Please do not take your classes into the park unless you have completed and passed the Park SMART clinic. You are putting your students at risk by not educating them on park etiquette.
The Terrain Park Check-off clinic covers:
- Identifying park readiness; recognizing minimum skills and abilities that are necessary before entering the park environment.
- Flow and route finding; identifying safe and appropriate paths through park features and park traffic patterns.
- Park Smart; reviewing the five points and how they can be integrated into every level of lessons.
- Introduction to ATML as a coaching tool; an overview of the Approach, Takeoff, Maneuver, and Landing phases.
This clinic is option/un-paid, so only the clinic leader will be in uniform. You will, however, receive clinic hours credit for attending this clinic.
There are a couple of things you should know BEFORE signing up..
In order to take students into any terrain park (aside from the roller park that is traditionally built on Creekside and the boardercross course), you must successfully complete this clinic by performing the required skills and passing the quiz at the end of the clinic.
This year, instructors will need to perform the two required skills to be considered successful. If you are unwilling or unable to perform these skills, you are still welcome to attend the clinic. The two skills are as follows:
- Straight air over a small jump feature in the terrain park
- 50-50 slide over a small box feature in the terrain park
