Steep Descending & Drops Clinic

Sedona has incredible downhill terrain. There are few places in the world that offer the quality and variety of technical features that are literally all over our backyard. Riders can encounter steep slick rock rolls, off camber terrain, steep and loose ridge lines, chunky stair steps and drops of all shapes and sizes.

To maximize your fun and flow on our trails, riders must understand what skills are needed, when to apply each skill and how to execute them. So let our team help you realize your own potential!

Sedona is the perfect location to refine your skills with the instruction of a certified coach!   Join Level 3 BICP Coach Evan Puglia (one of the top instructors in the Southwest) and gain a better understanding on how drop, roll and ride steep terrain with confidence.

Morning Skills Session:
This day-long clinic will start at the Sedona Bike Park where we will thoroughly review correct body position and footwork for steep terrain. Techniques will be given to help riders increase stability, balance and control on a variety of features.

Two drop techniques will also be introduced at the bike park. Learning the advantages/disadvantages and when to apply each is key. Plenty of practice will happen at the park before we take these skills to the afternoon trail session.

Delicious Lunch Options:
A catered boxed lunch alongside the SMBA staff for an hour is an opportunity to connect on the clinic’s content or chat general mtb tips&tricks.  

Afternoon Trail Session:
Our afternoon session will exclusively be on Sedona’s trails. Our team has selected a loop that covers a wide range of Sedona downhill features. Steep rock rolls, chunky steps, exposed steep ridge lines and drops!

This clinic is tailored for riders who identify as light intermediate through strong intermediate.  The group size will be small, ensuring plenty of individualized feedback for each participant.
