IS THIS PROGRAM RIGHT FOR YOUR RIDER?
BEFORE YOU BOOK
These are advanced ride groups. To get the most out of them and to keep everyone safe, riders need to meet the ability requirements below.
RIDER IS READY:
Rides single black (grade 5) trails with good technique, control and speed - not just getting down them, but riding them well.
e.g. Armageddon, El Gato, Bubba, KY
Multiple seasons of bike park experience - they know Skyline, they're comfortable in the park environment and around lifts.
On a full suspension bike - downhill bike preferred, enduro is fine. Hardtails are not suitable for this program.
Aged 10–14 and able to commit to weekly after-school sessions for the full term.
Motivated and coachable - ready to be challenged, take feedback and work on specific skills, not just ride laps.
NOT SUITABLE IF…
Still building confidence on grade 4 trails - comfort on grade 5 is a firm requirement, not a goal for the program.
New to bike parks or with limited Skyline experience.
Doesn’t have the right equipment
Unable to commit to a full term schedule. Consistency across sessions is how the structured program delivers results
NOT SURE IF YOUR RIDER IS READY?
Contact us before booking - Please be honest with where your rider is at. We'd rather have a quick conversation than the wrong rider on the wrong program.
