Protown BMX Clinic
Can you imagine being a basketball player and having the opportunity to train and practice with NBA's own Kobe Bryant? What about a football athlete and throwing passes or asking advice from NFL Superstar Peyton Manning? Well with the Protown BMX Clinic thats exactly what we are doing. You will be able to work together with Top BMX Freestyle Professionals and be right in the middle of the action. There is NO other town set up like Greenville NC having Professional Riders that you can work with. Don't Miss OUT!!!
Who we are:
We are a Professional Team of BMX Freestyle Riders that want to encourage, educate and help progress riders and individuals new to the sport.
What it is:
It is a clinic for people of all ages, who may be new to bmx freestyle that want help with getting started or for experienced riders that want help taking their riding to the next level!!
What we do:
We offer a 6 week clinic that will support your bike riding skills and greatly enhance your abilities. We will have one on one coaching that will cater to each person specifically. You will be able to ask the Pro’s specific questions and get help with specific tricks. We will have groups, so participants will meet others with similar skills/age and begin to cheer on each other. We will offer safety education, bike maintenance, many how to’s and trick tips including using the different ramps, and general skate park etiquette, spread out between the different clinics. We will also educate on how contests work, how to put a run together including flow and trick difficulty, and have a clinic contest on the 7th week with top prizes and awards.
What is needed:
We need a participant, a bike, and a willingness to learn. Participants can range is age, but they need to be able to ride a bike and not use training wheels, as they won't roll on the ramps. We cater to ALL ages and YES, we can teach an old dog new tricks!! Any bike will do for clinic 101, but prefer a BMX type bike with 2 pegs. We may have some pegs available too. So PLEASE, don't feel as though you have to go out and buy all this stuff yet. We will see how the participant does with the clinics and can always upgrade from there. We are also working with some local sponsors for clinic participants to get some special pricing on bikes and gear. We may also have some of the newest demo bikes available to try out at some of the clinics. Remember, we are Pros, and although BMX bikes have evolved to tailored machines, we learned on some of the basic bikes of our day.
Registration:
Number of participants will be strictly limited. Now registering for Fall Clinic 101 beginning Sept 11. It will be on a first come, first serve basis. Those taking previous Clinic and wanting to retake will have priority. We will also be hoping to offer an advanced clinic and will invite individuals ONLY based on Clinic 101 performance. Advance Clinic may feature other locations in Greenville and include foam pits, resi ramps and vert half pipe. Clinic 101 will feature an 6 week course, starting on Sept 11th and ending on Nov 13th with a contest, as we will be taking several dates in between for events already scheduled. Fall Clinic schedule will be Sept 11, 25, Oct 9, 23, 30th, Nov 6th, 13th. Clinics will be on Saturday mornings from 9am-12. We will have a few catered lunches provided by local sponsors. The skate park will be closed exclusively for our clinic during this time.
Fees:
Registration for Clinic 101 will be $250 for the 6 week course with contest on the 7th week. Pre- registration is strongly suggested, as we will limit on site sign up. This will cover all instruction for the session, all rider fees, T-shirt, water bottle, sponsor goodies, and contest entry fee/prizes. You can sign up for individual sessions at $50/session. We recommend registering for the whole clinic of 6 as sessions build on the previous, and will not be able to go over past instruction. Participants registering for the whole course or multiple sessions will have priority over those signing for 1 session. Also those that sign up for the whole Clinic or at least 4 sessions, will be the ONLY ones that can ride the contest at the end!! Safety equipment, especially helmets, and knee pads are required.
