Summer Junior Devo

The Junior Devo Program is designed for young riders who have shown a passion and demonstrated the skills necessary to ride adventurous trails in Summit County. Riders in this group must be capable of comfortably riding at least a 24” bike with gears and hand brakes on singletrack trails for periods of up to 2 hours (this includes breaks). Intermediate biking skills such as speed control, riding through rocky terrain, proficient braking, adequate shifting technique, as well as being able to climb uphill portions of singletrack trails are required.

Athletes should be able to ride local trails such as; Blair Witch, Hay Trail, ZL, Hippo Trail, Barney Ford and Flow, Aspen Alley, and Upper/Middle Flume.

Program Dates: June 11th – August 8th
Practice Times: Tuesdays and Thursdays 5:00pm – 7:00pm
Groups: In 2025, we will be splitting our Jr. Devo riders into three groups based on skill ability, fitness level, and riding interest. 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.
- Beginner/Fundamentals: For new, beginner riders who want to build basic mountain bike fundamental skills and ride with friends.
- Speed/Distance Advanced: This group is great for kids interested in cross-country and enduro-style riding (racing not required)
- Stunts/Skills/Jumps: This group is great for kids wanting to learn to enduro-style riding, hit jumps, and drops.

Cost: $465

*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!
