Getting in my mid 60's, having various joint and pain issues - I was wondering if I could really mountain bike much longer. Dave's MTBA system simultaneously addressed my health, restored my athleticism while teaching incredibly effective new skills (and correcting bad habits). The connection from mind to body training to bike skills and ride results- it is unique to the Mountain Bike Academy, and you get it tailored specifically to your *exact* situation, whether beginner or expert, including broken down body! Instead of declining skills or even plateau'd skills, I am now BLOWING AWAY anything I've ever done, even years ago. The instructors and community are top notch and being with such a dedicated group of mountain bike enthusiasts is incredibly rewarding

Really great physical fitness instruction plus a relentless group of guys and gals that mountain bike and they want you to mountain bike. Most everyone is far more advanced than I am, but they keep encouraging me to ride and practice. The coaching is very good and it’s even better when you participate by sending videos or meeting one of the coaches in person. I don’t have any lofty goals, I just want to ride until I die. No getting old and stuck in a recliner for me 😊

Mountain Bike Academy has taught me so much about riding position, techniques, and mobility/exercises in the last 4 months. I am finding the confidence to try things now I have always wanted to do and find that once I try them they're not as hard as I thought they would be once I know the correct body position and tequnique to carry them out. Still have a lot to learn and improve on but am making a lot of progress faster now and with less risk of injury.

So far getting great input and really rapid feedback that I can implement on my next ride, and that really makes a difference.

Great instruction, and insight into what was holding me back. Yes, I saw improvements after 2 weeks. I really couldn’t believe how fast my skills started to progress. I’m a “good enough” mid level intermediate rider, but I wanted to ride better. Now I’m hitting lines with finesse and confidence.

I was sceptical at first of how much I could benefit from an online course, but lo and behold, I stand corrected! Thanks to David, Kevin and John, I have made leaps and bounds in confidence that I had never achieved before, even with 1-on-1 coaching. They have all offered real, valuable and insightful feedback that gets me on the right track every time. Thanks to the exercise/mobility side of the course, I am physically and mentally in a better place now in regards to mtb and genuinely look forward to every single ride because I move more fluidly and genuine have more fun than ever before. It's been a real investment that has paid off!

I've been working with the MTB Academy for a couple of months now, and it has really opened my eyes to training skills, to get the complete package! The coaching, the workouts, the library materials are all top notch, and worth every penny. All mastery takes time, but I can see how I"m building a foundation of skills that will be furthering my abilities for years to come! I would highly recommend this pathway to anyone who's not progressing in their riding the way they would like.

I’m about 2 months into my membership at the Mountain Bike Academy and I am seeing tangible results on the trails. I came in focused on high-speed corning and the coaches have broken down the skill progressions for corning in a digestible and logical way. My next step is to integrate pumping into my riding. I am also pleasantly surprised at how the off-bike training has improved my ride. I am looking forward to further improvement in the months to come.
