Rider ability & program difficulty levels

Adult Programs

This is where it all starts. For riders who have very little riding experience and who want to learn to ride more confidently. These sessions focus on the fundamental elements of all the skills to help riders ride with more confidence, awareness and technique. These are the essential skills to take to the trails as riders are introduced to the trails gradually.

Level 2 (L2):

Ready to learn more bike handling skills to ride more confidently? This level is great for riders who are ready to get more out of their riding, break some bad habits and see the more challenging trails on the North Shore.

Ideal for graduates of our Level 1 course or have taken a camp or lesson somewhere before. This level is also good for people wanting to develop a more complete skill-set to ride the North Shore.

Level 3 (L3):

This level is about taking your riding to a more advanced skill set. Be ready to be challenged by skill progressions, bike handling skills and line selection.

If you can ride pretty much all of the North Shore trails and are looking to put the pieces together, then this is the level for you. These programs are designed to give you the added insight to take your riding to the next level. Advanced application of skills, faster paced rides, faster paced teaching and progressions. Are you ready for the next step?

Youth Programs

This is where it all begins. Level 1 is for riders who have little or no trail riding experience but are excited to learn to ride more confidently. Riders learn some essential skills to take to the trails and are gradually introduced to more challenging terrain.

Level 2 (L2):

You've got some experience riding off road trails but bumps, roots and steeper terrain are still pretty scary. You're ready to learn some more advanced bike handling skills to ride more confidently. This level is great for riders who are ready to progress to new levels and discover new trails on the North Shore.

Level 3 (L3):

If you can ride pretty much all of the North Shore trails and are looking to take the next step as a rider, then this is the level for you. You're comfortable with steep terrain, roots and rocks and stunts but haven't figured out how to clean some really challenging sections. Wheel lifts are no problem and roll downs and drops are fun challenges you enjoy. You will be challenged with harder trails, new skills and a faster pace.
