Bikes will be suited to your physical size and dirt bike experience and the personalized tuition is tailored to your needs, at any level. James is NZ's most experienced dirt bike coach; you will be in good hands. Our experienced Thundercross Team will look after you.
Beginners/novices: No matter your age; if you can confidently ride a two-wheel pedal bike, we can teach you to independently ride a dirt bike around our Learners' Track. No motorcycle experience or licence required.
This package includes 1 hour of tuition, which will give you the basics of bike operation - starting, stopping, braking and changing gear. Our coaches will get you going, so that you can enjoy the rest of the day on our Learners' Track, set in the centre of our beautiful 750-acre Park, with stunning views all around.
Want to progress more? A 2nd hour of tuition can be available to you, if you would like to advance your skills and make real progress in bike-handling. The second session will take you to hill-climbing, hill descents, cornering, riding whilst standing up & picking lines. It is a practical session, with our coaches riding alongside you. We find our riders really love this session; it progresses dirt-biking techniques that will really add to your skills and experience. Ear to ear smiles guaranteed!
This 2nd hour helps prepare you for our B-Track (the novice/intermediate Track) and, depending on individual confidence and skill level, there may be an opportunity for an accompanied section of the B Track. Important: beginner riders should not attempt the B Track without having had this 2nd session of coaching. (Must be booked in advance; separate fee applies; or you can book the Scorching Spring Special, which includes 2-hours of tuition - see Booking above)
Experienced tuition: If you are a more experienced rider and would like advanced tuition to progress your skills and techniques, we can most definitely help you with practical sessions on the more advanced tracks.
If you are an advanced rider and, therefore, do not require tuition, you may visit Bike Hire, under the tabs above, for bike hire with kit, fuel and Park entry fee only.
