World Champion Greg Minnaar is
teaming up with Gene Hamilton of BetterRide for a three day downhill mountain
bike camp at Northstar Resort in Lake Tahoe, California.  This is an amazing
opportunity to learn from one of the most experienced coaches in the sport and
one of the fastest racers in the world, Greg Minnaar. This is the same camp that
Mitch Ropelato, Naish Ulmer, Graeme Pitts and many other top downhill racers
have taken and raved about but with the addition of Greg Minnaar!  Sign up soon
as this camp limited to 12 riders to ensure the optimal athlete coach ratio and
the Minnaar camp in Bootleg this spring sold out in 6 days!

"I learned
more in this camp than in my entire career to date. The changes to my body
position and cornering have already made me much faster."  Andrew Pierce,
Go-Ride Factory Team  

"My first run down the mountain was on a trail
that I had ridden many times before. Gene was following me half way down (to see
if I was really paying attention) and it was my best run ever!!!  That one run
alone was worth the fee for the clinic, I was so impressed with what I had
learned so far!"  - Norba expert racer Chris Shelley

"After this camp I
now know just what I need to do to have a very successful season and achieve my
goals (his goal was going to the Worlds as a pro in 4x which he has since
qualified for)."  Mitch Ropelato, 2009 US National Champion in pro 4X and Jr.
Cat 1 Downhill at only 17 years old


Designed for downhill racers,
this Downhill Camp focuses on core skills, course inspection, finding the fast
"pro" lines, mental preparation  and FUN.
