Add Skill, Style, and Fun to Your Ride!

Who doesn't want to have more fun on the bike? For our team of instructors, adding skill-based maneuvers like bunny hops and manuals is a guaranteed way to make trail riding, backyard play, and riding with friends even more enjoyable. This Bunny Hops & Manuals Clinic, offered as a special event during the Sedona MTB Festival, will introduce and develop skills that are both functional and add style to your ride.

All Riders Are Welcome

Maneuvers in this clinic will be introduced at their most basic level and built up to their full advanced form. Yes, bunny hops and manuals are advanced maneuvers, but newer riders will still gain real value from this clinic. Everyone progresses at their own pace in a supportive, encouraging environment.This 1.5-hour clinic includes 30–45 minutes of practice time on each skill, giving you real time to build confidence and technique.
