We have designed our summer camps and field trips for riders of various skill and experience level for a reason.  We want your kid to have as much fun as possible and the best riding experience as possible.  Part of striking that balance is creating experiences for riders of similar experience levels.  Please read the following Rider Level descriptions and if you still have questions, don’t hesitate to give me a call or shoot an email.  I’d be more than happy to chat about the best fit for your kid!  

• Level 1- Level 1 riders are beginner riders looking to enjoy the bike and riding with new friends just for fun!  Our Yew Camps are designed specifically for Level 1 riders.  Grouping bike riders in the appropriate skill level, we can create a non-competitive environment that meets your child where they are at and keeps the bike a fun and casual part of your kids life.  Level 1 riders specifically looking to improve upon their riding fundamentals will find Yew camps an inviting place to start before progressing with private lessons or moving up to the Skillz camp group. Your rider should be able to ride their bike comfortably, sitting and standing on the pedals. Comfortable using both brakes to stop. Riders should also be able to start and stoping with slight gradient and is able to make turns on the bike.

• Level 2- Level 2 riders are moderate to experienced riders looking to push themselves and develop new skills on the bike!  Our Skillz Camps are specifically designed for riders that are comfortable with bike handling and have the baseline skills down.  These riders are looking to progress in a somewhat competitive and action sports oriented environment with the guidance of a hands on coach.  Level 2 riders should have the following riding fundamentals down before joining a Skillz camp: Your rider should be very comfortable on the bike, capable of front and rear wheel lifts, bunny hops and is able to maintain high speeds. Rider can start and stop comfortably with grade, is able to make a bike-body separation, and corner with speed. Jumping skills are a plus but we will actively work on jumping in the Skillz Camps.

• Level 3- Level 3 riders are experienced riders looking to go to the next level!  Level 3 riders are confident racers or freeriders who want to narrow in on a specific skillset, step up their game with a private lesson or dig into personalized goals with a Coach. We can make a plan to tackle any goal on the bike! Style, Flips, Spins, Specific air tricks, more speed on downhill races, strength, agility or proprioception training.  We also specialize in connecting the mind and body for riders looking for an edge. These tools truly are what set us apart at a competitive level.
