Krank Factory 101: Kick up some dust on awesome trails this spring! This course will introduce kids to the fundamentals of mountain biking, including body positioning, balance, gearing, and basic obstacle riding. The first session will be spent on a local Calgary trail where kids will learn where they can ride for free all summer long. The last three sessions will be on Kananaskis trails.

Krank Factory 201: Ready to Ride? This intermediate course allows kids to brush-up on their current riding skills, and get out to experience the real thing. The first session will be spent on a local Calgary Trail and the following sessions are spent in the mountains, mastering the skills of balance, gearing for hill climbing, cornering, and obstacle riding. From the diverse trails of Bragg Creek to the skills parks of Canmore, trails reflect the transition between cross-country and freeride skill development.
