The best session depends on your age, confidence, riding experience and goals. Very-new and beginner riders usually start with an 'Intro To' or Beginner skills session. Riders who already ride green and blue trails may suit Pre-intermediate or Intermediate-level coaching. Riders confidently riding black trails may suit Advanced coaching or specialised jumps/drops sessions. If you are unsure, please RideCraft MTB before booking and we can help place you in the right session. Contact: bike@ridecraftmtb.com.au or 0439 563 308

Yes, confidence is a major part of mountain bike progression and RideCraft MTB can help you build confidence and overcome your fear. RideCraft MTB coaching focuses on developing skills, mindset, safe decision-making and gradual progression so riders can feel more in control on the trail. This is especially useful for riders who feel nervous on corners, descents, technical terrain, jumps, drops or loose surfaces.

Lesson lengths vary depending on the session type. Private lessons, group sessions, school holiday programs, and guided rides may all run for different lengths of time. Private sessions and guided rides can be booked for either 2-hours or 3-hours. We recommend that junior coaching sessions for riders under 12 are kept to 2-hours, as any longer can be too difficult for young riders. Each booking page lists the session duration.

Yes. RideCraft MTB offers gift certificates for mountain bike coaching and guided rides. A RideCraft gift certificate is a good option for riders visiting Bright, kids who love mountain biking, women wanting to build confidence, or experienced riders who want to progress their skills.
