✔️ Build MTB skills, strength, stamina, and coordination
✔️ Explore nature and challenge themselves on mountain trails
✔️ Recharge and have fun after a busy school day

It’s more than just a ride – it’s a journey of growth, fun, and lasting memories. 🌳💪

Our classes are semi-structured, with a flexible program designed to balance skill-building with free exploration. Guided by passionate teachers, kids can experience the thrill of adventure while feeling supported and empowered. Our goal is simple: to create an environment where your child is not only learning but thriving. 〽️

At BreakAway Rides, there’s no pressure or rigid timelines. We understand that every child learns best in a space where they feel safe, seen, and supported. Our approach gently encourages each rider to grow at their own pace, building both skills and fitness naturally. 🚵‍♀️

The climbs are always tough, but we do them with a smile because the downs are worth it. 😎

Building from little features to big ones, one lap at a time.

Behind every great event is a great team. 🔵🔴
Big thanks to every single one of you for making our skills area at the Southern Suburbs Schools MTB a huge success.

13/09/2026

We were back at the Southern Suburbs Schools MTB and what a blast it was hosting the skills area again.
This year we added a new feature “the seesaw “ and refined some of the other bits of the course so the riders could really get their eye in and coordinate their balance before heading into their races around the SACS mtb course.
Big thanks to everyone that participated, the coaches for keeping the flow and the setup and our amazing sponsors:
Enduren Nutrition for keeping everyone hydrated and fueled naturally 🌱
Leatt MTB for keeping everyone protected and looking snazzy 😎

Wait… What… how did we get this many smiles together?

What started as MTB coaching becomes something much bigger when you see a group like this. Different ages, different abilities, different personalities, all learning, riding and pushing each other forward.

The experienced riders learn to lead. The newer riders gain confidence. And somewhere along the way, everyone realises they have something to teach each other.

This is the part of coaching we love most. Not just developing better riders, but building a community where everyone gets better together.

08/09/2026

A few highlights from our recent Adult Foundation Workshop at Bloemendal, where riders worked on the fundamentals, built confidence and learnt techniques they can take straight onto the trails.

The goal isn’t just to learn a skill. It’s to understand it, practise it and build it into your riding.

Want to keep progressing?
