Aimed at young riders aged 10-14, our Youth Academy looks at developing stable technique in more detail. From the tracks that we ride in the Tweed Valley, to the skills that we cover, this is a step up from our Little Rippers course.
Youth Academy takes place over three consecutive afternoons and looks at everything in more detail for an older age group. We cover body position, corners, jumps, drops and technical trails and also look at fundamental skills like manuals and bunny hops.
Choose Youth Academy if your kid is aged 10 or over, they’re comfortable riding red trails at a minimum and they want to feel stable and confident on their bike.
