Still find yourself hoping to make some corners, getting nervous in tight switchbacks or feeling
lucky, not skilled after that technical section? Or maybe felt frustrated because you are riding,
cornering/descending/climbing slower than other riders? I know how you feel, I tried harder and
read all the info I could but was barely getting better year after year (even after my first six
seasons as a pro!).

Have you been so nervous that you rode sections of trail slower than others? Or even walked
sections that other riders were riding? The same fears were holding me back.

I have designed my instruction and mountain bike skills coaching sessions to help you with both
the mental and physical sides of mountain biking. My goal is to help you reach your potential by
teaching you the core skills of mountain biking and the drills to master these skills. These are
the non-intuitive skills that still eluded me after 15 years of riding and kept me from reaching my
potential. Learning and becoming proficient at these skills will allow you to ride in balance and
in control making you a more efficent and confident rider.

Coaching is my passion and my students say,
" ... your ability to break skills down into
digestible parts, watch riders and help them refine techniques, your humility and
sense of humor make you a world class coach"*.  

Starting in a safe learning environment I explain the skill, demonstrate the skill and have you
practice the skill utilizing drills that you will continue to use long after the camp. Once you
understand the skills we then apply them on the trail.
I really enjoy helping others and would
love to share these techniques and the drills for practicing, getting good at and
eventually mastering these techniques with you. This is the most fun and informative
mountain bike school you will ever attend!
