Ride dirt.
Shift gears.
Be epic.
MTB School is not just a mountain biking school – it’s a playground of confidence, adventure and pure joy on two wheels.
We teach skills, sure – but we also build courage, resilience, friendships and high-speed memories. It’s the its the school kids want to be.
The Coolest
School on Dirt
MTB School is a mountain bike program for kids Grade 1 and above, designed to build riding skills, outdoor confidence, and a lifelong love for the trails.
We believe kids learn best by doing, not by sitting still – so our “school” swaps desks for dirt tracks and homework for hill climbs.
Our founders and coaches, Francis and Nigel, are passionate riders, patient teachers, and firm believers that the best lessons come from the trail.
They focus on safety, fun, and progressive learning – ensuring every rider feels supported and challenged at their own pace.
Welcome to MTB School:
Nature is our Classroom
At MTB School, the great outdoors is our classroom and mountain bikes are our textbooks. Our lessons are written in dust, trails, berms, and table-tops – teaching kids confidence, balance, and grit in the best way possible: by having fun on two wheels.
Led by “Teachers” Francis and Nigel, our classes take place in the heart of Johannesburg’s green lung – Delta Park – where every turn, hill, and jump becomes a lesson in adventure and resilience. Booking is essential – small groups, big fun!
Every session includes guided rides, skills coaching, and trail exploration. Each week brings a new “lesson” – whether it’s mastering a corner, rolling a berm, or learning how to read terrain.

MTB Holiday School
Keep Learning on the Trails (Even in the Holidays!)
Our Holiday MTB School keeps the adventure rolling during school breaks.
Held on the same days and times as our regular sessions, it’s a chance for kids to keep riding, learning, and laughing outdoors.
From balance drills and obstacle skills to fun trail challenges, every ride helps build confidence, coordination, and control – all while making new friends in nature’s classroom.
