The Skills Snapshot will be available to parents following the camp, allowing them to share it with their child’s coaches.
Informed by the Skills Snapshot, the Shred Advancement Workshop will see riders engage in various coach-led activities designed to build confidence and enhance skills across fundamental riding skills in all mountain, freestyle, and speed disciplines.
