Certified Mountain Bike Coach (IMBA)

Whether you have been riding for 6 months or are a seasoned veteran, having a solid mountain bike skills foundation will substantially lower your risk of injury and increase your level of enjoyment.

I have created this weekend series of clinics focused on building your confidence through mastering fundamental skills and building upon them to more advanced skills as the weekend progresses.

The weekend is broken down into 4 clinics based on Fundamental Skills, Fluid Riding, Getting Air and Navigating Aggressive Terrain, which focuses on skills that will allow you to confidently ride any trail either in your hometown or any mountain biking destination.

You can either sign up for all the clinics or pick and choose the ones that best fit your needs.
