This is what my students have to say:

“Thanks Coach Gene for your time the last 3 days! Your coaching is spot on! I’m so lucky to have had the chance to spend this time learning from the most passionate mountain biker out there - one who cares about the sport and all the techniques that go into it! Total respect! That’s all I have to say! If anyone is questioning or “thinking” about signing up for his camp- DON’T just do! Thank you Gene!!!!”

- Gretchen Wavro


You don’t need more nerve or more experience; you need to learn the correct techniques and practice them. I want to teach you the skills to ride at your best!

I see riders struggling with trail sections they could easily make if they understood and were able to execute the proper techniques.

You can learn the skills and drills to master those skills by spending 3 days in my Proven and Structured skills course.


Do you want to descend with more confidence?

Make it up those technical climbs?

Or simply ride more efficiently with more control?


You will not just learn the skills to ride much better; you will learn the drills to master those skills.

The more effort you put into doing the drills I teach you the better you will get.

My course won’t magically transform you - you have to practice.


This is an intense learning experience. I’ve spent 25 years developing my course and know how to get you riding at your best.

You can learn the skills to ride better with more CONFIDENCE and have more FUN.


Have you ever thought: “I hope I make this?” ever slid out in a corner? ever said to yourself: “Just don’t crash?”


Imagine knowing you will make it! Knowing that you know how and why you will make it and that you have been getting better with practice.


To design this course I took my 10 years of snowboard team coaching experience and applied it to MTB. I studied the best riders in the world worked with the Greatest of All Time (Greg Minnaar) and learned from the best motorcycle coaches in the world.


Do you want to ride much much better? I can help you!

My camps are limited to ensure the best coach/student ratio.


You know the feeling of “Wow I got lucky I can’t believe I didn’t crash?” Do you like that feeling? Does it make you feel confident?


Frankly that “I got lucky” feeling scared the heck out of me. I want you feeling confident not lucky!

I’ve spent 21 years coaching and developing this course to help you. I don’t give tips I coach you.

My course is structured drill based and a lot of work. I have designed it to help you continue to improve long after it’s over.


Knowledge of skills and/or tips won’t make you better. Skills must become second nature - your go-to habit. The drills you do after my course allows you to improve for as long as you do them.

There is an old saying: “Amateurs practice until they get it right pros practice until they can’t get it wrong.”


Most Mountain Bikers just ride they don’t practice. To practice you must completely understand what you are practicing.

If you don’t understand the skill how to do it why to do it what it should feel like what it should look like how can you practice it?


About Gene Hamilton:

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 33 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.


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 is a National Downhill Champion and he has earned a silver (2002) and two bronze medals (1999 2006) at the UCI World Masters Championships. In 2019 he became the US National Champion.
