Testimonials
“It’s a humbling thing asking for help... I have known Shawn for a couple years now. Over this time I have considered the idea of getting some MTB coaching from him. I have been riding seriously for a few years and this past year I have slowly been getting into the competitive side of the sport. After a few solid races but stIll not cracking the leaderboard, I finally broke down and reached out to him. We chose 2 hours on the coldest, wettest day for our session at the short track. This ended up being some of the best hours I’ve spent on my bike! Shawn has a great ability to simply break down form and create easy and effective techniques to build better habits on the bike. As a result of our first session I’m now putting myself in podium position during races and just plain having more fun on my bike. 2 hours with Shawn has turned out to be one of my best mtn bike investments to date.”
