We offer real-world mountain bike coaching industry experience or mentoring that applies to anyone who is interested in sharing the knowledge of how to ride a mountain bike. Either in formal training, informal family/friends environments, or simply to improve your own riding skills and knowledge. Originally designed as an internal training program, our instructor training is now publicly available; primarily to meet the demands of up-skilling school teachers who want to provide the best experience for their mountain biking students.

@ Private Coaching rates
At Black Ram MTB, our core mission is to increase the number of skilled MTB instructors in WA. While coaching riders keeps us busy, it also creates the perfect environment for instructor development. By embracing a hands-on learning approach, we help you identify effective techniques, gain valuable experience, and provide a dynamic proving ground to assess and refine your skills.
We’re not here to replace instructor certifications, but we recognise that many of them offer limited opportunities for growth. Often, these certifications focus on checkbox-driven requirements for insurance (important, but not the full picture!) or narrow down the field to only the highest-performing riders (rather than nurturing high-performing coaches!). Our programs stand out by providing real-world learning experiences, practical application, and continuous feedback to help coaches truly grow and support a riding community —not just collect a certificate.
