WHAT RIDERS ARE SAYING ABOUT DAVE
I am on cloud nine and could not help but tell you what a difference you made in my riding even just this week. I attached the map of a portion of trail I just completed a few minutes ago. Tons of tight back-to-back switchbacks clinging to the side of a hill and I did them all without panicking or walking my bike once. That is a miracle if you would have seen me try them a week ago.

Griffin had a great time! He learned a lot, had a ton of fun, and is a better rider now. Kudos to Dave too especially as Griffin really appreciated his approach. The only downside to all of this of course is that I can no longer keep up with Griffin on the trail!

Took Trail Essential’s with instructors Dave and John. Learned a few things about riding position that should improve my riding. I knew I wasn’t doing something right but didn’t know what until taking the class, really helps to have someone watch you and point out how to correctly do it. Well worth it even if you’ve been riding a while.
