There is ONE type of rider that wont benefit drastically from MTB coaching. And that’s a rider who already has a ton of experience and just doesn’t give a s**t to improve their riding. And that’s fine if you’re that rider. I know a ton of riders like that. If you’re good enough to know what you’re doing (for real) and you don’t ride over your head, challenge yourself, keep it mellow…you don’t need coaching. Just keep doing what you’re doing.

But as soon as someone REALLY wants to improve—whether that’s to be a safer and more competent rider; to gain confidence and actually know how to ride the bike; or to get good, get faster, and be able to ride with the big dogs and/or get race results—then the ABSOLUTE BEST THING you can do for your riding is get some good coaching from a legit coach.

You know it’s true.

The winter/spring clinic schedule is up at www.dirtsmartmtb.com. Go there and check it out and then shoot me an email so you get info to know when and where I make a bunch of changes, additions, and switcheroos cause those things will happen between now and then. However, as soon as peeps sign up the schedule gets locked in. So sign up!! If you have a location where you’d like to see a clinic, lemme know and I’ll work it in. Very good chance we make it happen

Still spots available in the DENVER DirtSmart Skills Clinic, Oct 4-5. Two days covering the whole spectrum of riding. “Advanced beginner” to pro skill levels welcome. Ebikes welcome. Small class size and smart locations means the clinic is catered to YOU and your needs as a rider.

Great news: the upcoming Denver clinic gives us great access to a local bike park. Let’s face it, if you can jump well, you’re you really glad you can; if you can’t, you wish you could. If you follow any of my stuff you know that I believe time, feel, and patience are the real keys to REALLY know how to competently jump. But the Denver clinic will get you pointed in the right direction.

Jumping well is really about knowing how to ride your bike: a complete foundation of skills. But more importantly—and especially when it comes to applying jumping skills on the trail or track—that foundation HAS to be there: trail vision and line choice; cornering well; drops; steep technical stuff; understand that braking isn’t just about grabbing a handful of brakes until you slow down enough, but also very much about speed control and momentum management—not even about slowing down—if you can’t manage your speed well, you better not try to go very fast (or try to grease jumps and gaps)…

You get the point: it’s about the whole package. Bike set-up, gear, training, injuries, race craft…and much more will all be included over the two days.

Whether you’re new to mtb and mainly want to be safer, know what you’re doing and why, gain confidence and get better; or you’re already a good rider but know there’re better ways to do things and/or looking to shave fractions of seconds by cleaning up your game, this clinic will be the best money you ever spend on your riding.

Always feel free to contact me with any questions.

Upcoming DirtSmart MTB skills clinics: Denver 9/6-7, Santa Fe 9/20/21

How’s the riding going this summer, kids? Race results not what you were hoping for? Still getting off and walking the parts you shouldn’t be? Crashing your brains out? Still getting dropped by your buddies? Or maybe it’s going ok, but you know there’re way better ways to do things; Safer, Smoother, Faster ways (and more fun!!) to get it done. Maybe you just need a refresher and touch up that skillset?

But do you want to go with one of those dime-a-dozen coaching organizations where some random kook with 4 yrs of riding experience and a few goofy certifications is gonna be your coach? Or do you go with a proven gig that’s been around since the beginning; works with beginners to pros; 20 years pro gravity racing experience; years of industry experience training, bike set-up, you name it…

You know the answer to that that one. Research it for yourself. You won’t find a better resource to up your skill level no matter what your goals are as a rider.

“Advanced beginner” and up skill levels welcome. Small class sizes mean the clinic is catered to YOU and your needs as a rider. Great locations that cater to all levels. Private coaching also available.
