Whether you're building confidence or tackling technical climbs that have challenged you for years, you'll receive individualized coaching every step of the way.
This clinic is best suited for strong beginners through strong intermediate riders. Group size is limited to just six participants, ensuring personalized coaching, individualized feedback, and plenty of opportunities to practice each skill. Any female-identifying rider is welcome.
As one of Arizona Mountain Bike Academy's signature Granite Dells clinics, spaces are extremely limited and expected to fill quickly. Early registration is strongly encouraged.
Morning Skills Session
The day begins with a dedicated skills session in the Granite Dells, where riders will develop the core techniques that create confident technical climbers. Through structured drills, progressive exercises, and personalized coaching, participants will build the foundation needed to ride steep, rocky terrain with greater control, efficiency, and confidence.
Lunch Break
Bring your own lunch and enjoy time with Coach Amo and your fellow riders. This is a great opportunity to ask questions, review techniques, discuss equipment, and connect with other women who share your passion for mountain biking.
Afternoon Trail Session
The afternoon is where everything comes together. We'll head onto the Granite Dells trail system to apply the morning's lessons on real trail features. Under the guidance of Coach Amo, riders will session iconic granite climbs, refine techniques through repetition, and develop the confidence to tackle increasingly challenging terrain.
Our goal isn't simply to help you ride more features during the clinic - it's to leave you with a complete understanding of each skill, a personalized plan for continued progression, and the confidence to return to the Granite Dells ready to ride lines you once thought were out of reach.
