Overview
New for 2025, SVSEF debuts an exciting program addition focusing on skills-based mountain bike instruction for athletes ages 9-15! Participants will train at local bike park facilities and singletrack trails over 2 day-a-week sessions spanning 4 weeks in July and 3 weeks in August.
Areas of focus include braking, cornering, bike-body separation, and other technical riding skills athletes can apply to their progression in mountain biking and beyond!
This program is tailored to young athletes seeking to progress their technical bike handling skills. Though not focused on XC mountain bike racing, techniques learned in this program will complement training for mountain bikers of all abilities and disciplines.
The younger athletes (Group 1) use a shorter session focused on fundamental skill building in bike parks and shorter trail rides.
The older athletes (Group 2) will prioritize breaking down line selection and application of technical skills on longer, trail-based experiences.
Athletes will meet at multiple north and south valley drop-off locations and use SVSEF vans for transportation to and from a variety of trailheads accessing permitted use of trails throughout the area. Riders will be coached by a trained mountain bike instructor with current first aid credentials.
