We are all at different skill sets with mountain biking so we’ve created comprehensive descriptions for each WOW Rider group and skills clinic.

There’s something for everyone!

What if I don’t have everything?
- Equipment, gear and accessories are collected over time. Don’t sweat it if you don’t have a pump or sport specific clothing.
- Wear what you are comfortable in (not loose / baggy stuff though!) so you can focus on learning.
- Instructors and ride leaders will have spare tools and tubes!
