John specializes in helping intermediate riders push their abilities to the advanced and expert level.
John has extensive experience teaching and coaching on 2 wheels, from bicycles to motorcycles. For over 10 years, he instructed for a high-performance motorcycle school on racetracks around the country. More recently, John has coached and instructed mountain bike skills with local Washington Student League teams and is also a volunteer instructor for Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance.
As a father of 2 teenage girls and a demanding full-time job, John knows what it’s like to fit riding, racing and/or training into an incredibly busy schedule. He enjoys helping riders find their ideal balance so they can continually improve on the bike, no matter what their goals are, and enjoy everything this amazing sport has to offer.
John also really enjoys instructing newer riders and helping them demystify many of the complex concepts, debunk common misperceptions, and build correct habits from the beginning. All while helping riders stay safe yet challenged, but out of the fear zone, where it’s hard to learn.
Here’s what riders are saying:
“For the first time, I felt like a “mountain biker,” not just a guy riding a mountain bike. You managed to show and tell me how to unlock the next (big) step in cornering and in flowing at speed.”
“John you were God Send. In my culture u have the concept of a Guru…. I found mine. Thank you for everything!”
“I really was pumped when you got me through the entire gravy train set. I haven’t felt that excitement in some time on the bike.”
