Firecrest Mountain Biking

There’s 22yrs between these two photo’s! My daughter Maisie on the 4X when she was just 2yrs old and rebuilding the park today. Funny how things go full circle.

Thanks to Jamie for snapping 📷 these bangers on

Race categories can always be a bit confusing as it’s the year of your birthday not your age that counts. Mij Downhill have put together this guide to the categories and how to work out which one is for you.

Hi all. This is mainly for the younger racers, or the parents and guardians of, when it comes to what category to choose when you enter a Downhill race.

Remember the category you need to choose is for the age you will be this year, not necessarily the age you are now.

In addition to this we also now have 7 to 9 year old rippers category and Under 12 will be rippers on our entry system.

We’ve got a packed programme of MTB Skills Courses coming up in May half term, with courses at Whippy Trails in Watford and Northampton Bike Park on Tuesday 26th May and Thursday 28th May respectively.

DeVo Level 1 is back in the mornings from 10am–12pm, with DeVo Evo and DeVo Level 2 sessions running in the afternoon from 1pm–4pm.

DeVo Level 1 is a great introduction to mountain biking and is aimed at riders aged 8–12 who are new to mountain biking or just starting to build their experience. It’s a great place to start and develop the skills needed to move through the DeVo programme.

DeVo Evo is for riders aged 8–12 who have completed at least five Level 1 courses or are already experienced young mountain bikers. For these sessions they ride with the DeVo Level 2 riders, who are aged 11–16 and range from beginner to experienced mountain bikers.

So if you’re 11 years old and looking to join this session, we’ll cover the basics to make sure you’re up to speed to ride with this group.
