Kelowna BegInt Tech & Flow – 2 Days

 

Kelowna BegInt Tech & Flow – 2 Days

May 4 @ 9:00 am - May 5 @ 3:00 pm

Free – $446.25

Check out new trails, learn tons of new skills and have so much fun in this 2 day BegIntermediate progression clinic in Kelowna! Tons of skill review and lots of trail practice over the 2 days while experiencing 2 completely different trail systems at Crawford and at Smith Creek.

Are you struggling to feel confident on intermediate trails? Let us help you bridge the gap with some more skills to boost that confidence! We’ll take the time to dial in the basics, work on riding in technical terrain and have you feeling comfortable and confident with your body position by the end of the session.

The Crawford trails at Myra-Bellevue Park have some great terrain for the BegIntemediate rider to work on their technical skills while Smith Creek trails are a bit more flowy and great for working and cornering and more skill refinement and practice carried over from day 1. Skills we’ll cover over both days will include lots of work on body position in different terrain, braking without skidding, switchback corners on the up and down, rolling through technical terrain, high speed corners and line selection.

We’ll help you get set up for a summer of success with some nice new habits! For Crawford trails, the majority of the clinic will be spent learning and practicing skills on the lower trails such as Fairlane, Spring Bypass and Jeckyl (all depending on group) along with rock roll practice in the bench area. Smith Creek trails TBC depending on group.

  • More Details

    MEET UP LOCATION:

    Meet up spot will be at the picnic table at the entrance to the trails just above the parking lots at Crawford trailhead for Day 1 and at the main Smith Creek trails parking lot for Day 2. Exact location and reminder details on what to bring will be sent out at least 1 week in advance by email.

    GROUPS:

    Participants will be grouped together by their ability level in cases where we are more than 1 coach.  The questionnaire that you fill out during registration will guide us on where to place you. Please sign up for the appropriate clinic for your ability and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We do our best to match similar levels together, but given the nature of the sport there will always be some differences in ability and fitness levels within every group.  These differences can offer a great opportunity to peer learn – the most advanced rider can always benefit from ‘slowing down and getting back to basics’ and a less experienced rider can progress from riding with more advanced riders in a supportive environment.

    GEAR NEEDED:

    Bike: All-mountain or XC bike in good working order.  Protective Gear/Attire: The following is mandatory for this clinic; helmet, knee pads, and full finger gloves.  Elbow pads, and other protective gear not listed above are optional.  We highly recommend dressing in appropriate bike clothes for the weather that day, and packing/wearing extra layers just in case – we ride rain or shine! Participants must also also have a multi-tool to repair anything on their bike as well as tube, tire levers and pump.  *Please ride in shoes/compatible pedals that you normally ride in – this is not the time to be learning a new system. For example learning to ride clipped in or vice versa. 

    SNACKS & WATER

    Please bring snacks and enough water to sustain you through this 3 hour session.

    WAIVERS:

    Each guest will be required to sign a Release of Liability, Waiver of Claims, Assumption of Risks and Indemnity Agreement at time of registration, prior to start of trip. Click here to view and fill in the online waiver at time of booking.  Participants are required to inform Sweet Skills of any allergies, medical conditions or injuries that might affect their riding or health and any medications taken.

    AGE:

    Minimum required age is 18 for our camps and clinics. Requests can be made on a case-by-case basis. It’s recommended for youth between the ages of 14 and 18 to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
