 \n\n\n\nThese riders are already comfortable riding a bike on “Green” and may be riding parts of moderately technical “Blue” trails\, and down features\, 4-8 inches high.

They are interested in dropping features up to 12-14” high\, learning to jump\, manual and riding pump tracks or rolling terrain faster\, without pedaling. They can ride 2-4 miles or more on a trail or bike path. \n\n\n\nDuring this class: these riders will continue to improve their balance over varying and more technical terrain\, brake and corner even quicker\, with more exaggerated body movements\, and they can shift gears before it’s too late. They’ll learn to climb\, descend and ride both faster and more slowly with confidence. They’ll and have fun riding technical roll downs and drops 8-10” high – if they want to. The wheels may leave the ground in this class\, after all\, Leapin’ Lizards want to learn how to jump!  \n\n\n\nBike: A Leapin’ Lizard’s bike has platform pedals\, two hand brakes\, a seat that can move up and down\, and is in good working condition. Single speeds are OK but a bike with gears will be more fun on the climbs. No coaster brakes\, kickstands\, baskets\, or fenders.

Please be ready to commit to having your rider attend each day. \n\n\n\nIn partnership with PP&R\, Project^ & Elaine B Bikes\, NWTA is excited to offer these bike skills camps at Oak Street (Laurelhurst Park). \n\n\n\nOak Street at Laurelhurst Park pickup and drop off: park along SE 37th Ave or on SE Oak St. west of 37th.

They can go on short rides (up to .5 mile) with family or friends but might need to be carried for a bit. They can get going and stop on pavement. They may be able to pick up the bike if it falls over\, but they probably need a little help from Mom/Dad/Guardian. They are comfortable riding on pavement and bike paths.  \n\n\n\nTadpoles love to scoot around at their own pace\, sometimes at impressive speeds! They enjoy their balance bike on pavement\, hard-packed trails and varied terrains such as pump tracks and even sizeable rolling features\, curbs and through puddles. They may show no fear but might get upset if things don’t go as planned. \n\n\n\nDuring this class: these riders will improve their balance by looking where they are going and picking up their feet. They’ll learn to paddle up a climb\, coast down and have fun rolling over smooth\, flowing features. \n\n\n\nBike: A Tadpole’s bike is a balance bike or it may have pedals (ideal) or foot pegs. It may have a hand brake and is in good working condition with NO training wheels. Single speeds and kick stands are OK. A Tadpole’s helmet fits properly\, is in good condition and is less than 5 years old.  \n\n\n\nRequired Gear:  \n\n\n\n-A balance bike in good working condition.  \n\n\n\n-A properly fitting helmet in good condition and is less than 5 years old*  \n\n\n\n-Water bottle and snacks \n\n\n\n-Clothing appropriate for the weather \n\n\n\n-Pack to carry layers\, snacks and water \n\n\n\nRecommended Gear: \n\n\n\n-Full fingered gloves \n\n\n\n-Knee and elbow protection \n\n\n\n-Eye protection \n\n\n\n*We have helmets and may have bikes to loan!
