WHAT TO EXPECT
Get started with confidence
We'll start by getting you comfortable on your bike and talking through your experience, goals and anything you're unsure about. Your instructor will then introduce you to the fundamental skills you need to ride safely and confidently.
Learn the basics
We'll work through essential MTB skills such as body position, braking, and bike control. Your instructor will give you plenty of personalised tips and feedback, so you can focus on developing your skills at your own pace.
Put your skills into practice
Once you're feeling comfortable, we'll head out on to some suitable trails for you to practice. This may be grass, gravel, dirt, or Beginner MTB trails. Your instructor will be right there with you, offering guidance and encouragement along the way.
Make the most of your session
With your own coach for the full 2 hours, there's plenty of time to ask questions, practise new skills and get feedback specific to your riding.
You'll finish the session with a better understanding of your bike, more confidence on the trails and the skills to keep progressing.
These sessions can be private 1:1 skills sessions, or get a group of your friends together and enjoy the ride! For group sessions, all riders should be of a similar ability or have similar goals.
The listed session price is for one rider; additional riders are welcome for an additional $33 per person.
