Which Evergreen class is right for me?

 

Foundations 1 Beginner: 

  • You’re comfortable on a bike and can ride moderate grades on the road but have little to no time spent on dirt trails. 
  • You are comfortable riding on your bike but might not yet be comfortable with steeper grades, both ascending and descending. 
  • You can shift and brake but want to branch off riding on the street and get your bike dirty on some mountain bike trails!

 

Foundations 2 Intermediate: 

  • Prerequisites: Foundations 1 - Beginner
  • Have been mountain biking regularly but haven't pushed yourself further than most of the greens and some blues at your local trailhead.
  • You are comfortable with dirt and trails at moderate grades. You've started to branch out from the easiest terrain but are still feeling nervous committing to all those blue trails and haven't begun jumps or drops. 

 

Cornering Clinic:

  • Prerequisites: Foundations 2 - Intermediate
  • Have been mountain biking comfortably on green and blue trails. 
  • Comfortable coasting around corners, starting to add speed or play with variations. 
  • You’re ready to tackle steeper corners smoothly and with consistent speed. 
  • This class is about progressing foundational skills to create speed, consistency, and confidence around flat and bermed corners. 

 

Advanced Skills:

  • Prerequisites: Foundations 2 - Intermediate
  • Have been mountain biking comfortably on green and blue and some black trails.
  • You’re interested in pushing yourself to tackle trail features like drops and wood features but feel nervous committing to air and/or steeps.
  • This class is about taking your riding to the next level - you’ve been working on foundational skills but want to add speed, feel in control on more advanced obstacles, and add more playfulness to your riding.

 

Intro to Drops & Jumps:

  • Required Prerequisite: Foundations 2 - Intermediate; Recommended Prerequisite - Cornering Clinic
  • Have been mountain biking comfortably on green and blue and several black trails. 
  • You are finding yourself comfortably coasting down the table top jump lines and playing with small bits of air.
  • This class is about learning the fundamentals of drops and jumps to start getting you comfortable in the air and giving you the tools to start riding easier jump lines.

  

Technical Descending:

  •  Required Prerequisite: Foundations 2 - Intermediate; Recommended Prerequisite - Advanced Skills or Cornering Clinic
  • Have been mountain biking comfortably on green and blue and several black trails, but may find yourself avoiding steeper slopes or walking around roots, rocks and other more technical obstacles.
  • You want to try the quintessential PNW tech but don’t quite feel like you have the bike control to feel comfortable yet.
  • This class is about refining fundamental skills and applying them on-trail to advanced features so that you can ride the roots and rocks and steeps with comfort, control and fun!
