Really...that's the idea of the course; to get comfy on the bike and learn how to handle it. We started with a couple stairs but then they wanted you to ride a full flight by the end of the week. I rode down the full flight of stairs from upper campus to lower campus at RVCC in the MTB police course; and most guys at least tried it. Peer pressure is a bitch. Those shit bikes weight like 35 pounds loaded. I wouldn't want to shoulder them for very long.
