“We both had a blast and learned so much! Your teaching style is great, and you made the learning process fun and engaging. I really appreciate your patience, and being so knowledgeable on MTB. Needless to say the passion from an experienced rider like you is automatically contagious. We’re excited to put these skills to the test on more trails. We both feel much more confident and comfortable on the bike.” (D.H.)
“The 3 day course was very helpful for a complete beginner like myself. Richard took the time to explain everything very clearly. He puts you through course at your own level and adapts anything you are having a problem with.” (L.S.)
“Richard has taught me the foundations and practicing them is a lot of fun. The last half of my last (3rd) lesson was going down a trail, that I normally would bypass or walk down. I rode on parts of the trail that I never had the courage to do on my own (fear and lack of knowledge). Richard’s patience and skills have taught me that I can ride a mountain bike safely. Safety has given me confidence and I will continue riding trails and practicing and maybe more lessons. I can only get better with the proper foundations I have been taught.” (T.E.)
“Even if your a competent beginner rider there is always something to learn with a lesson”. (M.T.)
“Richard has a long history of sport instruction, and he has a calm manner to quell any initial anxieties! He is also very knowledgeable, and is very committed to the sport of mountain biking by giving back to the community. Richard is not an ‘arm chair coach’ – he rides his bike and is familiar with local trails and trail construction which helps in discussion. I am very comfortable recommending Richard to riders, I feel he would be a good instructor for many levels of rider!” (J.T.)
“The material taught was relevant and directly applicable to my riding. The instructor was friendly, engaging, professional, and knowledgeable about the material.” (C.W.)
“Quality course and instructor.” (R.B.)
“It’s a great way to get some basics and make the learning process enjoyable. Well organized session really tailored to each individual’s comfort and ability. Fabulous instructor!” (N.F.)
“I’m really thankful to have Richard as an instructor who was very informative and patient at the same time.“
“Natural progression of skills as well as recognizing where our skills were and building the sessions to support us.”
“Richard was an amazing and patient instructor.“
“Richard ran through the curriculum and identified where I needed help. After giving me some direction we walked through one of the trails that I was struggling with and helped me tackle tricky sections. I wasn’t expecting to learn so much in 2 hours.”
“Richard was a great instructor. He acted like a true coach, showing confidence in us when we were unsure of ourselves. Sometimes you need that, especially when initially the thoughts of some features may be terrifying. He did an awesome job.”
