Public Skills Clinics
If you’ve been stuck with your riding and you want to more safely ride advanced terrain, or just ride the trails that “everyone else” seems to breeze through, these are the clinics for you.
If you're tired of hearing people tell you, “You just need more speed,” “You just need to send it,” or whatever “bro science” advice you’ve been getting, we get it. And we promise we don’t do that.
Come join us for a small group session and shave literal years off that old trial-and-error riding process!

Marinduro Prep Clinic
Come join us in Fairfax, CA for an awesome fundraising event supporting Marin Trail Stewards (A4B)! We’ll meet at Split Rock Tap and Wheel at 9am to work on body position, technique for corners, switchbacks and up/over/down roots + rocks!
100% of the proceeds from this clinic will be used to support Access 4 Bikes in their mission to maintain and advocate for mountain bike trail access in Marin County, along with creating a fun and supportive environment within the mountain biking community.
We’ll start off by reviewing some of the “MUST HAVE” basics before we head out onto the trail for some on-trail instruction. You’ll get a chance to push your limits in a safe, supportive, and fun learning environment. You’ll have the opportunity to try on-trail features that may intimidate you, with the safety of a spotter and professional instruction. The plan is to head to the top (Nike site) to work on building braking control body position and some cornering before riding some of the backside steep stuff! Trails will be dependent on our group. Everyone will get personalized feedback to help them progress during our day of skills as well as for months to come!
Build solid technique that will allow years and years of safe progression.
What to expect during a single clinic with TrailWorks
You’ll make big progress in 4 short hours.
You’ll learn the how, what and why when it comes to real solid technique.
You'll take away a ton of info that will keep you improving for months and even years to come.
You’ll see that even the most advanced trail features can be broken down into simple steps to be done more safely.
Whether you’re newer to riding or you’ve been riding for 30+ years but have hit a plateau, we can help you advance your riding quickly and safely!
Our camps are capped at 10 riders so don’t delay grabbing your spot.
