Mountain Biking Camps

About the Camps:

Join certified stuntman, former downhill racer, and certified MTB instructor, Phil Fotopoulos in these exciting camps.  Please call Phil at 845.490.9134 before registering if you’re unsure of skill level.

Beginner: This class is for those who can pedal a bike and who are looking to get started riding beginner MTB trails (green).  Participants will work on braking/control, pedaling and pedal positioning, bike/body separation, body positioning, and bike set up.

Intermediate: Students will work on progressing all beginner skills and how to navigate intermediate or blue trails.  Focus is on technique, cornering, and how to approach obstacles and features.

Advanced: This level is for participants who can navigate blue (intermediate) trails easily and some black (advanced) trails.  Students must have a proper mountain bike; hydraulic brakes are recommended.  Focus is on weighting and unweighting front and rear tires (wheelies), jibs, jumps, skinnies, rollers, and rock gardens.  This class will refine skills and take their riding to the next level.

Required: a helmet, comfortable riding attire, good shoes (biking or flat soled sneakers) and a mountain bike with off road or hybrid tires and brakes.

Recommended: eye protection, gloves, shin/knee guards, a snack and water.
