If you’ve got kids showing an interest in mountain biking and want them to learn practical bike handling skills, then join us for the IRC Kid’s Rider Skills Clinic. The class begins with an overview of bicycle safety and clinic fundamentals followed by a series of exercises demonstrating rider-influenced bike maneuvers such as front & rear wheel lifts, hops, drop/roll-offs, late & emergency braking and cornering techniques over pavement, loose dirt, rocks, logs, ruts & potholes. Watch your budding riders enjoy a fun-filled morning on their bikes while developing confidence navigating rocks, ruts/potholes, step-ups/drop-offs, emergency braking and cornering.The clinic is designed for riders, ages 8-12, and requires a mountain bike with a wheel size of 20″ or greater, multiple gears, hand brakes and knobby tires. Please no BMX, road, cruiser or hybrid bikes. Motorized recreation vehicles of any class or type are not permitted for recreational use. Parents or Legal Guardians, please register yourself and your child when you sign up. Parent or Legal Guardian must remain on site for the duration of the clinic, but only the kids will participate during the instruction portion. There is a bench for seating, but feel free to bring a camp chair for comfort. Registration is limited to allow for a maximum of one kid per adult registered. If you would like to bring additional kids, please have another parent or guardian register and attend with them.
To accommodate the widest range of fitness and skill the Clinic will remain in the Skills Park Area.
