Thrills and skills

These kids sessions are aimed at learning and developing skills and techniques used in mountain biking whilst having fun!

The beginner sessions are aimed at teaching core skills on Green and Blue graded runs.

There's so much to learn, from pedalling and braking through textured terrain to changing gears, ascending and descending on easy terrain. You'll know how to manoeuvre safely while avoiding obstacles.

Discover the cone of movement and readying position, where bikers move their weight around while cycling.
