Caveman MTB Skill clinics – Pretoria

Caveman hits Pretoria on June 20 & 21.

Build FREE SPEED!

No matter how fast (or slow) you are, I teach basic MTB skills. (I still practice them myself) The more you practice these skills, the sooner you will: Ride faster, ride safer, ride hairier trails, have more fun!

What to expect: This is about learning, not about “jaag-ing” till everyone is dropped and/or bleeding. We cultivate a low pressure, low key, relaxed atmosphere where you can best learn the basic skills in a safe environment. We spend most of our time on a smooth, flat surface. (ok, I may place soft obstacles in your way) Once you have a good handle on the skills, we break for drinks & snacks before we hit the trails & apply what we learned. We start with easy trails, we ride stop & go, so I can demonstrate and watch you convert “parking lot skills” to the trail. (For the Karate Kid fans, think: “Wax on, wax off, paint the fence etc” before you can kick ass)

You dont need to be super fit or tapered and carbo loaded. That said, I cater to the needs of the group, which is why its even better if we can fill the class with your riding friends. (Once or twice the ride has spiraled into a bit of a overtime smash-fest with silly grins at the end…)

You dont need to be in much of a shape to learn, BUT your bike needs to be in perfect working condition!

If you have knee pads, bring them. This is not a crash-fest, but somehow we just ride better with them on.
