Welcome to the MCMBA Skills Clinic! 

Ready to level up your season? 

Stop "surviving" the trails and start thriving on them! Whether you want to clear that stubborn rock garden, nail a steep climb, or finally feel in control during fast descents, our inclusive MTB clinic is for you.

Why Join Us?

·  1:5 Ratio: You get personalized attention from 5 pro coaches.

·  All Skill Levels: We group you by ability (Beginner to Intermediate).

·  Real Skills: We practice on the grass, then take it straight to the dirt.

The Coaches: Vikki, Lisa, Melissa and Jimmie are ready to help you unleash your full potential on two wheels.

Limit: 20 Riders

Must haves: Helmet, properly functioning mountain bike, and a "can-do" attitude! (Flat pedals = your best friend for this one).

We will cover some skills on the grassy areas and some skills will be covered on the trail.
