About Us

Trailhead Coaching specialises in MTB skills coaching for all. Our programs are designed for riding progression, safety and fun!

Our internationally certified coaches are mentored by Trailhead Coaching founder Jo Wall (who trains and certifies coaches in Australia). Professional, dynamic and community focused – owned and operated by women, driven by professional industry standards and up-to date teaching content.

Our programs and sessions cater for those starting their off-road riding journey through to advanced riders with options for group and private coaching – all tailored for each rider’s ability and goals. We support all riders and their families/communities regardless of gender, identity, cultural background, age or ability. We offer women’s, men’s and mixed gender group options.

Based on Dja Dja Wurrung Country in Central Victoria we have access to a range of terrain: cruisy trails for gravel goodness; natural rocky singletracks in Castlemaine and Bendigo; bike park terrain including berms, granite slabs, features and jumps at La Larr Ba Gauwa Mountain Bike Park in Harcourt.

Come ride with us!

Trailhead Coaching is committed to the dismantling of barriers to participation in mountain biking.

We acknowledge that we work and ride on the traditional lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung people. We pay respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island People. Our deepest appreciate goes to those maintaining and sharing (despite the ongoing barriers) culture, knowledge and country – the waterways, sky, land, animals and people provide deep learnings and opportunity for healing. We welcome all First Nations people and their families who want to get involved in our programs – please reach out if there are barriers to your participation. We are dedicated to our ongoing cultural learning including how to be respectful custodians of the land on which we ride.

We are passionate about community - including riding with our own and other families as well as being active and contributing members of our local mountain bike clubs.

Our definition of individuals, families and community includes all people regardless of gender identity or expression (cis gender, non-binary and all LGBTQIA+ people). We acknowledge our current rainbow families participating in our programs and welcome new families to join.

* rainbow family includes LGBTIQA+ people.

* non-binary includes gender fluid, gender queer, agender, bigender, trans masculine, trans feminine.

* cis or cis-gender (pronounced ‘sis’) refers to a person whose gender is the same sex recorded at birth.

Our Testimonials

Best party ever

Trailhead coaching facilitated a 1.5 hour MTB trail party for our 6 year old's birthday. He said it was the "Best party ever". The session included teaching the children about their bikes, a facilitated bike ride in wonderful bush terrain, as well as a treasure hunt. I witnessed the children's enthusiasm and joy during the party. The facilitator provided a safe, inclusive and fun bike riding experience.

Jo at Trailhead offers a detailed, professional and personalised coaching experience. It’s clear from the outset there is a lot of passion and love for mountain bike and being able to help people improve their skills. Coaching is certainly not just for people who are new to the sport, I’ve been riding for a long time but very quickly learnt some actionable adjustments and skills that will improve my riding in a big way. Highly recommended!

Jo’s been a brilliant teacher, with lots of fantastic tips and tricks to help drive home the theory while making sure I have plenty of homework between sessions. It’s cost me less than the carbon handlebar that’s on my bike, but already it’s delivered a far bigger improvement to my riding.

Sign of a great coach when they can make you think “How do I already do that?” followed by “How can I do it better?” Great demos, explanations that catered to the individual & group, lots of laughs with rad women riders and loved the grins on everyone’s faces as they each nailed that final descent

Wow….just wow….I had the absolute pleasure to spend a few hours absorbing Jo’s expertise….as a very inexperienced but eager rider she was clear and kind and easy to understand…..she has a great ability to make things simple and boy do her tips work! I left the day with so much confidence and an wealth of knowledge that I know has not even scratched the sides… 24 hours later I could take that knowledge and put it to practice on my own tracks and I am so excited and proud of what I was able to achieve….Thank you so much!!!
