VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY!

The Youth Mountain Bike Program is always looking for great people who enjoy working with kids, keeping them safe, and ensuring they're having fun.  If this is you or you know of someone who may appreciate this opportunity contact Kelley Linnan (Program Director) via email

Beginner

This program is geared towards children (ages 6 or older), including those who have little or no experience off road biking. Through instruction and level progression, we will work with the children to become more comfortable and confident on their bicycle in an off-road setting.

This lesson program is designed for children (ages 6 or older) who have their own bicycle and bike helmet. They don’t need a “mountain bike” specific bike as any dirt bike or non-road specific bike will work. We start with the very basics of trail riding on the East Side of Blackhawk and will progress to riding beginner mountain biking trails. The students will be able to progress at their own pace in a safe environment.

Cost:  $85.00 per child for an 6-week lesson block.  This fee will include instruction and a Blackhawk Mountain Bike customized gift.

Intermediate

This program is geared towards children (ages 8 or older) who have some off-road biking experience or regularly ride a bike around at home. Through instruction and level progression, we will work with the children to become more comfortable and confident on their bicycle in an off-road setting.

This lesson program is designed for children (ages 8 or older) who have their own bicycle and bike helmet.  A "mountain bike" specific bike with gears, while not required, is recommended. We start with the very basics of trail riding on the East Side of Blackhawk and will progress to riding intermediate mountain biking trails. The students will be able to progress at their own pace in a safe environment.

***We will accommodate all skill levels for this lesson plan. We will challenge the more experienced bike riders and start from the very beginning of off-road with those new to the off-road setting.***

Cost:  $85.00 per child for an 6-week lesson block.  This fee will include instruction and a Blackhawk Mountain Bike customized gift.
