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’m stoked to check out your East Coast trails.

Learn more about my teaching approach.

Who this clinic is for
Any mountain bike rider who wants to ride smoother, safer and faster in all sorts of terrain. If you have at least some basic ability to ride off-road, you’ll get a ton out of this class. If you’re already good, you’ll get way better. Seriously.

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

The plan

Technical climbing at Valmont Bike Park. This skill is a game changer!

9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3

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 then we’ll apply our new skills on the local trails.

Location
Trail 119 area in Tarrytown, NY.

Cost
$300 per rider. Six riders max.

Policies

Time: The clock starts at the appointed time. Be ready to ride.

Equipment: Your bike should be well adjusted and in good working order. If Andy believes your bike is not safe, we will spend clinic time making it safe. If Andy needs to adjust anything —brakes, gears, suspension — he will use clinic time.

Changes and cancellations: If you want to change your appointment, you must notify me by phone or email within 24 hours. After that time, there will be no change or refund.

Weather: Bad weather does not cancel sessions. If the conditions permit any kind of riding, we will ride. If it’s raining, bring a jacket. If it’s muddy, we’ll find another surface to ride on. If the lift closes because of lightning, we will push our bikes or practice in the parking lot. If we do cancel because of weather, it will be at Andy’s discretion, and he will notify you as early as possible.

Liability: Bike riding has inherent risks, and you must accept those risks. You will sign a waiver before you ride.
