Junior Holiday MTB Coaching in Sheffield, Manchester & Sherwood Pines

  • Are you looking for MTB coaching for young riders from 7 years upwards?
  • Do you want to help your child improve their riding skills while having a great time on the bike?
  • Would your teenage mountain biker benefit from coaching in advanced jumping & descending skills?

My junior MTB skills courses help to improve jumping skills, descending skills for all disciplines. As well as the MTB fundamentals to ride confidently & safely.

MTB skills coaching is run from Grenoside Woods & Parkwood Springs, Sheffield & Farmer Johns Bike Park, Marple. All sessions are coached by me, Michael Guilford with assistance from Martin Bernstein.

There are three courses, Beginners, Jumping & Flow & Race Skills & Descending. Its important you book on a course at the correct level. Most young riders overestimate their ability!

  • Beginners- For riders who are new to riding graded MTB trails. (less than 1 years experience).
  • Jumping & flow – For riders who are experienced in riding blue & red graded trails. Or competent BMX racers/riders. And who’ve had coaching before. (this session also caters for advanced riders)
  • Race Skills & Descending – for intermediate to advanced riders who have had coaching with me before. And have experienced of riding technical natural trails.

The table below gives the dates for the various locations and age groups.
