Genuinely improving kids’ bike handling

Our weekly term-long program will focus on teaching kids how to ride properly – safely and smoothly with full control – while having fun and making friends. Building skills, confidence and enjoyment on the trails will be top priorities.

Carefully formulated

Our kids MTB skills programs are designed to get riders progressing through a series of key skills and trail types. This is more than just babysitting on bikes. All of our head coaches are parents and all of our staff are qualified and highly experienced rider-coaches, with first aid training and WWCVP cards. We use refined and proven methods to teach safe and effective bike handling, so children can simply enjoy their riding regardless of ability and their specific riding discipline.

What if COVID-19 restrictions are put in place?

If restrictions are put in place, like lock-down, that prevent us from running sessions or prevent riders from participating, we’ll offer alternative sessions for riders to move to. Or, if preferred, issue full refunds (including card fees) for any sessions missed.
