Welcome to Hot Wheels : drops, steeps and corners!

Taught by professional women riders, this clinic is designed for women who are ready to take their riding to the next level. In this 1-day clinic, you will learn proper technique for getting your wheels off the ground as well as build more confidence riding sustained technical steeps and corners.

Riders will learn skills such as body positioning, braking, cornering, wheel lifts and the theory behind drops and jumps. The morning will focus on skills and techniques in a controlled environment and the second half of the day is on the trail to apply these new developed techniques.

Geared toward intermediate to advanced female riders who want to improve their freeriding skills. No jumping or drop experience is required. If you are looking to improve your riding on The North Shore and the Bike Parks of BC, this is the weekend clinic for you.

Wade wants to help riders achieve their riding goals on the North Shore and is available for private and custom bookings through Endless Biking. Book your session now, there are not many available!

“I’ve been extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to ride my mountain bike all over the world, and also to have dabbled in every aspect of mountain biking. That and the fact that I call the “North Shore” home give me an all-encompassing perspective on this wonderful sport, and I love to share that knowledge with riders wanting to improve their skills. Each discipline of riding relates to the other, and until you have an understanding of this, your improvements will be limited. I want to help you reach your goals!” -Wade Simmons
