This intermediate course is designed to get students progressing their skills for roll-downs and drops on some of our favorite features for learning on Galbraith Mountain. This class is a perfect next-step for taking all the skills you’ve learned in our “grassroom” sessions (at a local park) to practice in real-life scenarios on the trails. You probably know how much “sessioning” features can help you progress so that’s what this class is all about. If you didn’t know, “sessioning” is when you repeat a particular section of trail, often one that is challenging, seems to interrupt flow, or is just rad, taking various approaches until you start to feel your confidence rise and technique improve. Plus, riding certain features repeatedly with our encouraging coaches along with some direct video feedback is super fun and will provide you with helpful support. So while this won’t be a ride that clocks a lot of miles, it’s sure to help you build your technique in a fun and constructive way.
