Bookings -2026
It is advised to view this page on a laptop and desktop.
Chiltern Young Riders conducts training courses and private weekday sessions throughout the year, rain, shine or snow! This means we ride when snow is on the ground, torrential rain is falling or we are having heatwaves.
There is a lot of information on this page and it needs to be read thoroughly before booking. The forms are contractual documents and are also used for insurance purposes. If you are looking at this page on a phone it takes a while to scroll to the bottom.
A 1-2-1 private lesson is the minimum necessary to assess whether a child can move to group lessons.
If the child is under 12 or with weak upper body strength he or she usually need more than one. (please google search "Why is Motocross one of the toughest sports in the world"?)
The information on both below will help understand the system. Please always use email as the communication method not text or WhatsApp.
PRIVATE LESSONS (also known as 1-2-1s)
Private sessions are booked by first emailing the CONTACT enquiry form on the CONTACT page. This is NOT the1-2-1 BOOKING FORM
Once you have heard from us by email in response to your Contact Enquiry form you will be asked to provide a number of dates and times for the session. Once this is agreed by email the 1-2-1 booking form below can then be filled in and submitted by scanning or Jpeg. Bacs details will be emailed so the Fee can be paid. That will confirm the booking.
Note- when slots are offered they need to be acted on and booked within 24hrs. Slots are re-offered after that.
This policy is to keep it fair on all and to allow us to plan groups and lessons.

PRICE of a 1-2-1 Private Lesson
£160 incl Vat, includes private use of all the tracks, bikes suitable to size and skill level, all safety equipment and clothing, one to one instructor, damages to bike up to £100 and refreshments. This is the most effective way to start your child in MX. It may be that the rider has already had some experience however we will still need to assess skill level in a 1-2-1 before allocating a Group weekend lesson.
At an appropriate time the sessions will also include instruction on bike maintenance.
These 1-2-1 lessons can also count as your child's PE lesson. SEND and Alternate Provision available in 2026 during weekdays
Please note 1-2-1s/ courses are NOT transferable and the cancellation process is in writing before the 1st of the month preceding the month of the private booking date or start of the weekend course. All cancellations attract a £20 admin fee. This applies regardless of the reason for cancellation
Please note if a rider becomes over-tired we reserve the right to stop the session in the interest of safety.
PLEASE READ THE WELCOME DOCUMENT BELOW IN GREEN TAB
The Welcome Document below aims to cover relevant information you will ask about and need before and after booking- so please read it.
WEEKEND GROUP COURSES (ONLY AFTER a 1-2-1 SESSION)
Before joining group lessons the child will have to have completed 1-2-1 assessment lesson(s) so when they join a group they do not need continual individual attention, due to balance, strength or other factors. This will all be discussed and dealt with at the 1-2-1 session.
Each course consists of FOUR one hour lessons done on FOUR consecutive weekends, on Saturdays and Sundays. All the safety equipment, bikes and clothing are provided- we are happy to have the children wear their own as long as it is BS m/cycle approved.
Places are limited at present to only having 5-7 persons per lesson, they are booked on the basis of first come, first served.
Any cancellations must be in writing BEFORE the 1st of the month preceding the Course start date. This allows time to re-sort the places.
We try to observe office hours when dealing with enquiries, so please don't call after 6pm.
Please email for pricing- airbag and FMX jump priced separately.
