Flight School at the Dirt Disco
"JUMPIN"
Overview
Jumps are becoming a staple of modern trail systems because they are incredibly fun. However, they must be ridden with proper technique and discretion.
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.
