Getting kids outside isn’t too hard; it’s finding a way to keep them excited while they’re out there.

Scott Sports’s latest film series is a not-so-subtle reminder to parents — get those kids away from the television and outdoors. Need inspiration? Follow along with these mountain biking hero parents.

In episode 2 of the series, MTB parents Karen Eller and Holger Meyer talk biking with kids, safety, recommended trails, and more in a fun, step-by-step rundown.
