3 Day Mountain Bike Skills Training Camp (Ellijay, GA)

Want to have more fun on the trails? Want to be more efficient and mountain bike with more confidence? Still find yourself hoping to make some corners, getting nervous in tight switchbacks or feeling lucky, not skilled after that technical section? Gene Hamilton and the certified BetterRide coaches know how you feel, because they have all been there. Gene was held back in his professional racing career by the same fears and lack of proper technique that most riders experience. But that was before BetterRide…

Gene has designed a comprehensive skills training program that continues to prove itself as the best in the US. BetterRide coaching sessions will help you with both the mental and physical sides of mountain biking. The goal is to help you reach your potential by teaching you the core skills of mountain biking and the drills to master these skills. These are the non-intuitive skills that still eluded Gene after 15 years of riding and kept him from reaching his potential. Learning and becoming proficient at these skills will allow you to ride in balance and in control making you a more efficient and confident rider.

Coaching is Gene’s passion, as one of his students puts it, ” … your ability to break skills down into digestible parts, watch riders and help them refine techniques, your humility and sense of humor make you a world class coach”.

Starting in a safe learning environment we explain then demonstrate the skill and have you practice the skill utilizing drills that you will continue to use long after the camp. Once you understand the skills we then apply them on the trail. At BetterRide Gene and his coaches truly enjoy helping riders progress and would love to share these techniques and the drills for practicing, getting good at and eventually mastering these techniques with you. This is the most fun and informative mountain bike school you will ever attend!

With over 18 years of coaching experience including 12 years coaching mountain biking Gene and his certified coaches know how to get you riding at your best. BetterRide is trusted by many top pro racers (Sarah Kaufman, Chris Van Dine, Joey Schusler, Mitch Ropelato, Lynda Wallenfells, ..) to get them riding at their best.

All mountain bike camps and private lessons are guaranteed to improve your riding or you'll get your money back.
