PASBX is designed for riders committed to snowboardcross training. Specific attention is given to each athlete in designing and implementing a realistic competition schedule to maximize performance and improve points.  Coaches will focus on isolating and enhancing the various skill sets needed to excel in SBX. All aspects of SBX racing are addressed including elements of freestyle, gate training, physical conditioning, video review, mental preparation, technical ability, tactical development and equipment preparation.
