5.00Initially hesitant to sign up for a coaching session when I thought I just wanted to ride, but after quickly being humbled with respect I have a profound appreciation for the lessons that were shared. From fundamental mtb techniques such as balance, track stance to Cornering and jumping. It was fun, mentally and physically challenging. Would not hesitate to recommend any one of near any skill level that is out in Brisbane to swing by and give Forbes MTB a try.
A fantastic family adventure!

5.00We joined the mountain bike experience as a family of four. My husband and oldest son are huge MTB fans, but my younger son and I were a bit nervous since we aren't as experienced. However, the instructors were amazing—they kept a close eye on everyone’s level and provided great support on the tricky paths, so we felt completely safe. It’s not often you get a professional MTB lesson, so it was a truly valuable experience for us. Plus, they took so many cool photos of us in action! We highly recommend this to any family looking for a special outdoor memory.
Awesome experience for my new to MTB 12 year old

5.00My 12 year old son absolutely loved his solo session with Ben! As he is new to MTB it was a great way for him to feel more comfortable and supported which has led to him being out on the trails frequently and doing subsequent group sessions with Ben. I can't speak highly enough of Ben - he is a great role model for the kids. Not only is he sensible, super friendly and knowledgeable he teaches the kids track etiquette so they know what is acceptable when they are out and about. Just a great experience all round. Will definitely be going back for more sessions .
Excellent!

5.00We were so happy to find this option to hire bikes and a guide when we were visiting Brisbane. Our experience was excellent. Ben met us at the trailhead with the bikes, made sure they were adjusted for us and had helmets and gloves for us, too. The session started with a short period of skills and then we rode a selection of trails targeted to our ability and preference. Ben is patient and flexible and we really enjoyed our ride at Gap Creek.
Great morning out!

5.00Great bikes, super helpful with pick-ups and drop offs and perfect level of tuition vs fun. My hubby and Son had a ripper of a morning, unfortunately we're now coping a constant reminder about how our son needs to upgrade his bike!! 😂 Thanks to Ben and John.
Great guide!

5.00We did the 7-9 years 2 day holiday program for the first time and it was fantastic. My little rider had the best time and came home a lot more confident and ready to tackle the local mountain tracks. Thanks so much Luke!
Fun and Informative

5.00My son and I enjoyed a private coaching session with Ben. We both loved it. Easy to book and good communication, but not only that, it was in a beautiful part of Brisbane, and we learnt so much about our bikes and great helpful advice.
Highly recommend

5.00My partner and I had zero mountain biking experience, but Ben made our 2-on-1 session incredibly fun and approachable. He tailored the lesson perfectly to our needs, making us feel confident and supported throughout. Ben’s energy, knowledge, and clear instruction made this experience a super fun adventure —highly recommend!
