Testimonials

  • “Robin took me for a one on one session recently and it couldn't have been more valuable! Robin got a gauge of my skill level and my technique before giving me a short skills session on the flat, tweaking my technique to make me more balanced and more in control of my ride. We then took back to the tracks and the change in my confidence was immediate, with Robin keeping an eye on me and giving me awesome feedback as we went, now I just need to practice ! I cannot recommend Robin enough for her skill and coaching, the way she provides feedback and makes for a fun session. Will be booking in again!”

  • “Robin provides specific and actionable feedback that has improved all aspects of my riding. Definitely value for my hard earned money. I get so much more joy out of riding a variety of places now. I have steadily developed the confidence to ride harder terrain. She has a expert eye for assessing about the level of a rider, builds confidence, and is intuitive about the best ways in which to push or pull back to see maximal success. Robin is easy to build rapport with and great company on the trails. Definitely plenty of laughter to be had on the trails. I have progressed from riding blue trails to challenging myself with blacks. I am now able to ride WITH my partner and a variety of biking friends rather than being somewhere behind.”

  • “Thanks Robin for the ladies’ group MTB coaching weekend. I had a fantastic time which was a surprise as I almost didn't go. I thought I would be too underskilled for the group and seriously thought I'd be the one struggling at the back holding everyone up. The reality was that everyone else was in the same boat as me and really just wanted to improve their MTBiking. Regardless of everyone’s skill level, you made it work so that we all improved at our own pace and ability. I loved how you were able to look, assess and come up with a plan on how we could improve individually. There was no judgement or lack of enthusiasm, you were clearly interested in helping us learn and you knew how to do so. I will go forth with heels down, elbows and knees out, eyes up and flow down those trails with a pump and a pop”

  • "The private session was awesome and definitely worth considering to make the most out it. Robin picked up points to work on specific to me and my riding within the first 5min and tailored the entire session to that. The teachings were very clear and she offered a few different points to achieve the same thing and let me figure out which one worked best for me. There were definitely some golden nuggets that made a noticeable difference to my riding and I'm super excited to keep working on them and build on it in future sessions. Invest in a coach, not new gear!"

  • "Robin has a really good way of explaining techniques, skills, and drills so that you understand what the intent of the learning is, she explains why you need to know it and do it. She also makes individualised suggestions, tailored for your riding that gives you in-time feedback that you can action immediately, so that you can experience improvements in your riding in the moment. Robins approach to teaching is supper supportive and engaging, with individualised and differential teaching, and she also fosters a cool-as group dynamic, building confidence and camaraderie within the team."
