New to town or just getting into mountain biking? This is your group! The Intro to Team Summit MTB Fundamental Program is a 9-week program focused on learning and developing fundamental MTB skills, having fun, meeting new friends, learning basic bike-body awareness, and building confidence riding singletrack trails.

Groups:
In 2024, we will be splitting our Jr. Devo riders into three groups based on skill ability, fitness level and personal goals  Moving riders up to an older/more advanced group is at the COACHES’ DISCRETION ONLY as there are many considerations, beyond skill and fitness, that play into this rare scenario. If you have multiple children participating in our programs, the older rider can always ride down.

Group Splits:
Beginner/Fundamentals - For new, beginner riders who want to build basic mountain bike fundamental skills and ride with friends.
Speed/Distance Advanced  (For returning 4th - 5th graders)
This group is great for kids interested in cross-country and enduro-style riding (racing not required)
Stunts/Skills/Jumps (Intermediate/Advanced style enduro, and dirt jumping)
This group is great for kids wanting to learn to enduro-style riding, hit jumps, and drops. (For returning 4th - 5th graders)

Cost: $450

*Parent Notice*: Some of these groups are for advanced riders. Coaches of the advanced groups will assess each rider on the first day of practice to make sure riders are adequately prepared. In the event riders are not yet ready to participate in an advanced group, we will move that rider to a more suitable program on the same day and time. We do this for the safety and success of ALL Junior Devo riders!

** Program Includes end of Summer Party in Summit County

The Devo program is for middle schoolers interested in continuing to build skills and progress on the bike. The overall goals of the team are to build fundamental and intermediate bike handling skills and instill a sense of community among riders. Riders of all ability levels are encouraged. 

This group will consist of sixth through eighth-grade middle school girl and boy riders who are motivated to continue with skill building and are interested in taking their adventure riding to the next level. 

Riders in this group must be on a minimum of a 26” bike and aspire to tackle longer, more physically demanding rides including V3, Backdoor/Sidedoor, Nightmare on Baldy, B-Line, Colorado Trail - West Ridge, Slalom, Vomit Hill, Hard Luck, and Miner’s Creek.

While racing is not mandatory, riders in this group may be interested in participating in local and regional races through the Intro to Devo Race Program.

The U14 group will aim to split into two different groups at rides. Both groups are trail riding focused. Riders can move between groups depending on the week, personal goals, other summer activities, race schedule, etc.

Devo Adventure Group
Recreational Rides (Mild): This group will be a more leisurely ride where riders can work on progressing their current skill set and building new skills and confidence. Expect to ride 6-8 miles per practice, 500ft-750ft vertical gain. This group is great for kids who know how to ride their bikes, but aren’t interested in advanced-style rides.

Devo Speed/Distance Group
Progressive Rides (Spicy): This group will be looking to ride trails at faster speeds, and take on more technical challenges. Expect to ride 10-12+ miles per practice and 1000+ ft vertical gain with 2-3 short stops during the ride. Riders should have ridden at least one season of regular U14 first, or have a coach recommendation to join this group.

Grades: Fall 2024 6th - 8th grades
