October 19 @ 4:15 pm – December 14 @ 5:45 pm AEST
Genuinely improving bike handling
Our weekly term-long programs focus on teaching young riders 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 junior 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 mature adults, experienced with children, fully 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.
