“Shannon's mountain bike retreat was a game changer for my bike confidence and skills. I've been to multiple other women's bike clinics and have never come away feeling this excited and accomplishing as much as I did with Shannon as a coach.

IT IS ALSO going to impact my mindset AND SELF-TALK well into the future and given me a new perspective. Thank you Shannon!"

“If you have any fear or anxiety around mountain biking, this is your pathway to success. I've had a few crashes which can fill me with hesitancy on TECH features. I not only learned how to climb up ledges, we also worked through my anxiety on descents by practicing mindset and visualization techniques. Now I'm enjoying myself on the bike SO MUCH MORE and riding more features!"

"Shannon is a fantastic coach. I found it extremely helpful for her to analyze my technique on the trail and with video review, so she could give me customized tips.
Plus, shannon's unrelenting positive demeanor is infectious; a great reminder that learning and practicing is fun!”
Claire, Lander, WY
“I had a 4-hour lesson with Shannon and it was wonderful! She called me before to learn about my skill levels and goals. she chose trails that aligned with my goals and my skill level. Shannon was able to point out things that I could change to help me tackle obstacles, and she was patient as I worked through trail features. I most wanted to work on drops, and I made a lot of progress in one lesson! To top it all off, Shannon is a lovely human who is just fun to be around. I felt like I had a new friend at the end of the lesson 🙂 Highly recommend!"
