Onto the next adventure! Founded in 2014 JoyRide has been a place to share the skills so people can love their riding. We have run over 300 skills course with riders from all around Aotearoa and have loved every minute of it! But now the time has come for the next adventure... my heart is keen to focus on WORD as the Founder/CEO and Russ is loving his work with Peak Safety Ltd as a medic and first aid instructor.

So... what does that mean?!

JoyRide is up for sale! We would love to see a passionate rad person take the reigns of this wonderful little business. We're super proud to have established Joyride as a professional MTB skills course operator with long standing Adventure Activity Operator status (whoop!)

Sometimes it is the small things that make the difference. Mike has been building his confidence on drops, but was landing nose heavy.

Working with Russ, we made some tweaks to his body position and leading with the bike off the drop and then recentering and he is landing wheels together and centred.

So cool to help people make these connections and see them progress.

This time of year we know it can be hard to make our group courses, so we have plenty of private sessions at a variety of times on offer. If you can't see a time that works for you, let us know!

Instructors want to work on their skills too! Our DNA is intertwined with , with both outfits being the brain children of . This year we strengthened that partnership with a free skills session for all new instructors. Our Rough Stuff sessions have proven the most popular with everyone looking to dial up their technical riding in order to keep with the kids this term! We are stoked to be able to support these riders honing their skills.
