Last season’s team was incredible - we’re so stoked to have been able to support some of Queenstown’s finest young riders, and damn did they achieve some things!

School holiday camp for 12-14 year olds is live!

Something a bit different this time- We’ve created a race simulation weekend. We’ve built this to be a low pressure, process driven learning experience that guides riders through the tools they can use to approach races with calm confidence.

We care less about results, more about how you get them.

Strictly limited - eligibility requirements must be met. More info online on how to sign up - head to ‘juniors’.

DM for more info or questions.

Rolling up to the start hut with confidence in your kit is invaluable.

As peak race season looms, we do more setup work to ensure our rider’s bikes are set up to help, not hinder their racing experience. The system gives unparalleled insight into bike behaviours - here’s a few of the rigs we’ve worked on with it lately.

It’s been a hell of a season so far - the frequency of our posts tells the story!

Welcome to the team 👊

Excited to have this legend join us as a coach for the rest of the season. With a wealth of real world experience and knowledge, we’re sure our riders will be stoked on Baxter’s coaching!

Development Team 2025.

What a crew! 12 weeks of progressive gym work, developing riding skills and understanding bike setup in our pilot dev team. Seriously impressed with these guys and their trajectory in the sport. Into the busy race season now!

Huge thanks to all the supporters and for providing an incredible kit out for the riders!

Welcome to the team !

We’re stoked to have Katy on the coaching crew this season. Since meeting Katy we have admired her drive, enthusiasm and dedication to learning. It’s a real privilege to have Katy bring her depth of experience to the Onward team and we’re super excited to begin her coaching journey!

Katy is available for private and ‘byo’ group coaching now, with more group coaching TBA in 2026. Learn more at www.onwardmtb.com

Introducing our sponsored rider for 25/26 - !

Thank you to everyone who took the time to apply for this seasons intake. There were so many awesome applications, which was truly inspiring to see and read about your goals and dreams.

This year we received an incredible package from and we’re stoked to see Zoe kitted out in the same gear that we know, trust and enjoy to help us ride at our best.

We’re looking forward to a fun season of riding with Zoe and cant wait to get stuck in!

Keen to start your MTB coaching journey like this bunch of legends? We have a few spots left on our upcoming Rotorua and Queenstown courses.

These courses represent the benchmark for modern MTB coaching, and we're stoked to be involved in bringing this next evolution to NZ.

Whether you're keen to become a coach, help with local programs or improve your ability to connect with and teach others, these courses are top notch.

Sign ups are live - NB, course prices include GST! (Technology, eh 🙄)
