Flight School at the Dirt Disco

"DROPPIN"

Overview

Drops are becoming a staple of modern trail systems because they are incredibly fun. However, they must be ridden with proper technique and discretion. The worst advice you can get is to "just get back and send it."

Mountain biking risks can be greatly mitigated with good technique and a realistic perception of your ability. Our goal is to help you start small, build deep confidence, and eventually master the "A" lines with serious flow.
