5 Day Summer Camp – Blue/Black Level

The Blue/Black Camp: Advanced Skills & Trail Progression

Ready to take your riding to the next level? This camp is designed for experienced intermediate and advanced riders who have mastered the fundamentals and are seeking to push their limits, conquer technical terrain, and ride with greater speed and flow.

Who This Camp Is For: Confident riders who are comfortable on most blue-level trails (moderate technicality and difficulty) and are eager to tackle black-level features (steep climbs, technical rock gardens, larger drops/jumps).

Skill Focus: We move beyond the fundamentals and dive into advanced techniques for trail mastery:

Pumping & Flow: Generating speed and momentum without pedaling on rollers and bumps.

Advanced Cornering: High-speed cornering and railing berms with proper technique.

Drops & Jumps: Safe and progressive instruction on executing small-to-medium drops and developing jumping skills (e.g., bunny hops, manuals, and table tops).

Technical Climbing/Descending: Advanced line choice, weighting/unweighting, and momentum management on steep, technical terrain.

Bike Setup: Optimizing suspension and component settings for performance.

The Vibe: Challenging, progressive, and focused on performance. We’ll utilize technical trail features and dedicated skill zones to unlock greater control and confidence on difficult trails.

Prerequisite: Participants should be comfortable riding a variety of blue trails and have their basic riding position, shifting, and braking dialed in. They should be able to ride on varied terrain (including climbing) for 30-45 minutes without stopping.
