Top Step Development is proud to promote cycling at a very young age by developing a program that will empower kids ages 6 and up to learn the basic skills required to ride on mountain bike trails, with an introduction to racing on our team and advanced skills when ready.

Practice schedule: Starting September 2nd and every Tuesday, and Thursday, 4:30-5:30 pm Through May 28th, 2026

Must-have Equipment:

Mountain bike with gears and hand brakes. Tires need to be knobby for dirt trail traction.

Proper fitting helmet. Helmets must stay snug during riding.

Gloves. Hands tend to get sweaty, and full-finger gloves protect against slipping on the grips and any chances of falling and scraping hands and fingers.

Glasses for eye protection. The trail is full of bugs, dust, and low-hanging branches that may hit the face during riding, so eye protection is mandatory.
Optional knee and elbow pads are recommended

Cycling Water bottle and water bottle cage or hydration backpack.


​For our newer rider's MT bike Fundamentals will be taught and tested:
Ready/neutral position for descending hills
Side/Side bike body separation
Pedaling/shifting efficiently
Controlling speed and braking safely
Cornering confidently
Handling obstacles and rocky terrain
Riding with vision
