HALF & FULL DAY SESSIONS

One-to-one private coaching

Juniors/adults | Beginner to elite

Private coaching is our specialty. Why? Onward coaches understand mountain biking in unparalleled depth.

Our experience at the pinnacle of MTB coaching means we can exclusively tailor sessions for everyone to reach their riding goals.

  • In a private environment, our time is entirely devoted to you. We truly believe this delivers the best value.

  • The best investment in mountain biking - yourself!

  • Make a one-to-two private group - add one extra rider at no additional charge.

  • Available to run at any of our locations.

Note - for first timers/visitors at Queenstown Bike Park, there may be a skill analysis and minimum ability requirements made before hitting the trails. See our FAQ for more info.

Extra riders must have the same ability, fitness level and intentions/reasons for taking the lesson.

  • Our private sessions are structured so they flow simply and effectively.

    • Introduction and safety briefing (15 mins).

    • Warm up on bikes (30 mins).

    • Instruction and practice (1.5 hours for half day, 3 hours full day)

    • Lunch break on full day lessons - 1 hour (its a big day!)

    • Wrap up (15 mins).

    • Times are approximate - this is a guideline only.

    • Got a goal you’re working towards? Let us know and we can tailor the session to your goal.

    • Not sure what to improve? Just want some direction? Let us come up with a game plan for you.

    • Our experience and depth of knowledge allows us to thoroughly analyze your riding.

    • We can quickly prioritize what skills you need to work on to get results - fast.
