Today's BikeSkill's Clinic

10/14/06
Forecast - 60% chance of rain!

Well, it didn't rain like it was forecasted to so we got all geared up and threw a clinic at Aliso Woods. I thought I'd post a bunch of pictures so people can get an idea of what these clinics are like. This is the trail riding clinic.

We start at the parking lot and do bike set up, drills, and then head out the main trail to Cholla, up that to Rockit, down Rockit, and take Coyote/Dripping Cave back to the parking lot.

Pictures, L-R, then down...

1. Joe rounding up the riders and explaining the importance of bike setup (brake angle, lever position, suspension sag, rebound, etc.)
2. Joe starting the parking lot drills (track stands and manuals)
3. 3/4 ofthe way up Cholla we stop for some drilling on the rock step up
4. At the top of Lynx, Joe talking through the technique used in doing big step ups
5. & 6. Students applying parking lot drills by practicing the big step up under Joe's watchful eyes and coaching
7. Joe and guest instructer Tara Llanes watching and giving tips to students drilling

Good job to all the riders out there that attended.
