3-Day Skills Camp: May 16-17, June 6

Hey folks,

I’m excited to finally announce the 3-Day Skills Camp — this is the full program I’ve been building for BCADV riders who want to get seriously confident in the dirt.

It runs May 16–17 at IMI (closed-course range) + June 6 trails field day).

We’ll spend the first two days at IMI locking in the core skills and putting them together, then head out on the trails on Day 3 where I’ll demo and walk you through terrain reading, line choice, and real-world decision-making.

Here’s how it breaks down:

  • Days 1–2 at IMI: Bike setup & lifting, standing position & body control, clutch/throttle/brake mastery (sitting and standing), counterweighting, braking & acceleration on loose surfaces, traction management & recovery, obstacles (whoops, waterbars, ruts), hill climbs/descents & K-turns, off-camber sections, slow-speed technical control, and full integration loops. Lots of demos, coached practice, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

  • Day 3 on the trails (June 6): We take everything we practiced and apply it in real terrain. I’ll talk you through reading the ground, picking smart lines, managing risk, and handling whatever comes up.

You’ll finish the three days riding smoother, with way fewer “oh crap” moments, and actually enjoying technical sections instead of just surviving them.

Important details:

  • Limited to just 6 participants (small group for maximum coaching).

  • BCADV members get $100 off the regular price.

Full details, pricing, and signup are live on the site here.

If you’ve been wanting to level up your dirt riding this season, this is the one. Hope to see you there for a fun and very productive weekend + trail day.
