About Us

5.0 (28 reviews)
Christsonthy started mountain biking in 2014, and dove head first into riding on the technical single track that Central Vermont serves up! To say mountain biking changed Christsonthy's life is an understatement! After only a few years she started racing in the local Eastern States Cup race series, but quickly realized her passions lie in coaching & instructing, and she became a PMBI Certified Mountain bike skills coach in 2018! Now, she splits her time between the North East Kingdom of Vermont & Knoxville, Tennessee! ​ Christsonthy is fueled by finding the FUN in every aspect of coaching and her riding! She loves progressing on her bike, learning new tricks and her two doggies June and Huck!

Trip: VT- 2 Hr - One on One Lesson with Christsonthy

Guide: Christsonthy D.

Christonthy is amazing, and I'm so glad I finally decided to get a lesson! The positivity that they brought was next level, and really helped my confidence grow over the course of the lesson. Learning from a 3rd party is sometimes the best for learning. I was taught different techniques than I had been told before, that just made sense to me, so I walked away from my lesson feeling like my skills had progressed quickly, and my confidence in those new skills grew. Definitely take a lesson! Totally worth it!!!

Had the most amazing day learning SO many new skills. Christsonthy is patient and tailors the lesson to your riding ability, learning style, and makes skills easy to understand. Can’t wait to book another lesson.

Trip: 6 Week Skills Series- Kingdom Trails!

Guide:

After only a couple of weeks in to this six week coaching clininc I am already noticing a difference in my riding. Christsonthy presents in a language we understand rather than loading us with technical jargon. Although she does provide the technical terms, she offers a relatable word or phrase that is more retainable and quickly recalled when practicing skills. She has a true gift of coaching a group at different levels in skill/confidence without pressuring a true beginner or boring someone with more experience trying to hone their skills. I have participated in other group clinics and had private instruction and would by far recommend Blue Sky.

Trip: VT- One on One Lesson with Christsonthy

Guide: Christsonthy D.

I had the absolute pleasure of having a 1 on 1 lesson with Christsonthy and I could not have imagined a better experience. She was phenomenal, providing constructive feedback, demonstrations and encouragement. Christsonthy was so friendly and extremely easy to talk to. I left my lesson feeling so empowered and excited to jump into the mountain biking scene and to really give it a try. Do not hesitate to sign up, I received so many recommendations for her and she lived up to the hype. The value you get from the time you will have with her will leave you feeling so excited about this sport. I cannot recommend enough.

Trip: VT- One on One Lesson with Christsonthy

Guide: Christsonthy D.

As a new rider, I told Chistsonthy that I needed to learn *everything* starting with the very basics. She nailed it! We started with learning the different parts of my bike, what each part was for, and how to properly care for my bike. Next we moved on to posture and skills that would help me ride safely and lay a foundation for improving my riding. We implemented these skills and added on as Christsonthy taught me how to ride a berm and take advantage of rollers most efficiently. She offered to work on drops with me, and had me comfortably and safely dropping in minutes. We ended the lesson with a ride where I got to put together all the skills and knowledge I had learned over the last few hours. I could not be happier with lesson! Christsonthy is a fun, patient, and knowledgeable teacher who is an absolute asset to our community. Thank you!
