Hi all,

Last year, Whistler's Sugoi Dirt Series visited Oregon for the first time,

holding a mountain bike skills clinic in Hood River. The response was so

great and the camp such a success that they are returning to Oregon to hold

two camps in 2005. The details are below.

Cheers,

Paul

In the past four years, the coaches of the Sugoi Dirt Series women's

technical mountain bike camps have given hundreds of women new skills and

confidence on their bikes. They have passed along the experience and

techniques developed in the course of winning Canadian National

Championships, X-Games and World Championship medals.

This year, the Dirt Series has planned two camps in Oregon: a weekend camp

in Portland July 2-3, hosted by The Bike Gallery and a one-day camp in Hood

River hosted by Mountain View Cycles on July 5. These two groups of riders

will get to experience the personalized skills instruction, flexible group

rides, and super supportive environment that make the Sugoi Dirt Series the

best place to learn.

Each camp's format includes a mix of intensive skill sessions to develop and

perfect technical skills, followed by group rides to put those skills into

practice. The Sugoi Dirt Series' first-ever visit to Portland will offer

campers a full day's instruction and skills practice on Saturday, followed

by a chance to try out those new skills riding at Tillamook State Forest all

day Sunday. In Hood River, the riders will enjoy a morning of skill sessions

in Jackson Park and will then have the afternoon to play on the trails of

Post Canyon.

The program also dedicates time to bike fit and maintenance, and offers a

host of opportunities to demo new gear, including the latest in

full-suspension bike technology from Rocky Mountain. Each day, campers will

be treated to great lunches to refill after the fun and exertions-Chipotle

is supplying the lunches in Portland while Subway has signed on as the

sponsor in Hood River.

With a limit of 36 riders per camp, the participant to coach ratio never

exceeds 6:1. The range of skills taught covers everything from the

fundamentals of correct body positioning, shifting and braking, to advanced

maneuvers such as wheelie drops, bunny hops and manuals. The Sugoi Dirt

Series coaches are world class and the small camp size ensures that every

rider gets the individual attention and personal feedback that they need to

progress.

Based in Whistler, BC, the Series began with three camps and the simple goal

of getting more women excited about the sport. Since then, it has grown by

leaps and bounds every year. Its 2005 schedule features a total of 19 camps

in four states and two Canadian provinces.

Exact camp details and registration information can be found at

The Sugoi Dirt Series is presented by Rocky Mountain and supported by

PowerBar, Nokian, Fox Racing Shox, Syncros, Hoots, Deuter, Carrera Eyewear,

Lake, Giro, WTB, Pedros, Timbuk2, Brave Soldier, Sole Custom Footbeds,

Kryptonite, Sea to Sky Ford, Red Bull, Sleeman Breweries and Kicking Horse

Coffee.
