Location Options
Most of the coaching we do takes place at Copper City Trails near Three Forks, MT. That being said, we offer private coaching at a variety of additional trail systems and bike parks in Southwest Montana. We also have private coaching options in southern Utah (Moab & Hurricane) in the spring and fall.
When you book your day of coaching with us, we will pick the best trail system based on weather, time of year, where you're located, and your goals for the session.
Copper City Trails
Copper City is a purpose-built trail system created for mountain bikers, hikers and trail runners. It has more than 17+/- miles of bike-optimized trails, surrounded by 360 degree views of the Gallatin Valley. The system encompasses a wide range of trails including beginner-friendly, technical ridge, flow, and two downhill-only bike-only trails. There is also a skills park with skills features and a pump track catering to all ages and abilities.
FAQs
I've never worked with a coach, how do I know this is right for me?
Working with a coach is the fastest way to tease out your bad habits and teach the correct skills to shine. Coaching is all about breaking things down and practicing them in a more controlled environment. As far as we're concerned, the sky is the limit with MTB skills so we can always improve, no matter our skill set.
After booking your spot, we will ask you for detailed information about your riding, to get an idea of your skill level and learning needs/interests. We will use that information to customize our day of coaching together.
How much biking experience do I need to participate?
None. We'll meet you, wherever you're at in your mountain biking journey.
I don't see a date listed when I am available, are there other dates available that I can book coaching?
Absolutely! The dates online are available to book anytime. If you have a different day of the week, or date range of availability, contact us and we'll find time on our master calendar. We'll also add new dates to the website from month to month, and season to season (for future reference).
What kind of bike do I need to participate?
You must have a proper fitting mountain bike that is in good working condition. A full suspension, all mountain bike is highly recommended, but a hard tail is also sufficient. If needed, bike rentals are available in town. Contact us if you want to try a rental bike and we'll help guide you.
What do I need to bring?
Bring your bike, mountain biking shoes, helmet, hydration pack or water bottle, riding snacks, electrolyte replacements, lunch for the day, a spare tube and any personal medications or personal first aid. A detailed equipment list is included in your confirmation.
What kinds of skills will we work on?
We will work on the skills that interest you the most. Skills covered will include subjects such as braking, cornering, dynamic riding, technical riding, roll downs and advanced riding techniques.
