Gene is an absolute master of a coach. I have done multiple camps with him and it definitely helped improve my fundamentals as a rider. Highly recommend!
The latest from Gene Hamilton
I love Gene and his BetterRide course! I took the MTB Skills course in Sedona in March 2022 and I have not stopped telling all of my friends about how much I learned in his class.
His teaching philosophy is focused on mastering the basic skills to ultimately become a more confident and overall safer (maybe even faster) mountain bike rider.
I’ve been riding about 3 years now and have been looking to introduce more predictability into my riding especially while attempting technical features or trails. Gene provides an excellent breakdown of MTB fundamentals and is able to differentiate his teaching to accommodate any level of rider.
He is full of stoke, enthusiasm and logic– a true teacher and overall great human. He made the course so fun and inspires you to continue your own learning beyond the class.
Seriously, taking the BetterRide course with Gene is one of the best decisions I’ve made in my mountain biking journey thus far. I have never felt more confident and more secure in my riding after applying the fundamentals I learned in Gene’s class. Thank you, Gene and BetterRide!
Why Gene wants to coach YOU!
Gene wants to teach you the skills to ride at your best!
You don’t need more nerve or more experience; you need to learn the correct techniques and practice them. MTB skills aren’t reserved for special people.
You can learn the skills and drills to master those skills by spending 3 days in his proven and structured skills course.
Gene will teach you the physical and mental skills on how to ride balanced, efficiently, fast and smooth. He also teaches drills for each skill so you can practice after the course and master these skills and get you riding to your full potential.
He’s had the pleasure of coaching this Skills Course to thousands of riders just like you. From advanced beginners like 80-year-old Leadville 100-belt-buckle earner Fred Schmid, to quite a few National and World Champions. Now it’s your turn!
24 Years of coaching experience has given him an Effective, Proven, Guaranteed, Structured and Drill based curriculum.

Race Course
Ready to race FASTER, ride with more CONFIDENCE, ride more EFFICIENTLY, and SHAVE MINUTES off your race times?

3-Day Trail Domination MTB Course
Learn to apply your skills on trail, learn a few subtle skills that pay off massively, learn how to look at the trail and see the faster and more efficient pro lines, and how to work with the trail. Plus, how to pump, pump corners and bump jump!
E-bike MTB
Skills Course
The increased weight and added power of an e-bike make them a different beast than an analog MTB. Some skills on an e-bike, such as cornering, are nearly the same as on a normal MTB.
Other skills, especially climbing, require a few tweaks to do them in balance and in control on an e-Bike.
You don’t need more nerve or more experience; you need to learn the correct techniques and practice them. MTB skills aren’t reserved for special people.
