RATE YOUR MOUNTAIN BIKE SKILLS

It's our priority to get you on the right trails so please tell us your riding ability when you book guided trips or lessons.​​

​

We've made some recommendations for each level of skills and you can check out all our services below.

Skills

1
BEGINNER

You can ride a bike. You may even have a very nice e-bike. You love the idea of riding beautiful open spaces enjoying the exercise and the scenery. You are not very comfortable ascending, descending or riding rough terrain and sharp corners. You need basic bike riding skills for safety and having fun exploring on your bike.

​

​​​

CYCLEWAYS trips or LESSONS are perfect for you as well as the special BOBS COVE MTB ADVENTURE if you want to try single track mountain biking with an instructor.

2
EXPERIENCED
BEGINNER

You’ve been riding a mountain bike for a while and you’re most comfortable on smooth single-track and wider, forgiving double-track. You like rides with scenic views; you like both ascending and descending on well-maintained, safe trails. You’re looking for an active but safe mountain bike experience; you’re not into jumps, drops, super steep trails, rock gardens, roots or taking risks on your bike.

​

​CYCLEWAYS are perfect for your current skills. The PEAK to PINOT adventure in our ULTIMATES can be adapted for experienced beginners and the special BOBS COVE MTB ADVENTURE is also great for beginners.

You'll make amazing progress with a LESSON and we can adapt all our trips if you book a CUSTOM TRIP.

3
INTERMEDIATE

You’ve got some experience mountain biking on single-track trails under your belt. You like riding most types of terrain, and you’re comfortable both climbing and descending on single-track trails with smaller technical features such as rocky sections, small drops, and small steep sections. You are looking to take small risks  to improve your skills as a mountain biker.

​​

​​​​​​​

All of our FAVOURITES (except Ben Lomond) and all of the ULTIMATES will be perfect for you. Also some HELI-BIKING trips, SHUTTLES of Coronet Peak, TRANSPORT to Glendhu Bay. LESSONS may just get you to the next level. Checkout our 2+2 SKILLS PROGRESSION for a lessons and trip combo.

EXPERT

Many years experience riding single-track and biking of all sorts of trails. You love steep terrain,  jumps, rock gardens, techy trails, long descents, big ascents and discovering new terrain. Mountain biking is one of your passions and you are ready and confident to do what you love in a new and challenging place. For you, the bigger the challenge, the better.​

​Why limit yourself to Skyline Bike Park when there's so much more to see. Most of our trips can be spiced up for you.

 

We recommend BEN LOMOND ON E-BIKE, and  ULTIMATE GRAVITY HALF DAY, HELI-BIKE PEAK VERT and TRANSPORT to Cardrona, Glendhu Bay and Alexandra.​
