WHAT RIDERS ARE SAYING ABOUT JOHN
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.

By the way, a few weeks ago I did my first cross country race down in Cap Forest. I placed first in my age group, out of seven! This success was largely due to all the instruction I received from Fluidride. There’s no way that someone was only a few months of mountain biking under her belt could win her age group in a race without some exceptionally awesome coaching. Thank you, so much!!
