MTB Skills Clinics in Bentonville – The Ride Series
Skills clinics, jump sessions and guided rides from a Bentonville-based coach
About
The Ride Series was founded in 2015 by head coach Rich Drew and is based in Bentonville. It runs MTB Skills Clinics in Bentonville and also travels to host clinics in other states.
Clinics
MTB 201 covers the fundamentals: body position, braking and turning. MTB 301 moves on to intermediate and advanced skills such as drops, lifts and jumping. Jump Sessions work through progressively bigger ramps, with video feedback. Local clinics are often held at OZ Trails.
Private sessions and guided rides
You can book one-on-one or small-group instruction aimed at a specific skill or goal. Corporate outings are also possible. Guided trail rides take you to some of the lesser-known local trails, which is handy if you are visiting and want to see more than the busy main loops.
Who it suits
The clinics are aimed at riders of all abilities, from first-timers to racers. Coach Rich Drew focuses on building solid skills and the confidence to use them on the trail.
