MTB Clinics—SEMass NEMBA Turkey Afterburner

Learn new MTB skills during SEMass NEMBA's Annual Turkey Afterburner at Hale! All three clinics are offered from 9-11:30 AM.

Whether you’re new to riding or you’ve been shredding for years, develop skills to safely enjoy mountain biking on a variety of trails, through rock gardens, and beyond. Maintain an adventurous spirit and embrace the ‘challenge by choice’ motto as you set your own pace and explore features and challenges. Coaches offer personalized feedback that improves technique, increases confidence, and builds community.

Review and practice the essentials in a controlled environment as you focus on the importance of body positioning and technical skills such as braking, shifting, and steering. This clinic includes small features, drills, and demonstrations.

Make progress with fellow riders as you go from wheel lifts to bunny hops to small gap jumps. These clinics explore the mechanics of taking off and safely landing on flats and descents. Expand your riding capabilities to confidently hit trail features you wouldn’t have before.

Discover the importance and power of body positioning and learn to navigate tight situations, work on climbing and descending, tackle tough features, and practice cornering. This clinic spends more time on open trails and stops to session certain features.

Participants must be at least 15 years old to participate in Hale's Adult MTB Clinics.

Mountain bikers of all ages are drawn to Hale’s rugged, varied terrain just miles from Boston’s city line, and we’ve been eagerly expanding our youth mountain biking program over the years.

Hale MTB Camp focuses on skill-building and ride time for an existing community of young mountain bikers. Hale MTB Club is growing that community through a fantastic team of volunteer coaches who coordinate weekly rides and opportunities to participate in races and events throughout New England. Intrepid Academy at Hale students enjoy weekly after-school rides as part of their semester at Hale.

We’re thrilled with our progress and are helping hundreds of riders advance, but with your help, we can do more.

Thank you for supporting MTB opportunities for youth by making your gift today.
