But when they get cocky- I can find a few places in the forest that take skill and knowledge to do properly. May take a few rides to get to that standard but reckon I can still show a few how to climb the roots at Jevington without falling off.

I have not tried mountain biking -- but it looks like it would be physically challenging -- particularly if you don't have the techniques mastered (and I'm sure there are many of them to master).
But, your plan sounds like a good one. It will be hard for them to be overly cocky while they're laying on the ground... Just remember to try and not crack a smile!
Best of luck!
