Learn new MTB skills during NEMBA's annual Afterburner at Hale! MTB Essentials 9:30 AM–12:30 PMSeveral basic skills are needed to safely enjoy mountain biking. Our Essentials course takes advantage of a controlled environment to review the three MTB essentials, emphasize the importance of body positioning, and introduce five key skills: braking, small features, shifting, steering, and dismounts. If you’re somewhat new to riding and eager to shred trails and have more fun, this session is for you. Jump Clinics 10:30–11:30 AM; 2:30–3:30 PMDuring our Jump Clinics, we'll learn to go from wheel lifts to bunny hops to small gap jumps, and we'll make progress together as we cover the mechanics of how to take off and safely land on flats and descents. IMPORTANT: Once you sign up for a clinic, remember you must also register for the event on NEMBA's site.MTB for MoreMountain bikers of all ages are drawn to Hale’s rugged, varied terrain just miles from Boston’s city line, and we’ve been eagerly expanding youth mountain biking program over the past five years. Hale MTB Camp focuses on skill-building and ride time for an existing community of young mountain bikers. Wild Ones MTB is growing that community through a fantastic team of volunteer coaches who coordinate weekly rides and opportunities to participate in races and events throughout New England. Intrepid Academy at Hale students enjoy weekly after-school rides as part of their semester at Hale. We’re thrilled with our progress and are helping hundreds of riders advance, but with your help, we can do more. Thank you for supporting MTB opportunities for youth by making your gift today.
