MTB skills session in SoCal on Oct. 20

Hey all, I’m stoked to announce a kung fu skills session in Temecula, CA on Oct. 20.

I’ll be in SoCal to train high school coaches, and I’m doing a public session on Saturday.

Studying in the dojo in my back yard.

Your teacher
Hi I’m Lee, and I like bikes. Some things I’ve done:

• Wrote the books Mastering Mountain Bike Skills, Teaching Mountain Bike Skills, Pro BMX Skills and Welcome to Pump Track Nation. (Look at the right side of this page.)

• As the skills development director for NICA, the national high school mountain bike league, I create the curriculum and teach it to riders, coaches and the coaches who teach coaches how to teach riders.

• I work with riders of all style and levels, from beginners to world champions. I do most of my coaching at home in Boulder, CO, but I grew up in SoCal and I’m stoked to teach there.

Learn more about my teaching approach.

Who this clinic is for

Technical climbing at Valmont Bike Park in Boulder, CO.

Any mountain bike rider who wants to ride smoother, safer and faster in all sorts of terrain. You should have at least decent bike control and confidence. If you’re already good, you’ll get way better. Seriously.

You should be old enough to drive. Email me for exceptions.

The plan
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20

I’ll tweak the program to suit the riders who attend. Here’s the basic plan.

In the morning we’ll hit core skills:

• Position
• Braking
• Cornering
• Going up and down things
• Pumping terrain

We’ll take a quick lunch break (BYOL) then we’ll apply our new skills on the local terrain.

Location
Rainbow Trails in Temecula.

Watch BMX/MTB legend Eric Carter flow like the champ he is. We’ll use whichever trails/features fit attendees’ skill level.

Cost
$300 per rider. Six riders max.
