July 13, Day 1: Next Level Jump/Drop Camp

By the end of the day, riders will be ready to dominate any bike park with newfound confidence and skill.

July 14, Day 2: Next Level Enduro Camp

Riders will delve into the skills needed to conquer enduro lines at high speeds. The camp emphasizes technical skills required for navigating large rollers, natural drops, and rugged terrain. As participants refine their techniques, they’ll gain the speed and confidence to leave their riding buddies trailing behind on New England’s toughest trails.
