AGES

  • This program is tailored to riders aged 12-16. If you have a younger or older rider that would be a good fit, we are flexible on the age range, but contact us first!
  • Riders must be at a minimum of Level 3 on our Youth Skill Level Guide.

PROGRAM DETAILS

  • Each individual session is 2 hours long and we will be working with riders to develop the fundamental techniques for jumping. Our professionally trained and certified coaches will work with each rider to ensure that they can jump and land safely while being consistent in the air. Riders will also have ample opportunity to practice and progress to larger jumps under professional supervision. 

  • Participants will get to spend time at a renowned bike park, challenge themselves and walk away with new skills that they can use both on the trail and other local bike parks.

Here's what we want your child to take away from the program:

  • Riders will learn the fundamental skills required for jumping their bike.
  • Participants will be taught how make smart decisions when trying jumps for the first time and how to execute them with confidence. 
  • Riders will be introduced to bike park etiquette and how to remain safe when the parks are busy. 

PREREQUISITES

  • Participants must have a well tuned and properly fitting bike. Dirt oriented tires are necessary. BMX bikes are ok. If you are bringing a mountain bike, we recommend disc brakes.
