MTB Movement Check

How The Assessment Works

Perform each movement test once.

If you meet the completion standard, select PASS. If you cannot meet the standard, select FAIL.

Each test you pass earns 1 point.

This assessment was designed by Alex Russell, a MTB performance coach with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy.

Each movement assesses your competency in the seven patterns essential for riding: Hinge, Squat, Lunge, Push, Pull, Rotate, and Stabilize.

Your total score reveals your current "trail readiness" and long-term durability on the bike. Most riders score between 5–8 on their first attempt.

No equipment is required and the full assessment takes about 5 minutes to complete.
