BetterRide w/Gene Hamilton, XC MTB Skills Course event

Ready to race FASTER, ride with more CONFIDENCE, ride more EFFICIENTLY, and SHAVE MINUTES off your race times?

The best athletes in the world across all sports disciplines spend less than 20% of their training time actually doing the sport, the other 80% of their time is spent on structured drills to master the core, fundamental skills of the sport.

Gene has spent 33 years coaching and developing this course to help you. This is not a “follow a pro rider down a trail” course.

His course is structured, drill-based, and a lot of work. It is designed to help you continue to improve long after it’s over. This is an intense learning experience.

He has coached many of the best US racers: National Champions Mitch Ropelato, and Jackie Harmony, EWS stars Cody Kelly, Shawn Neer, and McKay Vezina, Olympic BMX Sliver Medalist Mike Day, National Dual Slalom Champion Luca Cometti and over 100 more pro downhill and Enduro racers.
