    Enjoyable 1 to 1 session with Joe who was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. My confidence on drop offs has greatly improved and I will definitely be booking more lessons in future.

    • David Windebank –

      Great stuff Chris…… Catch up soon

  3. Stuart Wilkins (verified owner) –

    Joe is very knowledgeable, explaining concepts clearly. He inspires confidence which lead me to tackle features I would normally walk! A great investment for building skills and progression into the future. Excellent value for money and an excellent coach. Thanks Joe!

      Thanks Stuart

  4. Roger Baldwin –

    I’ve been mountain biking since 1989 and thought I’d have some 1 to 1 tuition to sort out the bad habits I’d accumulated over the years. Dave not only accomplished this, no mean feat in itself, but what surprised me was how much more I learned in the two hour session. And it was fun! I’m saving for the next session.
    Thanks Dave.

  5. Megan (verified owner) –

    I had a great 1 to 1 lesson with Alex. He was very patient and it was an enjoyable experience. It was my first coaching lesson and I felt 100% comfortable the whole time. I learnt some very valuable points that I will take on with me moving forward. I feel a lot more comfortable on my bike and motivated to move forward. Great value for money.

  6. Alan Darfi (verified owner) –

    Had a one to one session today with Kai, fantastic experience would definitely recommend.

  7. Graeme –

    it was a superb session, learnt so much and Alex’s calm style and encouragement soon had my confidence back and managed to do things I have never managed before … brilliant!

  8. Chris Hayday –

    Fantastic coaching session with Alex! I had 3 hours 1-on-1 in the wet, but so worthwhile.
    I have been riding for a about 3 years and Alex helped me immensely focusing on the 4 fundamentals of riding.
    Perfect mix of pump track, skills park, flat and then trails, drops and turns, putting everything to the test.
    I am eager to keep practising and maintaining what I have learned, and felt my riding seriously benefitted from the time invested when I enjoyed a full day riding (in the dry!) the following day..

    The team at Wye MTB were awesome at pulling together a short notice coaching session for me. My coach Todd was really great – he was experienced and confident at watching my efforts and suggesting how to improve. The use of video was really really helpful. Thumbs up for Todd who is a lovely bloke as well as a top coach! I achieved exactly what I wanted to achieve, which was to go away feeling more confident and with some specific things to practice. Thanks to the whole team – I’ll be back for sure!

  13. Sam T-g (verified owner) –

    Big thanks to Todd for the 1-1 coaching today. His style and methods of coaching really helped me adjust my body positioning to gain speed in key sections. Big confidence boost, loads of practice now 👍
