Dave Thoms, Instructor

“There’s nothing quite like breaking through to a new level of skill and possibility. Getting to be a part of that moment is why I love to teach.”

Dave is a lead instructor with Fluidride and has been coaching with the company for several years. He holds both FIT Level 1 and Level 2 certifications and is a long-time, dedicated student of the Fluidride method. A self-proclaimed mountain bike technique geek, Dave can talk for days about body position, braking, cornering, and all things MTB technical.

Dave is especially passionate about working with riders who feel stuck, whether because of fear, ingrained habits, or other barriers, and finds great satisfaction in helping them break through and build confidence.

Off the bike, Dave brings that same thoughtful, analytical approach to his work in finance, where he’s building a company to support people in improving their financial health.

Says Simon Lawton: “Dave is passionate and always interested in learning more about both his riding and his teaching. He's always looking to improve—both on the bike, and in life.”
