background: I've been riding for only 1 year and have taken other clinics. I took the women's clinic. The difference between Dynamic Cycling beginner course and other clinics (which also had knowledgable instructors) is in the way they teach and then they teach you to APPLY it on actual trails and features. Our coach, Danielle, was not only knowledgable but the way she taught made sense (although Patrick was not our coach, we saw him coach and it was very similar): she explained and demonstrated foundational skills in a way that build on the next skill. Other clinics just explained different skills but didn't build one onto the other. She also then explained the WHY this skill is important and then WHEN you would use this skill. I compare the morning session to walking into Kindergartener and the teacher teaching you how to count and building your skills from counting to addition. Other clinics just started teaching your addition and multiplication with the hope that you will figure out how to count on your own. In the afternoon we all rode in the trail and sessioned features with the instructors help. This was amazing!!! After morning field session, I was more stable went over multiple features I would not have done the day before. I would highly recommend Dynamic Cycling Adventures because their approach is effective and they are just really fun people!
