Mountain biking is a lot like tennis or skiing. Just a few minor  adjustments in technique can make a huge difference in your control  and proficiency. If you want to get better faster, you need to know  the fundamentals of mountain biking technique.  Whether you're just  getting into mountain biking or have been riding for years, you'll  learn some valuable tips from our Introduction to Mountain Biking  skills class that is offered each month. Get all the information here: http://corbamtb.com/programs/skills.shtml
