Trip: 2 hr Private Lesson - Jumps or Drops - Kanuga - Assistant Coach
Guide: Christsonthy D.
Sonthy was a great instructor. We worked on some fundamentals around braking and positioning and applied them to some very technical trails. Will be back after we hone the skills she showed us.

Josh was amazing! My wife and I learned so much. He took the time to explain everything in detail, correcting us, and showing us new skills. We then applied everything we learned from Josh at other parks/trails during our trip. We would definitely use MTB Skills Factory again!

Trip: 3hr Private Lesson - Green and Blue Rated Trails at Ride Kanuga
Guide: Maggie R.
Maggie was great. She listened to my concerns and was patient the entire time. Her suggestions to improve were on point. She didn’t rush the process and didn’t move too slow. The next time we come back to visit, we will probably request her for our two younger bikers.

Tons of fun! Awesome coaches and coarse! You will definitely learn with the progression style of the ramps how to jump higher with more confidence!

Great intro class to jumping! Left way more confident in all aspects... approach and set-up, take off, in the air, and landing. Coaching was perfect, and class was taught in a very comforting manner, at each riders pace, and perfect progression. I've taking classes where I was left feeling like I didn't learn much or progress. Not only did I learn a lot, but got to that "stretch" point where I was jumping bigger than ever. Highly recommend!

Truly awesome experience! Great follow up class to the beginner class that not only built upon what was learned, but took them to the next level. Coach Ben was knowledgeable, patient, and an overall great teacher! Well worth it!
