HB Performance (aka Hayes Brakes) and Bikeskills have Teamed up for the first Bikeskills SESSIONS clinics. So what’s the difference between Bikeskills’ existing clinics, and SESSIONS?  Real simple: SESSIONS clinics are focused on either a single skills area (say jumping, drops, etc.) and, SESSIONS are compact, two-hour clinics.  The first two SESSIONS clinics will take place at the Rockville Bike Park (close to Sacramento, CA) and the justly famous Tenderfoot Trail in Mill Valley CA. For additional clinic information, times and locations, read on!

Not only has the weather been relatively mild this January in California, modest amounts of rain have left our trail systems in terrific condition.  About the only thing that could make things better is having an array of Bikeskills clinics to choose from. And best of all, this January – for the first time – you’re in luck whether you live in NorCal or SoCal!  So check out the schedule and sign up now for one of the J&J (Joe or Jiro) clinics. You’ll be glad you did!

2008 is just about in the books. So why not make taking a Bikeskills clinic a New Year’s resolution you’ll not only stick with, but actually enjoy and will help you get more out of your bike, your sport, and yourself? We’re going to make it not only easy for you by scheduling January clinics in multiple locations, but we’ll be adding some special incentives to make our clinics all the more valuable for those of you who want to start the year out right. Check the individual clinics near you to find out what those special incentives are! [Read more…]
