It saddens me to see all these enthusiastic riders with modern bikes, BARELY MAKING SECTIONS that could easily be ridden. It takes SIMPLE SKILLS to become a much better rider – NOT MORE DARING .

Gene’s Passion is Coaching, and He Wants to Help YOU!

Before starting BetterRide in 1999 he had ten years of experience coaching snowboarding, giving him over 30 years of coaching experience.

Over those thirty years, Gene has mastered his coaching technique by keeping a Beginner’s Mind and constantly improving both his coaching and his curriculum.

He spends his time studying how people learn physical skills, taking coaches courses, and working with the best riders in the world including 4-time World Downhill Champion Greg Minnaar, National Downhill and Dual Slalom Champion Mitch Ropelato and National and Pan American Champion Jackie Harmony.

His critical eye can quickly spot what you are doing right and wrong and he knows how to get you to master the correct techniques.

Gene is a pretty good rider too, he has earned a silver (2002) and two bronze medals (1999, 2006) at the UCI World Masters Championships and in 2019 he won the US National Championships.

MTB Skills are not Intuitive

There is NO sport where doing the sport poorly but more often actually increases your skills.

Invest in the Rider, not the Bike.

Spend your money wisely – your skill level will determine your Safety, Confidence & level of FUN

Watch Gene’s video to see why he gets reviews like this:

“You are the master communicator, dissecting the concept all the way to the how and why of practical application. I got so much out of taking one of your clinics; you raised my riding from poor to competent. Thanks so much.”

- Hank Schiffman
