Skills Clinic Yes, it's that time of year again!!! Need to learn some skillz
or improve the ones you got? Last year's riding clinic was set up to help people
of all levels from the very basic riding (shifting, braking, weight placement)
to rolling off stunts, bunny hoppin logs, and finesse skills. This year promises
to offer the same. We are shooting for Saturday, June 19th with the location to
be determined. So, mark your calendars and get ready to improve your riding!!!
Past clinics cost $20, which includes park access permit for the clinic,
insurance, and food.
