Buckwallow Skills Boot Camp Registration – May 30th, 2015

Product Description

As riders, one thing we can always benefit from is a little instruction. Many times we continue to avoid the same obstacles or trails over and over again either because of a previous crash or the intimidation factor is too much. As much as falling is sometimes considered part of the sport, it’s not fun and can easily turn you off mountain biking entirely.

The Ride Guides Skills Boot Camps aim to remedy this situation. Let’s try and make those “ride-arounds” a thing of the past, or take you up a level overall and open up a whole new set of trails for you. Riders from novice up through intermediate skills levels can benefit significantly from spending a day with our Instructors. Not only do we spend the day at one of the best cycling areas in Ontario, the infamous Buckwallow, but you’ll get a fresh made BBQ lunch to boot.

Our Skills Boot Camps are taught in an intimate group format (no more than 12 students) which also helps to promote comradery within the group of riders. Riders participating in our Skills Camp must be at least 16 years of age (as of December 31, 2015) – For riders under the age of 16, please check out our Junior Skills Camp

You’ll meet your instructors and the group riding with us for the day. After the introductions, we’ll take a quick tour of the facilities and make sure everyone is sorted before we get started. We are going to cover the many different skills required to be successful on a mountain bike and you may learn a few things that you thought you knew… Here is an overview of some of what we will cover:

• Riding Positions
• Bike & Body Separation
• Front, Rear & Combination Wheel Lifts
• Pedalling Techniques
• Cornering Techniques
• and much more…
