Mountain Biking One-On-One Coaching

Private coaching gives you the best way to learn faster and ride better. You get immediate feedback on your riding. In these sessions you'll be shown examples and have them explained. You'll be given tailored instruction on how to break down maneuvers into parts so you can build up your skills to conquer your goals.

These sessions are great for one-on-one, parent/child pairs, and small groups.

The coach will video you as you ride, then show you how to improve by reviewing video and giving you feedback.

Why a clinic?

MTB clinics focus on learning bike handling skills. The skills build on one another; a solid foundation of the basics is important. By learning the foundational skills one at time, a rider can feel comfortable and safe on unfamiliar, challenging terrain.

Are the coaches certified?

Yes. Coaches are PMBI (Professional Mountain Bike Instructor) certified and are certified in First Aid.

What if there is something I am not comfortable with riding?

Participation for everything is voluntary. Riders are NOT required to do anything that makes them uncomfortable or is above their skill level. If the coach feels the rider isn't experienced to be in the clinic he or she signed up for, the coach has the right for the safety of the rider to send them home.

LIABILITY WAIVER

All participants will be required to sign a release of liability waiver before the clinic begins.
