MTB Fundamentals for Kids

Kids love learning new skills as well as getting outside and being physical, which is why mountain biking has proven to be so popular with kids!

​

With a sport like mountain biking, the rider's level of skill definitely makes a difference to their fun and satisfaction, the sooner young riders are taught correct basic techniques, the sooner they can start developing new skills and tricks under their own steam. Without this basic toolkit of skills, progress can be very slow and they can soon become frustrated.

​

Our kids fundamentals clinic is designed to be fun and educational for 7-13 year old children who can already ride, pedal and have basic control of a bike. The aim of the clinic is to teach the correct skills for cornering, braking, descending and climbing by teaching body positioning, braking technique, gear selection and pedalling technique.
