Focused, personalized coaching for riders of all ages — kids and adults — who want to progress faster, work on specific skills, or just prefer a more tailored experience.
Each session is 2 hours on trail. Groups of 2–3 riders share the cost and often progress faster from riding together.
One 2-hour session on local trails. Book as needed, no commitment required.
Three 2-hour sessions at a 10% discount. Best for riders serious about improving.
All sessions include transport to local trailheads from Mancos. Sessions available weekdays and weekends, subject to trail conditions and availability.
Private sessions are tailored to each rider's level and goals. We start with an assessment and build from there.
Body position, braking, shifting, balance, and the core skills every trail rider needs.
Weight distribution, cadence, line choice, and staying smooth on technical ascents.
Outside foot down, looking through the turn, carrying speed instead of braking into corners.
Weight back, heels down, absorbing terrain with arms and legs, committing to the line.
Rolling rocks and roots, drops, small jumps, and building confidence on technical terrain.
Reading terrain ahead, managing risk, riding within your limits — and knowing when to push them.
Email or text Chris with your age, current skill level, and what you want to work on. If you're not sure, that's fine too — we'll figure it out together.
We'll find a time that works and confirm the meeting spot. Sessions run rain or shine unless trail conditions are unsafe — in that case we'll reschedule.
Meet in Mancos, we drive to the trailhead, and spend two hours working on real skills on real terrain. No parking lot drills — everything happens on the trail.
After each session you'll get a quick summary of what we worked on and what to practice before the next one. Most riders see real improvement within 2–3 sessions.
Reach out and Chris will get back to you within 24 hours to find a time that works.
