Session 2:
Are you interested in riding but haven't taken any courses with us yet? We'd love to set up another session starting May 6th, May 20th, June 3rd, June 17th with 3 or more riders. Email us and let us know.
Do you have a young rider in the Spring OBC Youth MTB Development program? This course is for you. We'l run the same evenings, at the same locations, and start once we get the groms squared away with their groups. You instructor will be ready at 6:00pm and we'll get started after the kids roll out at 6:15pm or so.
This first session is for riders who have previously taken courses with us. Our goal is to work on a variety of skills both on and off the trail including pressure control, cornering, wheelies, manuals, stoppies and north-shore dismounts. We also be sessioning specific trails and features to hone and adapt our skills with variation and repetition. We will review and refine core fundamental skills and maneuvers, continue to explore movement and balance, and explore traction and grip.
Depending on what the group want to work on, we can also cover bike set-up, handlebar changes, tire pressure and suspension adjustment to help adapt our equipment to our growing skills set.
If you don't have previous lesson experience we can set up additional sessions with 3 or more participants. We are always open to more dates with keen riders !
Email us any questions at: instruction@rideottawa.com
Note: It is expected that these lesson will be 1.5 hours in duration since we are coordinating with the kids; programming. We will also match rain dates as needed. Also not that we are not affiliated with the OBC.
