フューチャーズマウンテンバイクプログラム

• The program is designed for young riders aged 6-12 years. Participants must bring their own bike and helmet (mandatory). Bike rentals are not included in the program cost but can be arranged separately through Rhythm Japan 24 hours before the program date with a 20% discount. It is recommended that parents purchase a bike for children participating in the program.

The program includes 10 training sessions plus a free welcome session. Sessions run from July 14th to September 15th, with 4 after-school sessions (4:00-6:15pm) and 6 morning sessions (9:45am-12:45pm). All sessions are held on Mondays.

We offer coaching for both beginners (new to mountain biking) and intermediate riders. Early sessions focus on foundational skills at locations like Kutchan Bridge and Shiribetsu River Park. As skills develop, groups progress to NAMBA free trails and Grand Hirafu bike park (lift tickets required for some sessions).

The program is offered at a fixed seasonal price regardless of attendance. Refunds are only available if Rhythm Futures cancels a session or for season-ending injuries (medical certificate required). Additional costs may include Grand Hirafu lift tickets for certain sessions and insurance (not included).

Yes! Rhythm rentals are offered with a 20% discount for all children enrolled in the Futures summer program for any of the training days, with the following T&Cs:

• Rentals can only be booked 24 hours prior to the training session via the Rides team

• Availability not guaranteed 

• All rentals include helmets

Please note: there is no guarantee a bike rental will be available, and Futures program refunds or reschedules will not be provided due to missed lessons if rental equipment unavailable.

We highly recommend that all program participants purchase their own bikes for participation in the program.
