Wish I had taken this course sooner!  I would be exponentially better and more confident if I had!  After 3 days, I came away with more much needed saddle time attempting drills and exercises I never would have tried on my own.  Great confidence builder to try difference things while pushing limits safely/correctly.  Looking forward to practicing the drills, hitting the trails and kicking it all up a notch! The clinic has made mountain biking so much more fun!

absolutely the best MTB skills coaching or any coaching for that matter I’ve received. The voodoo mine trick alone is worth the price and revolutionary to my riding.  The follow ups are also terrific, with great book, recommendations, that back up and prove the science of why we have to use implicit procedural mind to ride.  finally doing the recommended drills to improve and reinforce vision, body position, and cornering have significantly improved my intro experience. It’s the best 800 bucks you’ll spend on mountain biking

Great clinic. Gene explained the drills well and we practiced until we got it. We had a rainy clinic but he was able to find some cover to practice the drills. I learned so much and can now use the skills learned on the trails and will continue to practice them off trail too. He explained well, was kind and respectful to all. We were a mixed group of e-bikes and regular bikes and different skill levels, he made it all work so we all improved from where we were.

I attended a clinic with Gene last year, and my riding has dramatically changed for the better. I had been a very timid rider, but Gene's reasonable approach to obstacles and detailed instruction supported my learning and growth in a way no other skills coach has. Sure he went over fundamentals and body positioning and weight distribution and to "look ahead!" But the most important thing he taught me was how to practice these skills on my own. Because that's where the growth really happens. He taught me the basics but then also motivated me to continue working on everything on my own. That's what a great teacher does! And I can still hear his raspy voice in my head as I'm cornering, climbing, and rounding switchbacks. Thank you, Gene!

Thanks Gene!  It's Matt from your Jan. Scottsdale class.  I want to say thank again for an outstanding class and the follow up emails.  In the week after your course I followed your instruction and practiced the drills 4 times a week for 30 min, watched the videos, read your articles and it has made a huge difference.  In just a week of this I've seen improvement on rides, technical sections are easier, getting over obstacles using manuals is working well and my cornering is improving.  Looking ahead and not down has made a huge difference especially in rock gardens and on corners.  Being a former football coach I totally embrace the concept of working on fundamentals, practicing drills and putting in the time to get better.  I can't wait to see where I'm at with 6 months of practice and beyond.  You are an excellent instructor and coach!  Thank you.

No matter if you are new to MTB, or are experienced biker looking for breakthrough, Gene’s clinics are right for you! After attending Gene’s 3-day classes, I told my friends that now I learned everything I need to know to become a world champion! And the distance between me and them are tons of deliberate trainings - which you will get from Gene too! His classes really cover everything, your position, vision, balance, how to brake but not brake too much, cornering, switch back, drop, jump, wheelie… even how high your handle bar should be. And one of my biggest surprises was I even found the cure of my lower back pain!! I never thought that was because of biking, and Gene even has a solution for that! Literally ANYTHING you need to know to excel at biking, and more importantly, HAVE FUN!! I’m so grateful that I took his class after trying to bike for several months! The progress was incredible, soon after his class I sighed up for my first race! And in a couple months I’m attending another one! If you love MTB, and thought you couldn’t love it more, try Gene’s class and you’ll be surprised!!!!!

This is an organized & well-developed course. I'd recommend it to anyone, whether you've been riding your whole life or just started, who is interested in developing concrete, learnable, and fundamentally correct skills to improve your mountain biking, training, and life. Better technique equals faster, safer, and more enjoyable riding.

Being an older rider(62) I had a lot of old bad habits to overcome. Gene’s program did a fantastic job tweeking some of my MTB fundamentals. I feel so much more confident and capable in my riding. I ride in a lot of group rides and I use to always be pulling up the rear now I find myself in the middle of the pack! Gene helped to make me the rider I always wanted to be!  Thanks Gene
