LTR FREESTYLE
Expedition:Kirkwood's newest performance clinic, the Learn to Ride Freestyle Clinic is geared towards snowboarders who want to see a whole different type of progression in their riding. Lead by Expedition's top Freestyle guides, these clinics will focus on freestyle development both in the park and around the mountain.
Increase your terrain park skills and knowledge, refine park etiquette, focus on the technique, skills, and maneuvers to succesfully ride in the half pipe... Hit jumps with ease and learn how to successfully nail a box or rail. We will be breaking down each part of the freestyle riding into the skills needed in the approach, take-off, maneuver, and landing to help provide you with a safe and successful progression.
Learn all mountain riding skills to add variety to your riding, switch maneuvers, drops, different spins and grabs, flatland maneuvers and proper equipment set up. Using the natural terrain features Kirkwood is known for, our guides will show you a completely different way to experience the mountain.
Riders must be comfortable on intermediate terrain. Freestyle specific boards are available for demo from our demo center FREE for clinic participants!
Clinics begin at 9:30am and run for 6 hours. Meet at the Expedition:Kirkwood HQ on the Village Plaza prior to start for grouping and ability splits. Clinics include lunch and a full day of coaching.
