Description:
St. Charles County Parks and Recreation and Wheels Up is teaming up to offer a variety of mountain bike skills clinics ranging from beginners to experts. Programs are offered at a variety of parks as well as times, so don't miss out on this unique opportunity to take your mountain biking skills to the next level! Bike and helmet required.
Adults and youth learn how to safely and successfully jump and land a mountain bike at this exciting skill class. Certified Wheels Up instructors teach a series of progressions to help participants learn the components needed to become a successful jumper. This Bike Instructor Certification Program (BICP) teaches basic wheel lifts, manuals and bunny hops, to proper weighting and un-weighting over a jump. Participants also review the anatomy of a jump, discuss varied landings and practice using compression for height and distance. After mastering these skill, riders will begin practicing jumps in a controlled environment. Cost of the program is $75 for youth and $90 for adults; pre-registration is required.
