South Hams BMX Coaching

Beginner BMX Coaching for Kids & Young Riders in the South Hams – Build Confidence, Skills & Fun at the Skatepark!1:1 and group sessions for young riders to learn tricks, skatepark safety, and BMX fundamentals – no experience needed!

My approach

Built on Experience. Driven by Fun. Focused on Your Child’s Growth.

With over 20 years of BMX riding under my belt, I bring a lifetime of passion, skill, and first-hand experience to every session. My coaching isn’t just about teaching tricks — it’s about building confident, capable riders from the ground up.

Each session is thoughtfully designed to be fun, engaging, and child-focused, whether it's one-to-one coaching or small group sessions. I use a proven mix of balance drills, skatepark skills, and confidence-building techniques to help every young rider progress at their own pace — safely and with a smile on their face.

From first pedals to first tricks, I make sure kids feel supported, encouraged, and excited to learn. My friendly, down-to-earth approach helps them grow not just as riders, but as individuals — developing resilience, coordination, social confidence and a love for active outdoor play.

Over the years, I’ve learned what it takes to progress, stay safe, and most importantly, have fun on a BMX — and that shines through in everything I teach. Whether your child is brand new to skateparks or already rolling confidently, I tailor my coaching to meet them right where they are.

Balance & Coordination

Giving your child the safety and security to feel comfortable enough to try new things and grow into enjoying the process of upgrading how they ride their bicycles.

Where I Coach

I currently offer my coaching or group sessions at Kingsbridge Skatepark at the end of the quay. The skatepark is mellow and smooth and ideal for beginners learning to develop balance and gain confidence.

I will also look to begin coaching at Outside skatebowl. This venue has a good concrete, pool-style bowl which is ideal for riders looking to enhance their skills on the quaterpipe: learning spins, fly-outs, transition tricks, flowing, pumping and carving to name a few.

Moreleigh pumptrack is another venue in close proximity where I will soon be conducting lessons. This pumptrack welcomes riders of all levels, from complete beginners to novice riders alike. The pumptrack is ideal for lessons on bike control, turning and leaning, pumping, carving, manuals and jumping: an excellent place to accelerate one’s bike skills.
