MTB 401 - Into the Steep & Deep

Unlock Your Confidence on Advanced Trail Features

I ride black trails confidently, but steep, exposed trail features still make me hesitate. When the terrain gets committing — mandatory roll-ins, steep slabs, narrow bridges, and high-consequence lines — my confidence drops, even if I have the skills.
If advanced trail features on trails like Crippler, Pipeline, or Boundary feel like the final barrier to unlocking the Shore’s hardest riding, this clinic is designed to help you ride them with control, intention, and confidence.

MTB401 focuses on steep, technical trail features where line choice, body position, braking control, and commitment all have to come together. This is not about going bigger or faster — it’s about riding advanced features well, especially when exposure and consequences are high.

What You Will Learn:

• Approaching and riding advanced trail features with confidence

• Managing exposure on steep roll-ins, slabs, and fall-line features

• Line choice and vision through high-consequence technical sections

• Braking control and body position on steep, committing terrain

• Mental strategies for staying calm and decisive on exposed features
