Taking oul on mtb ride
In 2017, Wessel and I went over to the USA to become certified to start coaching. So I decided to take my passion and share it with other girls. I started to really love being on my mountain bike and all I wanted to do was ride and get better at it each time and so I did.Īs my riding progressed and I got more confident on my bike, I realised that there was a need for a teaching environment that supports women in a safe, fun and encouraging way. I would spend hours practicing my skills (just on the grass) and was determined to master them to take my skills to the mountain bike trails. I gained an understanding of the fundamentals and slowly began to build my confidence on the bike. These MTB skills training lessons completely changed my riding and my mindset – even though it was really hard learning from my boyfriend it taught me a new life skill – if you just listen and observe you can learn so much. Owning a bike shop he often got ladies asking him to assist them with their MTB skills (it must have been that kind smile and patient heart ?). That same year I decided to take on some ladies skills lessons – that believe it or not was run by my partner himself – Wessel Jacobsz. Seeing your progression realised is our biggest KPI and that’s why we love what we do! Our MTB skills clinics are designed to help get you to break through your own mental or physical barriers, and the best feeling for us is when we see a client have that ‘ah-ha’ moment and their bike and body start becoming one – that is the magic moment for both the coach and the student. We always bear in mind that it’s hard for someone to go beyond their fears or break through their skill plateau. Our coaches share mountain biking tips and techniques to help riders develop and hone their skills, using their experience to know when and how far to push each individual. Keeping riders safe and helping each individual push through their limits is challenging and a very important part of our job.

We believe there are aspects to coaching that go beyond certification and that’s being able to read and understand each individual.
