Evergreen Introduction to Freeride Part 1 Sunday, May 13th - 9:30 AM
Lead instructor: Evergreen Location: Duthie Hill
Want to get those wheels off the ground? Don't want to have to get off and walk over every obstacle in the trail? Join this fun class to learn the fundamentals that will get you started with the freeriding basics. You'll learn to maintain good body position while conquering wheel lifts, obstacles, step-downs and drops. We are gearing this class toward the intermediate rider so you should have some experience on your bike and be comfortable with the basics. If you have questions please email the instructor. This class is for adults and kids 15 and above; we welcome families, individuals and groups.

Plan on 3hrs where we aim to be done by 1pm.

This class will be taught by Mike and Ross.

Class Fees: $65 for Evergreen members. (non-members must purchase an Evergreen membership for an additional $30) An annual family membership is $50. To become an Evergreen member go to the membership page. Or you can purchase one at the time of registration through BikeReg.com. (See below)

Class Sign-up Instructions: **Note** - You will be registering for this class in TWO places! Once with BikeReg.com (see the link in Step 1) to collect the class fee, and once on this website so that your name is in our class roster system. We understand this is a little confusing, but it is necessary due to limitations in our current web system.

Step 1: Visit BikeReg.com to pay and register for the class. (there is the option to purchase a membership during the registration process)
Step 2: Click on the link below to sign-up on this website. When you get to the payment options choose "Mail Check". You do not have to mail a check since you've paid through BikeReg but this will allow you to finish the sign-up process on this site.
Step 3: If you've completed both Step 1 AND Step 2 - congratulations! You are now signed up for the class!

**IMPORTANT:** If you have NOT registered through BikeReg.com then you are not registered for this class.
