Redwoods Private
Shuttle Assisted Lessons

It’s a coaching session that uses a private shuttle to maximise downhill laps and focused feedback, so you learn faster with less pedalling.

This is best if you have done some coaching before. Riders from confident intermediate to expert who want more repetitions on corners, drops, braking, and line choice without burning energy on climbs. Check out our private coaching here.

A standard session is just over 3 hours. Expect roughly 5-8 shuttle laps depending on trail length, pace, and coaching stops.

We use Whakarewarewa Forest (Redwoods) trails matched to your goals. Flow corners, controlled drops, and natural tech. Conditions dictate the trails selected on the day for the best learning outcomes for each rider.

Yes. Most riders choose regular bikes since we’re shuttling, but e-MTBs are welcome if you prefer.

A safe, working bike, helmet (and pads if you use them), any medications, water, snacks, and weather-appropriate clothing.

We keep groups small, typically up to 6 riders per coach, so you get frequent, actionable feedback. All bookings are private.

Absolutely. Choose 1:1, small group, or a private group up to 6 riders. We tailor the plan to your goals. Price shown is for 1:1 and then you can bring extra riders along for $80pp
