B-BUDDIES Summer Skills Challenge

Introducing B-BUDDIES Summer Skills Challenge NEW for 2025, a point-based 3 round series concentrating on skill rather than speed!

Throughout each round riders will be challenged around section 2 and 3 of the pedal and play areas at Hicks Lodge. There will be additional obstacles on each area for further skills tests. Each rider will start with 0 points and each time they put their foot down, their pedal hits the floor or equipment or they don't complete the equipment as challenged to they will gain points. The winner is the rider with the least points. Riders don't have to compete in all 3 rounds however to be in with a chance of winning a medal they have to compete in a minimum of 2 rounds. The best 2 rounds will be taken towards the end result. 

The minimum age for this challenge is 4 years old. We're offering an under 9's category as well as an under 16's category, both split with open and girls. The age is determined by the rider's age on the date of the first round. They must then stay in that category throughout. 

Each area will be closed for the half an hour of the challenge only. Only riders taking part can be on the area within these times. No practice laps available. No electric bikes, balance bikes or stabilisers.
