We are all at different skill sets with mountain biking so we’ve created comprehensive descriptions for each WOW Rider group and skills clinic.

There’s something for everyone!

WOW Rider Level Descriptions

• Absolutely no toe cages, kick stands, racks, or panniers (zero exceptions).

• Helmet (CSA approved, MIPS beneficial, not older than 5 years)

• Tire pump or C02 cartridge
  Spare tube for your wheel size (26”, 27.5” or 29”)

What if I don’t have everything?
