The series consists of weekly group instruction and rides. Each week a different set of skills will be covered.

This allows participants to learn & practice the skills covered on an actual trail. No off-road experience is necessary. The classes are instruction oriented where techniques are demonstrated and explained in detail; all participants will then attempt and re-attempt the techniques to optimize individual skill levels.
