Fall schedule Six sessions on Mount Fromme for confident blue-trail riders ages 9–13. Build the braking, cornering and trail judgement to make more of their own decisions, with a coach helping them choose the next challenge.
Why Fromme Progression
Braking before a corner, spotting a line through roots, deciding when to walk a feature. We help riders practise the choices that make them more independent on familiar trails and ready for an appropriate next step.
The change you can see
Not because every feature suddenly feels easy. Because braking, line choice and body position are becoming choices the rider can use when the trail changes.
Braking happens before the technical section instead of becoming a rushed reaction inside it.
Looking ahead replaces blindly following the rider in front.
Progress includes knowing when to ride, retry, pause or walk.
Six sessions of deliberate progression
Coaching stays inside the ride. Each session builds from what coaches see, what the group is ready for and what the terrain allows.
These coaching stages develop across six weekly sessions—not a fixed day-by-day itinerary. The pace follows the riders.
Terrain follows readiness: Coaching begins on familiar blue terrain and progresses through suitable roots, rocks, corners, climbs and natural trail sections. Routes change with the group, weather, closures and current conditions. No rider is required to attempt every feature.
How they are coached
The coach does not lecture through the ride. They watch, identify one useful adjustment and create a chance to use it on the trail.
Maximum five riders per coach · Every coach is first-aid trained and criminal-record checked
Quick fit check
They ride Bobsled or similar blue trails in control.
They manage braking, gears and sustained climbing without constant help.
They are ready to improve technique—not simply chase a harder trail rating.

Return to dates & pricesFromme Progression is for capable blue-trail riders, not experts. They should already ride trails such as Bobsled in control, manage their own braking and gears, and have the stamina for a full day.
Speed is only one part of riding. Coaches adjust routes and challenges for the group while developing braking, body position, line choice, climbing, trail reading and independent decisions.
No. Riders can inspect, try, retry, pause or choose another line. Responsible progression includes knowing when not to ride a feature.
Coaching is built into the ride. Coaches observe, explain one useful adjustment, demonstrate when helpful, create a chance to practise and then watch the rider apply it on the trail.
After-school camps: Drop off on the north side of the Mount Fromme parking lot and pick up at the Kilmer Park parking lot every session, including the first. Use the standard Kilmer Park listing in Google Maps for the parking lot.
Weekend and school-break camps: Meet at Kilmer Park for the first session, then drop off on the north side of the Mount Fromme parking lot for the remaining sessions. Pickup is at Kilmer Park every session. For these camps, park on the Kilmer Road side and meet on the gravel field on the south side of the park.
