of skills and drills that will improve the way you handle your bike while connecting with like-minded Shred Sisters.

On day one the program will start the day with a morning of mountain bike skills sessions in a green field. In the afternoon we will hit the trails to go practice what we’ve learned. On day two there will be a small field session and the balance of the day will be on trails to learn new skills and apply everything you’ve learned throughout the weekend.

Our weekend workshop is the perfect way to improve your skills, add some style to your riding, be more confident on your bike, and have fun with your new Shred Sisters friends!

Testimonial

I’ve been mountain biking for about 6 years but never had real instruction on how to do things, so I kind of bashed my way through a lot. Now I have the tools to stop bashing through stuff as much! I’m more confident on drops and I’m getting more air on jumps.
