Why choose the Summer MTB Club?
Because great summer programs should be fun, challenging, supportive, and genuinely developmental.
At SMBA, our coaches are more than experienced riders — they’re mentors, educators, and skilled communicators who know how to help kids build confidence through progression, challenge, and positive experiences on bikes.
Our coaching approach combines skill development, adventure, teamwork, and fun to create an environment where riders feel supported, challenged, and excited to keep growing.
That’s why so many riders return season after season.

WHO IS THIS FOR?
Riding levels
At SMBA, creating the best riding experience starts with grouping riders with similar skill levels, confidence, and trail experience. This helps every rider feel supported, challenged, and able to progress throughout the week.
The riding levels below are designed as a general guide to help families choose the best fit for their child. If you’re unsure which level is most appropriate, our team is always happy to help.
We typically run multiple groups with varying abilities and can often make adjustments once the program begins to ensure riders are placed in the environment where they’ll learn, grow, and have the most fun.
Summer MTB Club rides take place throughout the Alice Lake and Diamond Head trail networks, featuring classic Squamish trails such as Half Nelson, Rollercoaster, Miki’s Magic, Pseudo-Tsuga, and more.

EMERGING BLUE TRAIL RIDERS
Comfortable Riding:
Riders at this level are comfortable riding most blue flow trails in Squamish terrain. Riders may still be developing confidence on more technical blue sections, steeper terrain, and advanced trail features.
Skill Focus
Position and balance, braking control, cornering techniques, trail flow, tabletop jumps, small drops, and building confidence on technical blue trail features.
Stamina
Riders should be comfortable spending multiple hours riding and pedaling on Squamish trails, with regular breaks to refuel and regroup throughout the day.
ADVANCED BLUE & BLACK TRAIL RIDERS
Comfortable Riding:
Riders at this level are confident on blue trails and actively progressing on black terrain. Riders may still be working through more advanced technical sections, steeper terrain, jumps, drops, and challenging trail features.
Skill Focus
Advanced cornering and braking control, technical descending, line choice, trail flow, jumps, drops, rock rolls, and confidently navigating more challenging black-rated terrain.
Stamina
Riders are comfortable riding for extended periods on challenging terrain and maintaining a steady pace throughout longer rides and bigger trail days.
This program is designed for riders with previous trail riding experience, ranging from emerging blue trail riders through to advanced riders progressing on black terrain.
Multiple groups are typically created each week based on rider ability and experience levels.
