The Ride Series MTB Skills Clinics

These “Drop the Hammer Progression Sessions” are getting good!

We’re gonna let you in on a little secret: it’s not actually about Drop the Hammer 😳🤔. The purpose of these two days is to instill the base of technique needed to create stability in any situation on the bike. We don’t teach to obstacles, we position athletes to grow as riders for as long as they would like.

It’s certainly not a complicated task, it just ain’t easy.

Born from experience, structured through science, proven effectiveness. The Ride Series, it’s different by design.

We’ve been out of the “How To” game for quite some time, but realized this video (and a follow up) were hidden in the archives. Our hope is that it sets a solid foundation of understanding for how best to go about creating comfort jumping. As is always the case, this video pales in comparison to being at a TRS event and having in the moment feedback.

Stay tuned for the follow up in a few days AND check out the website to register for our JUMP Basics and JUMP Progression sessions in the OZ Trails on Sat/Sun Aug 29/30 from 8-11

Is it “right” or is it “wrong” and WHY? There’s quite a bit of nuance here in regards to technique and teaching. HOW the message is delivered is very important and therichdrew had over 15 years of experience crafting his teaching skill in the corporate world before he and Rob Drew created The Ride Series curriculum.

“Don’t think you know…now you know.” Knowing you know comes from years of relevant experience.

We’re so intrigued by what the responses to this one will look like!!

One can’t teach what they can’t do. That’s a tenet of The Ride Series.

In order to teach someone to ride well, the teacher must, in fact, be able to ride well. Riding well isn’t opinion based, it’s an empirical scale.

Teaching well is also a requirement and an art that needs to be honed over many years and situations.

Being a good mountain bike coach requires the coach to ride at an empirically high level AND communicate at an even higher level. It’s simple…just not easy.

The Ride Series is different, trust us. It’s also not for everyone.
