Flathead Area Mountain Bikers provides free Youth Mountain Bike Skills Clinics, open to kids aged 8-16 of all skill levels. Our Youth Clinics are designed to be fun group rides that focus on skill development, safety, and responsible trail use.
We meet at various locations (specified below) at 10am and ride trails for three hours, focusing on mountain biking technique and proper trail etiquette. We split up into groups of different skill and age levels. No prior mountain biking experience is necessary (but kids do need to bring their own well-functioning mountain bike and a helmet). Come join us for some fun on the trail! |

New in 2022!
FAMB has four bikes available for kids to use at our 2022 Youth Skills Clinics, thanks to generous donations from local bike shops such as Glacier Cyclery & Nordic and REI Kalispell. Our goal is to provide the opportunity for kids without bikes to attend our skills clinics and learn how to mountain bike safely. We will provide a helmet for each bike reserved and bring the bike to the event location.
All bikes FAMB has available are sized to fit riders around 5' to 5'4" in height, varying slightly in size, and will be awarded on a first-come-first-serve basis depending on availability. To inquire about availability, please email our Executive Director:
