    Do you have to own a DH bike to participate/benefit or even take part in the clinic?
    I know it would certainly help. What if you ride a cross country bike but want to improve your
    DH skills ? Would it be a waste of time or even dangerous on 4.5'' travel bike?
    Thanks!

    DH or XC Clinic?

    Julius does XC/AM clinics too - so your 4.5" travel rig would work. I did my first DH clinic with him on my 575 (with 160mm fork). It was just me, so he tailored our ride to my equipment/ability. I would not have wanted to be on a short travel, steep geo bike for that. Here's Julius on a rocky section we rode during that clinic. I wouldn't want to be on a short travel bike for that. :bang:

    Hey all. As usual my monitoring of the threads falls below par. I've been responding to all clinic questions at my gmail ([email protected]), so if there is anyone on the thread wondering about clinics that hasn't emailed me I encourage you to do so. Right now I'm already committed on the following dates: 6/18, 6/25-26, 7/16-17, 7/23-24, 7/30-31.

    I'm happy and fortunate to see all the positive support the many that have attended are giving to my clinic, and I hope I can have similar experiences with all those who haven't yet come out and rode with me.

    Some of you have also been wondering about my more permanent departure: I'll be leaving at the beginning of September for a minimum of 12 months to attend a graduate program in London. Let's try to ride before then!
