About Your Coach

With jzmtb.com, why should I coach you if you’re a beginner, novice or intermediate rider? Well, despite my (semi) advanced age, I’ve only been riding since 2015. So I still clearly remember the pain (physical and mental) when I got started like you are now. I’ve improved from total newbie to recently completing the 12 hour solo El Doce race at Powder Mountain at the age of 56.
I was initially self-taught through trial and error. Not a lot of errors, but I did have a few big and painful ones. After about 3 years, I finally wised up and invested in some coaching lessons myself – that’s when I realized all the poor habits I had and all the habits and skills I didn’t have which I needed to make me a much safer rider. I will help you avoid the same mistakes I made and also help you reach whatever riding goals you have (no matter the size of those goals).
All this recent experience allows me to customize my coaching to meet your specific needs for that lesson.
If this sounds like where you are, and want to ride more safely, have more fun, go a little faster and/or just feel less fear on your bike, let me help you get there. Mountain biking doesn’t need to be extreme or dangerous: learn the fundamentals of safe, confident and fun riding. Let’s ride and enjoy all the beauty that our Utah mountains have to offer – book a lesson with me today!
I provide mountain bike coaching/lessons throughout Weber County Utah including the Ogden Utah area, Snowbasin, Powder Mountain, North Fork Park, Huntsville and Eden Utah.

#1: Private Coaching for the Price of a Group Clinic
What if you could achieve massive improvements with a private coaching session at the price of a group clinic? Now you can!

* By The Numbers: You'll find most quality group clinics for about $150-$225 for 3 hours. With a group clinic, you'll conservatively be actively learning and getting coached two thirds of the time (likely much less). So that's actually a 2-hour clinic that you're getting, not a 3-hour clinic. With my private 2-hour coaching, you will invest the same dollar amount (or much less) yet achieve those massive improvements that are rare to see in a group clinic.
#2: Learn to Self-Coach
Simply put, I'm going to teach you how to be your own coach. With every skill we work on, through the use of key cues, I'm going to show you how you can tell if you are doing it correctly, consistently and comfortably. This will allow you to consistently improve without me by your side. One lesson with me can last indefinitely!
