Endurofit is teaming up with Erik Tonkin of Sellwood Cycle Repair and his CX clinic team of coaches to create and post video clips of key CX skills shot at the Alpenrose CX clinics in Portland, OR this month.

These clips will demonstrate proper technique and contrast it to some of the more common mistakes made when learning and racing cyclo-cross. The goal is to help those who attended the clinic as well as anyone interested in improving their skills an additional teaching tool to help them continue to work on what they learned and what they need to improve their CX game.

Check back at the end of the month to view these video training tips. Sign up for our newsletter to stay informed about this and other events, offerings and training information.
