Overview

This 2-day Rad and Flow Rider program is designed to help kids develop the fundamental skills of mountain biking. Each session is carefully structured to ensure that skills are learned progressively, making it essential for riders to attend both consecutive sessions.

Rider Levels / Rider Grouping System

Our new rider levels system focuses on bike setup, confidence, riding experience, and skill level, replacing the previous age-based grouping. Age will still be a guideline, but it will no longer be the main factor for group placement. More details on rider levels can be found here, along with a pictorial glossary for bike setup and relevant terms. If you’re unsure about where your rider fits, feel free to get in touch for assistance.

Session Structure

Each session is designed to progress your child’s fundamental mountain biking skills, focusing on position, balance, and control efficiency. Sessions include fun group activities to build essential skills and confidence, while plenty of trail time in the Spring Gully MTB trail network helps solidify the learning. As skills improve, riders will gradually access more challenging terrain over the 2 days.

The extended 3-hour sessions include a BYO snack break around 11:30am, followed by nature-based activities to help riders recoup energy before hitting the trails again in the second half of the session. Groups will be formed based on our rider levels, with a coaching ratio of 1:6 to ensure safety and personalised feedback.
