Family Fundamentals Coaching Sessions

A family riding down a sandy bridleway

Bring the whole family along to learn how to ride off-road with skill and confidence

If your kids have already had a go at riding off-road, perhaps on a school trip or holiday, we'll take their new found enthusiasm for all things rooty and rocky and teach them how to ride off-road in safety and with skill and confidence.

Our highly experienced coaches will take you all through the basics of riding off-road, get you moving confidently on the rough stuff and give you loads of advice on where to ride and with what equipment.

Aziz and I enjoyed every minute of our weekend. I was amazed at the way he rode straight down that steep section without even pausing. I'm sure his confidence was down to your coaching: we could not have wished for a better, more patient or more encouraging coach

Specialized Hotrock

The Specialized Hotrock is built like an adult mountain bike with double butted tubing, grip shift 7-speed transmission and v-brakes. It is grown-up bike technology that's perfect for junior trail masters looking to hit the trails.
