Mountain bike lessons are the best way to confidently take your riding to the next level. We break riding down to bite size pieces so that it is easy to understand and is super low stress.

We are continually helping riders gain new MTB skills to get the most out of their bike, their time, and trails on offer! Check out our range of mountain bike skills videos below to get a taste of what we work on with you – ranging from basic skills to advanced technique on the most technical terrain for both MTB and eMTB. Round up some friends and get in touch to book a private lesson in Rotorua and call +64 22 600 6562.
We offer gift vouchers for people who are looking at getting something meaningful for a friend, family member, or workmate. Gifting an experience can be seen as a more meaningful gift than a material item.
Experience gifting is when you give someone a gift that is a life experience or adventure rather than a material item. It is a ‘doing’ gift. More and more, people are turning away from mindless consumerism and opting instead for experiences that will enrich their gift recipients, inspire them and teach them. Ultimately, experience gifts leave your gift recipient with wonderful memories that they can look back on.
As one of the fundamental MTB skills that we cover, we will teach you how to descend with more confidence. Whether you are trying to get down the gnarly stuff or are just out for casual mountain bike rides and want to feel more in control of your bike – We have you covered! With the correct body position, your confidence will soar! Your stability will increase so that you can relax more, your control will get better as your bike and body start to move independently of each other, you will look super stylish as you ride new trails with more skill and awareness.
Check out the video to see an example of basic body position or check out our blog about it here!
Until you know how to use your brakes confidently, you are not going fast where you can go fast, and slow down or stop when you need to. With our braking sessions we transform your braking so that you are more confident on the trail and brake only when you need to. Dragging your brakes will be a thing of the past once you know how they work properly! Braking is an essential part of mountain biking and it is a skill that you want to be really good at. Check out this blog post or our video to get an idea of how to get more out of your brakes!
Using our gears is one thing – but what is commonly overlooked is what our cadence should be and how to get there. This will help us get the most out of our mountain bike rides. We generally identify those who will benefit from a little exercise so that they can feel what a good cadence is all about. This one doesn’t ever take more than a few minutes to master the skill but then it makes a huge difference to the distances that we can cover in a day!
POP is a beautiful thing! How to jump a mountain bike is one of those things that we all start to just do without necessarily knowing how or why. Teaching jumping will give you better understanding of skills like pressure control, understanding and the ability to keep your wheels on the ground if you want to or boost into the air if that is what you are wanting to achieve! A good tradesman never blames his tools – learn how your bike gets airborne and be more stable in the air! It is a very common question, how do I do jumps on my mountain bike?
How to ride drops whether they are big or small – slow or fast – mellow or huckable. We have some tips to build your skills and ride them in control!
We give safe progressions and have taught hundreds of riders this awesome technique to not only ride drops, but be in control for the piece of trail right after the landing. Progress safely, confidently, and with some expert advice with a MTB lesson – but don’t forget to check out this video where Chickens and Mountain Bikers work together to tackle rollovers into drops!
