Little Riders: Home School Mountain Bike Program
Designed for riders ages 6–9ish who are ready to launch their mountain biking journey!
The Little Riders Program is the perfect introduction to mountain biking for younger riders who are eager to build confidence, develop fundamental skills, and experience the fun of riding trails in a supportive, encouraging environment.
This program follows the same progressive curriculum as our Wheels Up Launch Program, combining games, skill development, trail riding, and adventure to help riders develop the confidence needed for future programs such as Home School Level 1, the XCG Development Program, and beyond.
Each class is limited to just 8 riders to ensure personalized coaching and maximum riding time.
