4 Week Intro to Downhill Mountain Bike Program
Skill-building sundays for young riders
Our 4-week lesson program is designed to build confidence and skills in a fun, supportive setting. Lessons take place in small groups with a 1:3 coach-to-rider ratio, ensuring personalized instruction and lots of progression.
Each session focuses on the core fundamentals of downhill mountain biking: body position, balance, braking, cornering, and navigating different terrain types and features. Riders will get access to our new Skills Park, a perfect spot to build control and confidence before hitting the trails.
All lessons are taught by experienced instructors, certified at a minimum of GSMBC Level One.
