Red Plus+ Sessions

Red Plus+ MTB Session – Is your child super keen to ride mountain bike trails? Then this session could be just what your looking for!

The Red Plus sessions are aimed at riders who are competent at riding the core skills in mountain biking yet haven’t fully developed the confidence or strength and fitness to ride the most challenging trails found on our ‘Black” grade sessions.

Using technical practices and challenges we’ll allow your child to establish their decision making and risk management strategies whilst in an relaxed outdoor environment. As a group, we’ll explore new trails, rehearse intermediate level skills such as bunny hops, jumping table tops and riding challenging terrain.
We aim to create an environment to prepare the next generation of mountain bike riders and develop a lifelong love of riding outdoors getting covered in mud!

Red Plus+ – Intermediate session’s are aimed at riders who ideally:

• Can ride XC style single track trails containing roots, rock gardens with a mix of gradients.
• Can use their gears and maintain their energy to ride to the top of gradual climbs.
• Prepared to ride in most weather conditions for short periods of time. 
• Understand how to brake and carry momentum in difficult trail conditions.
• Have a basic knowledge of how to fix minor issues with their bike.

Working towards:

• Descending steeper or more technical and challenging terrain.
• Negotiating the most advanced trail features such as drop off’s and gap jumps that are not rollable. 
• Riding almost any trail feature including descending rutted trails or clearing steeper climbs.

*Please note only cancel sessions under extreme weather conditions. Check our Facebook page for updates if you are unsure prior to the session.
