 Being married to a female bike ripper, I love these clinics and when my daughter is big enough she will roll into these classes on her stryder like a baller pimp.

 @Longtravel, when my daughter was 16, I sent her to one of the ladies clinics, she already rode, but she enjoyed it so much. She loved it so much, and loves just ripping now.

 Looks like fun. I always get stoked to see someone just start biking or accomplish something new.

 I identify as a female, therefore I can ride with the ladies Wink

 I prefer to liberate myself from the traditional binary gender standards. I identify as an apache attack helicopter.

 As an apache attack helicopter, this post offends me.

 What a cool program. Having been involved in something similar for skateboarding, there is nothing like seeing the face of someone when they learn a new skill, do something for the first time, or accomplish something they didn't think they were capable of. I hope this program finds continued success in shaping a new generation of riders.

 Love the concept, great to have coaches and people to help out. Don't agree with "spotters" catching people... You know who catches me when I fall (and I fall a LOT)..? Dirt. That's who. Don't rob yourself of the experience as learning to fall is just as important as learning how to not fall...

 When I'm clipped in and trying to ride steep and technical climbs at the top of my ability or perhaps even a bit harder, having a spotter or two allows me to give it everything I have with out worrying about twisted knees and bruised ribs. Having a spotter allows me to push my limits and improve my riding much quicker.

 I sent my wife to this class in Ocala. It was a good thing for her and improved her riding. Nice to see ladies stepping it up and learning MTB skills. Mountain biking will change your life.

 Giant bicycles is doing something really really smart here. Why trek and spesh aren't following suit I have no idea.

 Don't just assume that they don't. Trek has their dirt series www.dirtseries.com which my wife attended.

I don't see Specialized on here but I would think they are involved somehow in at least one

Ladies skills clinics are a HOT market right now and all the big brands are on board.

 @Sycip69er: ]
sure, sure. I'll elaborate to clarify:
I'm saying that Giant has REALLY gone whole hog with the marketing straight to women. They Really push the Liv brand almost as if it was its own company. Any time I go to an event, Liv has its own tent/booth. They host far more clinics than any other offering for women. On top of that they market them pretty extensively. The clinics and the vibe on these videos almost makes it feel like its grassroots women helping women in the sport. They picked the right people to lead. To me it almost feels organic, even though its a push from one of the biggest brands. I really feel like Giant, above any other organization or brand is doing it the best. I think the other brands have a way to go if they want in on this largest growing segment. I'm not saying they are absent, just far behind.

 @speed10: Trek was way ahead of the Women's marketing curve 10 years ago. They were the first ones to do a Women's demo tour. Not sure why they've dropped off, but you're right that Giant is pushing it the most currently.
