Fluidride offers instruction for all cycling disciplines. All classes are led by professional rider and instructor Simon Lawton. Simon has over 10 years of full time teaching experience, and is the producer of Fluidride: Like a Pro, the world’s top selling instructional DVD. All instruction follows the proven Fluidride method, which is based on sound fundamentals and proper human movement over the bike.

Learn the proper way to handle your bike in order to have the most possible fun on the trail. Improve your riding by improving your:

•Body Position: Being in the right place on your bike at the right time makes all the difference. Learn to let you bike do the work for you with correct body position.

•Turns: We work on all types of turns. Learn proper footwork, and your turns will never be the same!

•Descending: Learn to use the power of the hill to create control.

•Dropping Skills: Tired of getting off your bike for drops on the trail? Learn how to take drops consistently with proper form.

•Jumping Skills: Getting airborne can be scary or fun. Learn how to make it fun and helpful to your overall riding.

•Climbing Skills: Learn to climb better, and get off your bike less. Learn to use your weight shifts, and concepts like “surging” to get you up the trail faster and keep you on your bike.
