After School Shredders – Monthly Subscription

Weekly After School + School Holidays – Monthly Subscription – Billed Monthly Ongoing, Cancel at Anytime

All of Bike On’s Mountain Bike Coaching programs are about having fun in a low pressure, supportive and inclusive environment. We aim to develop a life long passion for the joy and excitement of mountain biking by allowing kids to have fun, ride with mates and take their riding to the next level in a progressive manner under the supervision of PMBIA qualified coaches.

Our Shredders after school programs run with multiple coaches at each session and are designed for kids who are starting out on their MTB journey all the way through to advanced riders who want to continue to refine and develop their skills under the supervision of PMBIA qualified coaches.

Locations – During School Term

While there is not a specific age requirement, this program will typically appeal to riders aged 5-17 years of age but other ages are certainly welcomed. Please contact us to discuss prior to booking.

Skill Requirements

This is a Beginner – Advanced Program but all riders must at least be capable of:

• Confidently riding a bike on smooth dirt surfaces
• Stopping a bike using hand brakes without placing feet on the ground
• Be prepared to ride up hills. Please be aware these are group programs. Although we cater to young children, to avoid adversely impacting the groups all participants MUST have the resilience and ability to ride up hills without dismounting and walking.

This program runs in multiple groups, your child will be allocated to a group and coach appropriate for their skill level.

Bike and Equipment Requirements

The bike must be at a standard that is not a safety risk when riding on mountain bike trails. A suitable bike will have:

• Functional hand brakes for both the front AND rear wheels (No foot brakes permitted)
• Correctly adjusted and well maintained gears (Bike must have gears)
• Tires with a reasonable amount of tread
• 20″ wheels or greater (bikes with smaller wheels are highly unlikely to be suitable)
• Well maintained and serviced

The following protective equipment is compulsory for this program:

• A correctly fitted Australian Standards approved helmet – We strongly suggest a full face helmet
• Enclosed footwear – We suggest MTB specific footwear
• Water AND a method of carrying it
• A spare tube that is suitable for your bike

We would also strongly recommend the following protective equipment:

• Full face helmet
• Knee and elbow pads
• Full finger gloves

While bikes do not have to be high end, they must be well maintained and in good working order. All programs come with free bike safety checks, conducted by Bike On, which also includes free basic adjustments (excludes parts and labour costs to fit). We would strongly encourage parents to take advantage of this offer.

Wet Weather, Cancellations and No Shows

In the interest of transparency and to avoid disappointment we’d like to make it clear that all term programs are priced on the assumption that 7 out of 10 weeks will run, however we will run all 10 weeks of term at no additional charges if conditions allow (essentially providing up to 3 free sessions per term and some degree of flexibility for students that skip weeks for various reasons). In normal circumstances, participants will get more than the 7 weeks, in very rare circumstances they may not. In order to ensure space for your child, a booking reserves the space for each week of the term. Low weekly costs are achieved by selling spaces as a term long program and are not possible by selling weekly spots on a casual basis. As with most term or season long group sports, they are not costed to include credits, refunds or alternative classes for weeks missed for any reason.

If you envisage missing the majority of weeks, you may wish to pay the week-by-week casual fee of $75 however this is strictly subject to availability on the week in the group that is suitable for your child. No guarantee of availability of casual spots on any given week are given and availability changes over the term.

In the event of inclement weather (heavy rain, storms etc) we may look to postpone, modify or cancel the session but will attempt to deliver the majority of classes. As a result, we do ride in the rain with due consideration to safety. We will make every effort to deliver all sessions in any given period, but the program pricing assumes that events beyond our control may result in some programs not running. Bike On strictly adhere to capacity numbers for all programs and cannot typically accommodate missed or cancelled sessions by moving kids around between different programs week to week.
