The Crew – You guys were great!
“Teching out”
Mark up on the box
Getting the front wheel up – right foot at the end of a strong pedal stroke, head up, arms straight
Don really gets the front end up!
Cyndi caught in the middle of a perfect power stroke to lift the front wheel
Mike concentrating hard
Mark you need a taller obstacle!
Don – front tire touching down, pedals level, ready to spring up and unweight the rear tire
Don – body moving up, no weight on the pedals and the bike following him up. Just time it a little earlier and the rear tire will float up there effortlessly
Peter wheelie drops the ladder. Peter, I didn’t even teach you this!!
Trackstand traffic jam
Cyndi – quiet and strong, finding her sweet spot
Mike finds his favorite foot
Kathy – great position, arms strong and torso over the stem
Hanging out in one spot – why use two wheels when you can get around on one? 🙂
Jonathan, You inspired me to do more than I ever thought I could. You helped all of us in a few short hours open our eyes to better bike handling skills out on the trails. Thank You! Mark
Not sure why I was suprised to see everyone out in the rain-these are REAL bikers. Great clinic Jonathan!
Jonathan,
What a great clinic. As a new person to mountain biking, this was just perfect. You focused on skills which will make us not only better, but safer riders. So often we think we know these skills, but we really don’t….and to have an opportunity to be taught the proper way is really important….and you make it fun, too! Thanks for all your feedback. It was always constructive. You did a great job zeroing in on each person’s strengths and areas for improvement. Looking forward to the next clinic.

Jonathan I am so proud of you. You are doing something we have discussed for so many years and you are following through. Just think about how many people you are helping enjoy the sport we love that much more.
