 This optional R6-7 terrain requires good use
of Control Synergy & Counterbalancing. |

Congratulations! If you've been participating in the SkillzDrill Series up to this point, your riding ability has probably changed dramatically. This day, more post-Series ride than class, is your opportunity to get together with other students and friends, test yourself on the bike, and celebrate your newfound abilities.
 Looks like R5 sand? We'll add more rocks... |

Prepare for a full day out on the roads and trails. Beautiful scenery on either side of the slab in the morning will give way to some of
the challenging
Sand riding experienced in the last class of the Series.
The morning will continue on some very fast unpaved terrain, where
Tire Lofting will likely serve us well in handling obstacles without big
slow-downs. Good
Control Synergy will be a must when the trail gets
narrow, steep, & curvy later on. Rocky, root-infested sections in particular will call for the careful
Line Selection. As the day progresses, steep
Uphill
and
Downhill trails will lead to easier terrain guiding us back to the
slab for our homeward journey.
If we look more or less like this at
the end of the day, we did it right. |

Trails like this require control synergy
- and confidence - to ride. |
|
In short, you will have the opportunity to make use of every skill taught in every class thus far. We will discuss & practice linkage of multiple
skills, timing, and line selection where even the "good line" is a
challenge. Similar to the R4-5 Line Selection class, we will discuss riding challenges as they come up in challenging real-world riding - though only as required or requested by students; Less Talk, More Ride.
You should feel solid on R5 terrain, and be ready to at least muddle through R7 sections, to join this ride.
