This intermediate/advanced course is designed to get students progressing their skills for hitting jumps and catching air on some of our favorite features for learning on Galbraith Mountain. This class is a perfect next-step for taking all the skills you’ve learned in our “grassroom” (at a local park) and pumptrack sessions to practice in real-life scenarios on the trails. You probably know how much “sessioning” features can help you progress so that’s what this class is all about. If you didn’t know, “sessioning” is when you repeat a particular section of trail, often one that is challenging, seems to interrupt flow, or is just rad, taking various approaches until you start to feel your confidence rise and technique improve. Plus, riding certain features repeatedly with our encouraging coaches along with some direct video feedback is super fun and will provide you with helpful support. So while this won’t be a ride that clocks a lot of miles, it’s sure to help you build your technique in a fun and constructive way.

Radical Roots MTB has teamed up with Achieve Your Peak Physio to bring you these specialty workshops addressing different problem areas riders face. The goal of these indoor/off-the-bike workshops is to understand these common problems and prevent them from keeping you off your bike or preventing you from fully enjoying your ride.

This intermediate course is designed for riders who are eager to build a solid foundation for more technical skills and learn the progressions needed to keep that foundation growing. Students can expect to cover a vast array of skills that are needed to successfully ride technical trails (blue and some black rated) in the safety of a controlled environment. Along with teaching you the foundations for a variety of necessary skills, your coach(es) will offer progressive successions for many skills as well. You can also expect some “fun” homework so you can continue building and refining your skills well after the session ends.

In this entry-level course, designed for riders who are new to the sport or new to mountain bike skills instruction, students can expect to learn a foundation of the skills needed to successfully ride their mountain bike off-road. Along with teaching you the foundations for a variety of necessary skills, your coach(es) will offer progressive successions for many skills as well. You can also expect some “fun” homework so you can continue building and refining your skills well after the session ends.

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.

Would you consider yourself an intermediate rider? We know the term is rather broad but basically if you aren’t brand new (if so, see our 100 level classes) and you don’t feel particularly advanced or totally proficient in the wide variety of skills required to excel at mountain biking, you could probably describe yourself as “intermediate”. If this is you then consider signing up for our 200 level series of classes.

Current Rippers, future Rippers, friends, siblings, and parents are all invited!

Join us at The Transition Outpost for an evening of pizza, games, and community as we kick off the Fall Radical Rippers season.

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. We are big believers in the benefits of riding a pumptrack in order to hone your jumping (and many other) skills. A pump track is a circuit of rollers, banked turns, and features designed to be ridden completely by riders "pumping" (generating momentum) by dynamic body movements, instead of pedaling. The art of pumping is dynamic, powerful, and fun. If done properly, pumping helps a rider gain momentum without pedaling, which increases flow and efficiency on any bike - a perfect foundation for jumping.
