In our neighborhood we have a weekly kids group ride. They range from absolute beginners to budding shredders. We want to put on a short skills clinic for the youngest and newest. They will have some experience riding flat single track, but are likely walking up anything 5% or more, and nervous decenders. They will likely never have heard of riding positions and won’t know what level pedals mean. If you had 60-90 mins with this group, what skills would you focus on?

Congrats Casey Cardwell for a 16 inch bunnyhop! You win a free drop in. Details in the video. Also, I'm not doing winners for mo they challenges anymore. I think most of you arent trying because you don't think you can win. My point for the monthly challenges is for a monthly topic we all work together on. Whether your trying it for the first time or just looking for improvement, I want everybody to participate. . What should the July challenge be?
