XKIDS MTB trains kids roughly 6–12 on real trails — balance, control, line choice, the full mountain bike skill set. Age-appropriate difficulty. Outside whenever possible.

We ride outside as much as Ontario weather allows. Indoor sessions cover winter and skill drills.
Green flow → blue technical → black features. Riders move up when control is there, not before.
Group rides, not just training. Kids learn from older riders, pace each other, finish together.
The right gear is the first skill. Everyone rides with all of this.
Full-face for features, half-shell for flow — both are fine.
Full-finger, every ride.
Required on blue and up.
Clear lenses or glasses for trail debris.
26", 27.5", or 29" depending on size. Loaners available at first session.
Rides can run 1–3 hours outside.
Four progressions — ride at the level that matches your child today.
Braking control, body position, gear shifts, first green trails.
Cornering, pumping, rolling features. Blue flow trails.
Drops, small jumps, rock gardens, root sections. Confident on blue / mid-black.
Long rides, technical climbs, committed descents. Black-rated terrain.
