Curriculum

The Nebraska DEVO program is arranged in a building block style, starting with basic bicycle handling skills and gradually working up to advanced off-road techniques. The progression allows riders to learn the skills they need while gaining confidence on their bikes in a positive, encouraging environment. Riders are assessed on the first night of practice and are grouped according to ability. Each group will work on the same set of skills required to move on to the next level. Once a level is mastered, a new set of skills is introduced and practiced out on the trail.

Foundational Drills

At the beginning of each level of our curriculum, skills are introduced, modeled and practiced on grass before using any of our features or hitting the trail. Each skill builds on the next, preparing riders to utilize their skills once they put wheels to dirt.

Skill Drills

Once a skill is mastered on the grass we use various features to replicate situations where the skill may be used out on the trails. From cones to picnic tables and logs, riders have the chance to dig in a little deeper.

Skills Application

The trails provide all the opportunities the kids need to apply and practice the skills they have learned. From log crossings to technical sections and descents, hitting the trails is favored by all.
