Santa Cruz, California

Saturday-Sunday, April 24-25

Over the years this camp's become a hit, something that's especially great because there are few places we love visiting more than Santa Cruz.

Not only do we get to see our friends at Fox Racing Shox and Bell, but the community welcomes the camp with open arms, and the variety of trails makes for some very fun riding.

In the mornings we'll run our on-bike skill sessions on the fields at Harbor High, and in the afternoons we'll head out in a number of different directions, so that each particular participant group gets to apply their new skills on a trail suited to their interests and abilities.

Typically we ride in areas that are close by, such as Delaveaga, on Saturday afternoon, and we venture further, to places like the Soquel Demonstration Forest, on Sunday afternoon. We're actually super lucky because once again we've been able to get a shuttling permit for Demo, so we can spend more time than usual teaching on the trails. New for 2010, we've also partnered with Dave at Out Riding Shuttling to make the logistics easier than ever.

Basically, whether you're into smooth singletrack, bermed corners, technical climbing, rolling drops, small to medium jumps, rock descents or natural log rides, the Santa Cruz camp will be a fantastic way to start the season.
