SUMMARY:BICP Level 1 MTB Certification – Poultney\, VT
DESCRIPTION:BICP MTB LEVEL 1 FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS INSTRUCTOR\nLength: A 3-day course that certifies an individual as a Fundamental Skills Instructor. \nDates: June 26-28\, 2026 (8 am – 6 pm). \nCost: $700 USD + $65 USD BICP Level 1 annual membership. \nA BICP 4-year annual membership plan is required for this certification. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost Information: \nCourtney Behnken courtney@slatevalleytrails.org \nSlate Valley Trails  Director of Operations   slatevalleytrails.org \nCourse Location: \nTrail House – Poultney\, VT \nWe respectfully acknowledge that this course will take place on the traditional territories of Wabanaki (Dawnland Confederacy)\, N’dakina (Abenaki / Abénaquis)\, and Mohican. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT CLOSES June 1\, 2026 \nA minimum enrollment is required. \nThe online prework must be completed two weeks prior to attending this in-person testing portion of the certification. All participants are required to attend a  Zoom call prior to attending the in-person testing portion of the certification. \n\n\n\n\nThe online prework will take approximately 24 hours to complete\, including a quiz after each chapter. \nThis course teaches stability and biomechanics\, teaching strategy\, site selection\, goal setting\, proper demonstrations\, keywords\, progressions\, and error detection for all the Level 1 Fundamental Skills. \nWe require flat pedals in our mountain bike courses because our BICP-certified instructors have trained their feet to be active and engaged\, knowing that if and when they apply these foot/pedal techniques back to their clips\, they will be better riders. \nPro Tip: Flats vs Clips is not an either/or decision – it’s an “and.” When possible\, learn and practice skills in flat pedals so that riders train their feet to engage the pedals. \nIf riders learn skills in flats and then apply the fundamentals of active and engaged feet to their clips\, they will be better riders. By retraining their feet to be dynamic\, their ankles will become more supple and flexible\, which will help their pedaling power and form.
