What past Riders   have to say.... 

Drove 2 hours to take part in a one day MTB course, and it was well worth it. Solid coaching, with a focus on fundamentals that will, with practice, yield efficient and safe riding and an improved skillset.

The coaches were knowledgeable, approachable, and the other riders were friendly and positive. It was like riding with friends, even though we'd only just met. Fond memories and I will likely return to take part again.

Harry

Brilliant day with the awesome team at Minii Adventures up at Trail Hub! Can't think of a single thing that could be better. Extremely well organized. Everything happened on schedule. The instructors were knowledgeable, friendly, fun.

 

The way they put everyone in appropriate skill levels was remarkable. Dividing the day between skill training and then riding challenging trails was fun and made sure the lessons stick.

 

And the skill development was 4 REAL. My speed on downhill, my ability to corner and my jumping all made a massive improvement. In one day. And the environment was beautiful. Kudos to the entire team. If you want to raise your game on the trails, do not hesitate. Just sign up and go.

Warren

We can't wait to ride with you!
