Riders will be divided into groups based on experience and ability.

On June 11th, we will host a Q&A session at Lost Forty Brewing (501 Byrd St, Little Rock, AR 72202) from 6pm to 7pm that will provide program details including mileage and pacing for each of these groups. We will also introduce our Training Ride Team of Coaches and Leaders to the attendees.

JUMP BASICS:
We get it, everyone wants to jump! However, most people don’t embrace the technique AND psychology behind doing it well. You have to understand the what and why before you can start to build confidence with the how, that’s what this session is for. Not only will you build a solid understanding of what NEEDS to happen, you’ll also get plenty of reps working through the steps of how it needs to happen, all in a safe and controlled environment.
Topics Covered:
Riders will get plenty of reps on multiple takeoffs/landings and Rich will work through multiple rounds of video so you can see exactly what’s working and what isn’t.
JUMP PROGRESSION Session: Ground School and Skills Park Jumpline
This event is all about getting comfortable in the air. That starts with a solid understanding of what it takes to get into the air properly. It’s also critical to get as MANY reps as possible in a controlled environment and that’s what the TRS ground school setting gives you.
Our Pro level coaches break down the dynamics involved with jumping a bike. Based on over 70 years experience, they guide you through their real world experience and give you key insight and cues on what to do and also what not to do.
After showcasing the proper technique, you’ll work through a series of reps and the distance will incrementally increase as your comfort level increases. Analysis and feedback using slow motion video will have you “busting big” in no time.
There’s no substitute for experience when it comes to jumping a bike. The only problem is that experience in the right setting can be hard to come by. You’ll get tons reps on our jump lines and receive valuable feedback in the moment.
RIDERS MUST HAVE:
– Experience jumping
– Full suspension bikes with suspension in working order
– Full safety gear including pads (Full Face helmet not required, but suggested)
This class is intended for riders with jump experience and will move at a specified pace. Coaching staff reserves the right to hold riders to pre determined distances based on performance.
Please reach out if you are unsure if this class is a proper fit for you.
DROP PROGRESSION Session: Ground School and Skills Park drops

Through a structured, step-by-step approach, participants learn essential techniques such as body positioning, bike control, and speed management. Starting with small, manageable features, the course gradually introduces more challenging drops, ensuring riders develop the necessary skills and confidence to handle various trail scenarios. By focusing on progressive learning and practical application, this course aims to transform apprehension into mastery, enabling riders to navigate drops with assurance and control.

FayetteHill
2025-06-28 06:30 - 14:00 | Fayetteville High School, 994 W Martin Luther King Blvd, Fayetteville, 72701, United States
4th annual! Very unofficial/FREE/non-sanctioned. Run at your own risk. No or little markings. Maybe medals. No swag. No glory. No one cares. Definitely heat. Definitely regret. Backyard party at the finish.

Mix surface course primarily trail, including Centennial, Markham and Kessler. You will cover most of the Fayetteville Traverse and then some. Leave the big lugs at home, because this course is going to be about 1/3rd pavement. Perfect party run to train for upcoming races or just to have a terrible time.

Roughly 20 miles. Unofficially you can end at smokehouse (13 miles) or start at smokehouse (7 miles), but this requires you to shuttle.
Basic aid stations and water drops. You’ll need at least 1 bottle, if not two.

If you want in, you MUST sign up as “going”. Final details and specifics will only be given to those that are registered.
