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.

I was always afraid of the bike park. Skinnies, teeter totters, jumps those were the realm of the ‘expert’ riders or the crazy kids who have no fear of getting hurt! After my weekend course I find myself looking for features to roll over, ride off of or jump. I am already planning my next session to keep learning more! Mountain Biking is now more than just following friends on trails. Thanks Shred Sisters!
