What Will You Learn

You will learn the core, fundamental skills of downhill mountain bike riding and racing. These core skills are not intuitive, unless someone taught you them it is unlikely that would know, understand and most importantly consistently do them.

 

Few US racers know the core skills and even fewer can do them well (which is the main reason the U.S does poorly at the international level) BetterRide Head Coach Gene Hamilton did not learn many of these skills until his sixth through tenth seasons as a pro racer. Our BetterRide coaches really get the rider to understand these techniques with our explanations, demonstrations,  drills and then on trail application of the skills. You will also learn the drills that you will take home with you for further practice to master these skills.
