Frequently Asked Questions
We offer Ladies Clinics at three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Beginners work with instructors on their own path tailored to foundational skills. Intermediate and advanced groups often do skill sessions together and may head out to the same trails, though they might ride different sections based on ability.
Even if you and your friend are in different groups, you’ll have many opportunities to connect throughout the weekend! The Friday night Ladies Party is a great time to hang out, swap stories, and celebrate together. Plus, you’ll both meet amazing new friends, build confidence, and progress your skills in the group that’s right for you.
Bottom line: Different skill levels mean you’ll each get the coaching you need to improve, and you’ll still have plenty of time to share the stoke!
After you register, and closer to the event, you can expect to receive a questionnaire that will help us to understand what skill level you are at, and to prepare more relevant skills instruction tailored for you.
Yes. You will learn how to change your thoughts from negative, fear-based thoughts to positive thoughts that keep the wheels moving forward. Whether you are new to mountain biking or an experienced intermediate rider, we will start by reviewing the basics and progress into more focused skills instruction. Progression-focused, we will provide a range of techniques to improve your overall riding confidence!
We recommend you bring a mountain bike that fits you, that you feel comfortable with – AND that has been recently serviced, confirming brakes and all components are in working and safe condition. We always have a demo bikes available from our vendors – pending availability.
Not wanting to bring your own bike? You can rent from the Oakridge Bike Shop AND Westfir Lodge (3 minute walk from MBO festival grounds)
We request no ebikes for the camp, unless necessary.
Helmets are mandatory on all rides at MBO. We require a properly fitted, certified helmet for all participants. The type of helmet you choose is up to you based on your comfort level and the terrain you’re riding.
General Recommendation: Many riders bring both a trail helmet (open-face/half-shell) and a full-face helmet so they can decide what feels right for each ride. Trail helmets are cooler for climbs and mellower terrain, while full-face helmets offer more protection for technical, high-speed descents.
For Advanced Teen Enduro Clinic: Half-shell helmet and knee pads are mandatory as a minimum. Coach Robbie strongly recommends a full-face helmet.
Bottom line: Bring the gear that makes you feel confident and protected on the trails. Safety first, always.
