MTB 301: Intro to Jumps

$185.00

This intermediate course is designed for riders who are eager to build a solid foundation for catching air (and landing safely) and who want to learn the progressions needed to keep that foundation growing. Students can expect to cover a vast array of skills that are needed to successfully hit jumps (kickers, table tops, step-ups, gaps, etc). Along with teaching you the foundations for a variety of wheel lifts and jumps, your coach(es) will offer progressive successions for many skills needed to ride at higher speed as well. You can also expect some “fun” homework so you can continue building and refining your skills well after the session ends.

  • Prerequisites for this class: 

    • A desire to grow and refine your skills for riding mountain bikes at higher speeds and to get your wheels off the ground

    • MTB 204 or equivalent / the ability to perform the skills listed in our 200 level series classes

    • You can ride most or all of the blue-rated trails you encounter

  • Click here to read more about how you can prepare for your lesson

  • Duration: 3 - 3.5 hrs, depending on class size (3-6 riders)

    • Classes with fewer than 3 riders may convert to a shorter, more personalized coaching format. We will contact you if your class qualifies for these options.

  • Cost: $185 

  • Location: Exact meeting location will be sent upon registering but you can expect one of Bellingham’s beautiful local parks

MTB 301 will cover topics like:

  • Bike Set-up specific for improving jumping techniques

  • Body position for hitting different jumps (table tops, gaps, step-ups & step-downs)

  • Basic wheel lift review 

    • front, rear, hee-haw, & level

  • Advanced wheel lifts 

    • bunny hops, manuals, wheelies, and bump jumps

  • How to hit kickers and practice jumps

    • Landing both wheels together

    • Landing rear wheel first on purpose (huck to flat practice)

  • Riding safely with more speed (advanced braking and cornering)
