At Positive Throttle, we believe that motorcycle riding can be a powerful tool for personal growth, skill development, and community connection. We are proud to offer tailored coaching and ride day experiences for NDIS participants who are plan-managed or self-managed.
Our goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and empowering environment where individuals can challenge themselves, learn new skills, and experience the unique freedom and focus that motorcycling offers. If your NDIS plan includes funding for Innovative Community Participation (Support Item Number: 09_008_0116_6_3), you may be eligible to use these funds for our specialised programs.
NDIS Support: Building Confidence & Community Through Riding
Elliot's Story: A Journey of Transformation
Words can only say so much. To truly understand the impact our NDIS programs can have, we invite you to watch the story of Elliot.
Elliot began working with Positive Throttle through his NDIS plan, looking for an activity that would challenge and engage him. Through dedicated coaching and his own incredible determination, he has not only mastered the art of riding but has also experienced a profound and positive transformation in his daily life.
The Life-Changing Benefits of Motorcycle Riding
Motorcycle riding is more than just a recreational activity; it's a form of active therapy that can lead to significant improvements in many areas of life. The focus and discipline required to control a motorcycle can help build skills that extend far beyond the track.
Key benefits for NDIS participants can include:
Improved Focus and Concentration: Riding demands complete presence and attention, helping to sharpen mental focus and mindfulness.
Increased Confidence and Self-Esteem: Mastering a new and challenging skill like motorcycle control provides a powerful sense of accomplishment and self-belief.
Enhanced Motor Skills and Coordination: The complex inputs required for steering, throttle, and braking help to refine balance, coordination, and physical dexterity.
Greater Social and Community Engagement: Joining our ride days provides an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals in a shared passion, fostering a sense of belonging and community.
Building Resilience and Problem-Solving Skills: Learning to handle a bike in a controlled environment teaches participants how to assess situations, manage challenges, and stay calm under pressure.
