I honestly can’t recommend MTB Skills Factory enough! It was unbelievable the amount of progress and confidence I’ve gained in working with these guys. I’ve been lucky to work with both Maggie and Josh and both are excellent teachers who really care about making you a better rider.

Trip: Intro to Jumping Clinic at Kanuga
Guide: Christsonthy D.
Was an incredible experience! Really broke down the fundamentals of jumping and made me feel so very comfortable and confident in learning new skills that have been very challenging to learn on my own. Can't wait to take another class in the future!

Trip: Women's Cornering Clinic
Guide: Whitney H.
Loved having a couple of hours to focus on and explore/experiment with cornering techniques. The clinic helped me realize and apply 3 subtle changes to my cornering position and technique which have lead to immediate improvements in my cornering at speed with momentum -- which is exactly what I wanted! Within the week following the clinic, I enjoyed new PRs on Black Mtn descent in Pisgah, as well as Big Rock and Burnt Mtn descents in Dupont. Thanks for the new skills and the confidence boost!
