Details Announced for 2024 BetterRide MTB Skills Courses
PRESS RELEASE: BetterRide MTB Skills Courses
 | Being an older rider (62) I had a lot of old bad habits to overcome. Gene’s program did a fantastic job tweaking some of my MTB fundamentals. I feel so much more confident and capable in my riding. I ride in a lot of group rides and I use to always be pulling up the rear now I find myself in the middle of the pack! Gene helped to make me the rider I always wanted to be! Thanks Gene |
Are you ready to truly upgrade your riding? You’ve spent time and energy scouring these forums to learn and probably spent a lot of money on better tires, better suspension, lighter wheels, smoother hubs with more engagement, etc. Now it’s time to invest in you!
Gene's students include 85-year-old ripper, Fred Schmidt and many Top Enduro/Downhill racers and Cross Country racers including Cody Kelly, Shawn Neer, Sue Haywood, and Mitch Ropelato.
However, most students are simply passionate riders wanting to gain confidence and have more fun.
If you want to really step up your confidence on the trail and have more fun on every ride, join Gene for one of his Ride Changing 3-Day Courses!
Sign up now at www.betterride.net. Spaces are limited.
Gene has worked with Greg Minnaar 8 times as his guest coach over the last 15 years. He has learned a lot from Greg and would love to share that knowledge with you!
Here they are in his 2010 Bootleg, NV Downhill Course working with McKay Vezina.

REVIEWS FROM PINKBIKE READERS
You can become a much more skilled and confident rider! You may feel that certain trails are reserved for World-Class riders with more nerve or “natural talent” than you. This simply isn't true. What those World-Class riders have is more confidence in their skill set than you.
You will learn the same skills Cody Kelly, Mitch Ropelato and Kialani Hines learned in their courses with Gene. You will also learn the Drills you will use after the course to Master these Skills.
| You don’t need more Nerve or more Experience; you need to learn the Correct Techniques and Practice them. MTB skills aren’t reserved for special people. |
Amazing how close Gene's student, Joey Schusler's form (right) is to World Champ Greg Minnaar's form (left) in his 2011 Downhill/Enduro Course

I’ve taken a few skills clinics over the years. Gene was by far the best. The way he explains what you are trying to do makes so much sense. You will become a better rider. And no, I am not sponsored by Better Ride. I will do another clinic for sure.

Hell yeah Gene, best coach on the planet! I worked with him extensively through my racing, he was instrumental in me being more than excited kid who wanted to go fast, but gave me the tools I needed to help me get to the world cups and world championships and more. Go get a course from Gene, it is singlehandedly the best upgrade to your riding more than any part will ever do

Best camp I’ve ever been to that’s for sure!! Still think back to that camp with y’all at Northstar back in the day. That changed the entire path of my riding. Very grateful for it
