What we do

We offer mountain bike skills coaching and coached rides. We're based in Afan South Wales, where have our own 'private' coaching venue designed especially to progress our clients’ skills.

To ensure you develop your skills and confidence efficiently and quickly we use a modern formula of ignition, (thats your desire to improve) Master coaching (thats our bit!) Deep practice (some of this will be on the course but most of it will follow the course when you’re out riding) this all leads to enhanced skills and confidence in the shortest time possible.

Due to our depth of knowledge and experience we also carry out Instructor/Leader CPD training for other instructors wanting to 'up skill' either their riding or coaching/instruction ability.

Our coaching style is professional but always friendly & relaxed. We keep ratios small for high quality Skills coaching and we also use video analysis on our sessions to make sure you get the most out of it.

For coached rides we take you out on the trails to focus on specific parts and not only look after you on the bike but we show you the local area and points of interest too.

Whether you are male or female we can deliver the right course and coach for your session. Get in touch and see what we can do for you . . . 

Video Analysis using Coaches Eye

We've been using video analysis on all our coaching sessions since we started coaching MTB over 13 years, which was rare in many companies. Now a lot has changed since then and we have kept up and moved with the times as riding styles, trails and bikes have changed. We have adapted our coaching keeping it fresh, we've always focused on these key ingredients video analysis, fun environment and flexible content.  

Female specific

Coming on a female-specific course or private session with us can have lots of benefits, as well as being lots of fun and meeting other female riders, everyone is working on the same wavelength and in a testosterone free environment it’s really refreshing when you are trying to take your riding to that next level. We also cover fitness conditioning and goal setting too.

Having a female coach who understands your needs, puts you at ease and creates a really fun learning environment and can also show you what women are capable of, is a great change from the all to often publicised ‘Ladies’ course that actually has male instructors.

Lots of women ride and most ride with their partners or male friends. Guys don’t think along the same lines as women, they also learn and often ride in different ways too, as you might have noticed! That does not mean you can’t keep up with them and show them a thing or two though.

We work with small groups, so that you and a couple of friends can have coaching in a specific location that fits the skills you want to develop. Females respond to this friendly environment and develop their skills faster this way. Thats why we do it!

So, no matter if you just like pottering about the local lanes and bridleways or if you are a Downhill Diva or even a wannabe Jump spot Queen we can help you on your way. 

Learning at your own level and pace with a female instructor is a fantastic way to develop your skills further. Why not get in touch with us and see where we can take your riding with you?

• A full day (10am to 4.30pm) of fully qualified MTB Skills coaching
• Suitable progressive terrain in our own ‘private’ skills area
• Live video coaching so you can see what you are actually doing
• Post course feedback CD with all the video footage from the course on with Demo's etc
