FULL RISK DISCLOSURE
MOUNTAIN BIKING IS A DANGEROUS SPORT. ALL ACTIVITIES PROPOSED IN THIS COURSE ARE ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Mountain Biking by definition is a non-organized, at your own risk activity. Gaining experience is invaluable and an online course cannot completely provide the required knowledge you need to guarantee your safety. Our goal is to make you a better, well-rounded mountain biker, a better teammate, and more educated rider.

GOLHER FEEDBACK
Real comments from real members.
"I've only watched the Fundamentals videos so far because that's about where I am as a mountain biker! And I got out to ride on Friday to try them out - fantastic! I think I'm actually better than I thought - lol. So, onto the next videos! Getting out again this weekend to try some more."
