Summer 2024-2025 Holiday Programs and Term One 2025 After School Program NOW LIVE

Hi everyone,

Even more simply AMAZING PROGRESS by the kids over this year, and we are excited to launch our Term One 2025 After School Program and our Summer Holidays program.  Please note that ALL SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAM bookings are 100% refundable if cancelled due to rain (SCROLL DOWN half a page for a full calendar).  We are based in Nelson, New Zealand and blessed with over 400kms of singletrack within  a 45 minute drive of the centre of town so lets get those kids out riding and improving their skills and confidence.

GET IN QUICK! Term One After School 2025 BOOKINGS NOW OPEN.

With the success of the earlier bookings for Term Three and Term Four in 2024,  we would love it if parents can continue that trend, it makes forming the groups a lot easier.  Remember we have enabled the 50% now, balance before we start coaching option, but the BALANCE MUST BE PAID BEFORE COACHING STARTS on 10th of Feb.   Please take a moment to look through everything we are offering and jump to those booking links!

As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, or pass on this information to other friends and family who might not be on our exclusive email list.

After School MTB Coaching Programs

For Term One 2025 After School Mountain Bike Coaching programs I suggest parents “assume” that their kids will end up in pretty much the same day/time slots as Term Three, UNLESS YOU NEED TO CHANGE, in which case include notes about this in the booking form.   We will finalise groups in the last week of January.  As always the booking link takes you to a PLACEHOLDER date, fill in the details there, and then we will allocate the groups.

Note that we will have a new group for 7/8 year olds, so please get in touch if you want them to join us.  We will also begin to offer a couple of Silvan Mountain Bike Park coaching slots, so if you are interested in this please note it on your booking form.

Summer 2024/25 School Holidays.

We have a full team for most of the school holidays, Alistair, John, Ben, Lennard and a number of assistants will be here to look after your kids in the school holidays with the usual exciting combo of different activities available.

“Mentored Mondays”: this is a great opportunity for kids to ride their mountain bikes to a slightly more advanced trail than they usually do under supervision of coach Ben, and with lots of coaching around “how to make good decisions when scouting harder tracks”.  Minimum of FOUR kids of around the same level required.  This is cheap as chips at only $60 for roughly three to four  hours of supervised riding and mentoring.

Gravity Skills Camps, this is the big version of the Sendy Sundays we have been holding.  SIX HOURS of supervised awesomeness at the Field of Dreams plus snacks and sausages! Suitable for kids of all ages, and a great way for parents to keep the kids out of their hair from 10am-4pm on a school holiday day.  Cost is $100, but after your 3rd session just ask for a discount code to go for half-price. Over 20 drops of different heights, two airbags, and a mulch jump plus experienced coaches means the progression is off the charts on mountain bike drops, jumps, tricks, cornering, body position and more.  We will also have our tiny swimming pool open for a dip to cool down on hot summer days. Kids will also be encouraged to help out with some trail maintenance and building new features.  Minimum of SIX kids to make a session happen. Check out a few videos from previous sessions (before we had two airbags!):
