| okay, this is probably a totally stupid question, but what exactly do you learn at a dirt jumping clinic?

It's a clinic on how to approach jumps correctly, how to handle your bike should you get airborne and how to land it safely. :-)
and such and such.

Quite honestly something like a freeride bike would be best, or something with a fairly slack head angle or something you can get the seat lower than the handlebars with.
Personally I prefer a dual suspention because it lets you make mistakes and still stay upright! :-)

| Well, I suppose you could use the Fair Lady, but only if you wear a cape!
