Youth Weekend Programming

coming spring 2025

Our youth programs are the entrance for many young riders getting into the sport of mountain biking. It all begins with our coaches creating positive experiences out on the trails. 

With gradual skill progression and safe and fun guiding, our goal is to equip young riders with the fundamentals that they need to be safe, strong, and confident riders.

Suitable for beginner through intermediate riders ages 6-7 years. Riders are grouped into pods of 4-5 based on their age and ability level, and friends they want to ride with. 

Each ride is part on trail lesson, part guided ride. Our coaches progress their riders through the 6 core MTB skills, over the course of the program. We strive to create a fun, safe, and supportive environment for young riders to build their courage and confidence. Small groups ensure individual attention and feedback. 

Our coaches are PMBIA and FA certified, and bring years of riding and instructing experience to each guided ride. Our priorities out on the trails are always: safety, fun, and learning. Through a combination of individual and group feedback, we make sure that each rider is being met where they're at, and taught the skills they need to thrive on their bike.
