Kids Shred too!
Kids Shred too
Have you ever seen those kids on the mountain just ripping down and making everything look easy? I think almost everyone has had the opportunity to say wow when it comes to seeing this, especially if you ski or snowboard. It’s actually quite a crazy sight and mountain biking is no exception to this. Spider Mountain is proud to give the opportunity for kids to excel at a sport they love and become shredders which leads us to the point, that kids shred too!

Start Slow!

You can take a look at our FREE intro to downhill lesson by clicking here or give us a call to answer any questions or book a private lesson at (512) 756-4878.
What gear do I need?
The Spider Mountain team recommends starting your downhill adventure with a full-suspension mountain bike. This will give you more control when going over bumps. We also recommend having a full suit of armor including a helmet, chest plate, elbow pads, gloves, and knee pads. Its also important to have grippy tennis or biking shoes.
If you don’t own a mountain bike or armor, don’t worry! We have rentals you can look at by clicking here.
We also offer the $99full package option on weekdays which includes a bike, lift ticket, and full set of armor padding. Check it out by clicking here.
What trail do I start with at Spider Mountain?
The best trail to start off on the right foot at Spider Mountain is Itsy-Bitsy. This is a great beginner trail and will help you get the feel of downhill mountain biking without pushing too much.
We do still recommend that beginners learn to be comfortable on flat ground before going up our chair lift. The best way to get comfortable and properly start off is to book a lesson with us.

How do I progress my skills?
Progressing your skills to become a kid shredder takes time and effort. This does not happen overnight! However, you can get to this level faster by taking the right steps.
The first step is to start off on the right foot. This means learning the proper fundamentals with biking.
