I had a session with Gareth yesterday and his mission was to help build confidence and give me the tools to enjoy next month's trip to Bike Park Wales. In a previous visit, I found myself scrubbing speed to avoid taking off on the jumps and I wanted to fix that. Gareth helped me understand and become more self aware of when I was making mistakes. There was a lot on the list for the day and dispite that, he had me clearing a table top. I can definitely recommend the hopper he has as a fun way to end the day. I plan to book to see Gareth next year as a follow up and would definitely recommend. For private tutoring, it's the cost of 2 new tyres and sealant - makes it a no brainer to book Gareth for your progression!

After debating which course to do and area I’m please I choose Mission mountain biking. I travelled from Northumberland so only took me around 2 hours to get there. When arriving Gareth and Pete was there to meet myself and others who were on the course. After being off the bike for more many years I booked jumps and drops the course lasted 6 hours and definitely worth the money. The instructors did a fantastic job in building my confidence back and will certainly be back for more courses.

Gareth was an amazing coach for our session on Monday. He is very kind, patient, professional and full of knowledge, exactly what you would want in a coach. Highly recommended!! Can't wait to catch up again in the future. Myself and my partner have learnt so much already. Thanks again!

I had a great day training with Mission Mountain Biking and would recommend to anyone new to mountain biking or struggling with jumps, drops, steep sections etc. I was amazed with what I achieved and have seen a massive improvement on my local trails since. Thanks again Gareth! :-)

Booked a course with Gareth to increase my confidence on the bike after being away from mtb riding for lots of years, within minutes I was doing stuff I only dreamed of, and stuff I would never have attempted without his knowledge and skill in coaching, I had the best day and can’t recommend G enough, easy going but very effective, cheers. Thanks again, top bloke😀

Excellent day improving my basic skills with @missionmountainbiking, he helped me build my confidence up well out of what was my comfort zone and was able to see a bit of air time too. Well worth it and would recommend to anybody wanting to improve their skills.

Had a brilliant day coaching yesterday with Mission Mountain Biking with an absolute top bloke Gareth!I was coached on jumping on drop offs in the beautiful Dalby forest.I was very nervous at the beginning but Gareth put me at ease and brought me down some awesome trails and drop offs I would have either been second guessing or riding around.Gareths coaching is very informative, helpful easy to understand and most important to me was really FUN!!I left yesterday's coaching with a massive smile on my face and the confidence knowing I was thought the correct technique to keep practicing at home or on the trails. If like me the confidence was knocked from you Mission Mountain biking is for you it really helped me and ill definitely be back up to further my skills.Massive thanks again to Gareth!!

I did my 2nd course with Gareth on 27th November. Previously I'd done the Progression course which I found really helpful. On this course it was time to get some air ! The Jump course was really useful and great fun, which is something I've enjoyed very much about Gareth's style of coaching. There's are definite goals to it all, but at such a relaxed pace that you never feel that you're struggling or not achieving. I would certainly recommend Gareth's coaching sessions to anyone. Whether you're new to Mountain Biking, or like me a bit long in the tooth but wanting to eliminate all those bad habits !

Really great day yesterday being coached by Gareth. Received great tips on technique and positioning, it makes you stop and really think about how your riding. I took a lot from the day and would definitely recommend Gareth without hesitation. Even learnt how to do an American bunny hop which I'd been trying to do for ages!

Great day with Gareth and a group of old school and Uni mates. Gareth knows the Peak District area well and took us on some challenging and rewarding climbs and descents!All very good and then a good pub beer garden with the sun shining as well. He made sure we all completed the trails and gave very good tips and advice along the way.Highly recommended!

Did the Progression course on Saturday. Having been off the bike for a few years, Gareth gave me the confidence and advice I needed to tackle most of the challenges we took on through out the day. He gives clear calm instruction in a laid back fashion. Fantastic day in Dalby with a great bunch of guys. Cheers Gareth.

Would 100% recommend mission mountain biking. Had a 1:1 day to concentrate on skills for jumps prior to my Annual trip to the alps. I’m practicing all my skills now and it’s made a massive difference to my DH riding.

I had a great day with Gareth and I learnt a lot. He gave me knowledge, understanding and the ability to have confidence in what I was doing. Clear instruction with support and recorded evidence to help with technique. A great place to learn and reinforce the skills learnt . After some practice from the day I shall be enrolling on to the Progressive Course and learn some more to develop my biking ability. Many thanks to Gareth for the day.

I went on the beginners course yesterday with Gareth and had an absolutely amazing day! Did things that I would never have had the confidence to do before and wouldn't have even looked at! Gareth has a really good teaching style, makes you feel comfortable, includes everyone and encourages you to push yourself when you need to, getting the best out of everyone! I was lucky enough to be with a great group aswell which made the day eve more enjoyable! Well worth booking on if you need to increase your confidence and learn key MTB skills. I will definitely be looking to book on to a progression course to keep improving! 😊

Had a great day on the beginners course today, was lucky to have a great bunch of people on the course as well. Gareth was a brilliant instructor and I believe everyone came away a lot more confident on their bikes and able to do things they wouldn't have done before. Really glad I booked on and would definitely recommend.

It was one of the best day on mtb. I enjoyed it to the bits. I did learn so much. To learn eventually how to bunny hop put a biggest grim on my face for a long time. Highly recommend training with Gareth for beginners and experience riders. Thanks a lot Gareth.

Great day out with Gareth today at Dalby. Many break through moments on the day for me which will take my riding forward. It does go to show you can teach an old dog some new tricks

On behalf of @theparkkilnwick we would like to highly recommend Gareth as a coach. His session with our youth group (Kilnwick Parklings) held at Dalby Forest was exceptional. Gareth pitched the skills session at exactly the appropriate level and was highly professional. Our teenagers are extremely keen for more sessions with Gareth (and we struggle to find activities that they want to try once, let alone repeatedly)!

Great day with Gareth at Dalby today, I wanted to improve my drop offs but got so much more out of the day. I've came away with loads to work on but achieved much more than I expected to. Highly recommend mission mountain biking to anyone at any level who wants to improve there mountain biking.

Awesome day at Dalby forest! Gareth did a tailored course for me and a group of friends, we discussed before what different skills we would like to learn and he designed a bespoke day for us. We all had a really fun day and learnt lots! I'm feeling a lot more confident now and ready to practice my new found skills! If anyone is looking to build their confidence mountain biking Gareth is your man!!

I completed a course with Gareth at Dalby yesterday and had such a great time! I'm not experienced at all and there was a variety of skill mix in our group of friends but he had a great balance of making sure we didn't feel pressured and allowing us see our potential! Did things I never thought I could do! It was great to break the skills down on the field then put it into practice on trails. If you're wondering whether to book a course or not.. definitely do it! Learnt so much in a short amount of time, well worth the money. Thanks Gareth!!!

Me and a friend recently attended a day-long session with Gareth and couldn't recommend highly enough. Gareth was great in advance and tailored the day exactly as we wanted it to be. We've both ridden for a while but really benefited from the day.

After giving Downhill Mountain biking a go on holiday I was keen to get into MTB further, learn the basics and develop some core skills to give me the confidence to head out on my own and with friends. Gareth’s beginner course, lasting a day in the Dalby forest, was brilliant for this. As a newcomer Gareth was extremely accommodating, patient and encouraging, allowing me to build confidence over the day. He was full of enthusiasm and advice regarding bikes and routes, and having travelled to Dalby with a more experienced MTB friend he was happy to extend his advice and offer tailored courses/trips for the future. All in all a great day out and brilliant value for money!

I can't recommend Gareth's coaching enough. I've ridden MTB on and off for years, but I'm always lagging behind at the back and always seem to make hard work of the trail. Gareth took it back to basics, introducing fundamental skills in a nicely planned progression. By the end of the session I was confidently and quickly riding tricky sections and loving it. Gareth loves biking and his enthusiasm rubs off on you. Great coach! Thanks Gareth.
