Young riders can gain valuable bike handling skills and confidence in a safe and friendly setting tailored just for them. These sessions suit children aged 6–12 with no prior motorcycle experience, though they must be able to ride a push bike. Instruction is adapted to each child’s level, ensuring steady progress and plenty of fun throughout.
On arrival, participants complete registration before being fitted with a full riding kit, including boots, helmet, gloves, trials pants and a jersey. A short safety video introduces the key guidelines, after which riders meet their instructor. The session starts on open, flat ground where children are taught the basics of throttle control, braking and body positioning.
As riders grow more confident, they move onto ‘sections’ — marked obstacles designed to develop turning, balance and control on varied terrain. These sections are adapted in difficulty to match the ability of the group, ensuring everyone feels supported while also being challenged. The progression from simple to more complex riding exercises helps children steadily build their skills and confidence. At the end of the session, riders enjoy refreshments including a hot or cold drink and home baking.
The training takes place in Whitewell, Lancashire, in large outdoor fields purpose-suited to trials riding. The rural environment provides safe, open spaces for both basic skills practice and marked sections, away from any public roads. The peaceful setting helps riders focus and enjoy the experience without distraction.
Whitewell is a small village surrounded by attractive countryside and is popular with outdoor enthusiasts. The site is within easy reach of surrounding towns and offers on-site parking, making it convenient for families. The area’s mild climate during the training season makes it suitable for outdoor riding across spring, summer and early autumn.
For bike hire, riders must be aged 6 or above and able to ride a push bike unaided. Those bringing their own bike can join from age 4, provided they ride confidently. No prior motorbike experience is required for either option, but participants must be ready to follow instructions and try riding while standing on the pegs.
Parents or guardians of under-18 riders must remain on site during the session to ensure safety and quick assistance if needed. This also provides reassurance for the children as they learn.
These sessions are built specifically for young riders, combining expert tuition with a safe and enjoyable approach to trials riding. Using electric OSET bikes with adjustable controls ensures that children can learn at a pace that suits them, without being overwhelmed.

Groupings and activities are tailored to suit these age categories, helping children learn at a comfortable pace.

Instructors tailor the difficulty of sections according to each rider’s ability. This adaptive approach keeps the session engaging and ensures children develop their skills at a comfortable pace while being challenged appropriately.
Yes, all sessions include a hot or cold drink and home baking to help young riders refuel after their training. These refreshments provide a welcome break and an opportunity for children to socialise and relax after active riding.
