HEARD ON THE TRAIL

At the end of our fabulous vacation in fruita my husband said "The best thing we did was schedule you that half day private lesson the first morning!" You know it was helpful when the guy you've been riding with for over 10 years comments on how much improvement he saw. Momentum made it easy to schedule the lesson and fill out the questionnaire, and then set up the perfect coach, terrain, and focus for me. My coach Tina was so fun and helpful. She had read my self assessment and goals ahead of time and quickly assessed my skill and mindset in person. She knew just when to encourage and challenge me, and just when I needed a break. She was highly skilled in both verbally and physically teaching mountain biking and knew the trails like the back of her hand. My biking improved a ton and I had more fun challenging myself while we were in Fruita. My husband said his time waiting for me was cut in half! On my end that felt like I had the confidence and new approaches to trying features that I would have walked or been hesitant on in the past. Now that I'm home I've gone on a couple rides and I'm able to easily clear so many more sections of trail that I was 50/50 on before, I see so many more lines as options, and I've tried more obstacles that before didn't make any sense to me. I can't say enough good things about Momentum Mountain Biking!

Excellent instruction, great day and great improvement on my riding skills! Look forward to additional learning in the future.

Exactly the experience I was seeking! I took a half-day guided tour. Momentum's pre-ride questionnaire was easy to fill out, and asked all the right questions to match me with the length and amount of challenge to make the ride epically fun and memorable for my first ride at Moab!

Jonathan Atwell was a great coach and we had a great time.

We had the best experience taking our high school group to mountain bike in Moab with Momentum Mountain Biking. Sylvie and the crew helped us gain new skills and confidence on the trails. They picked the perfect trails for us to ride with our newly acquired skills and taught us all about the geology and ecology as we went along. All of the guides were top notch and medically trained to deal with anything that may happen out in the trails. It was the best experience of our trip!

Had an awesome day of riding advanced trail. My skills definitely improved and by the end of the day I was feeling much more confident on making hard moves!

Had an amazing 3 day 1:1 Mtn bike skills clinic with Coach Kim! Very helpful with taking my mtn bike skills to the next level! Kim communicated and demonstrated multiple key points to mtb basics that allowed me to grow and enjoy riding my mtb.

Instructor Jeff Lefebve Felt he was very good. Explained and demonstrated techniques numerous times, positive constructive criticism, and provided lots of praise and patience.

I was lucky enough to attend a women's mountain biking retreat hosted by Momentum & Shredly in Park City, Utah and it was phenomenal. The coaches were all superb and helped my mtb skills grow exponentially in just a few days! My goal was to get wheels off the ground for jumping, which happened for me (woohoo!), and SO MUCH MORE. We got amazing drops and jumps and technical uphill riding instruction, and all of the basics were reviewed for good measure as well. A whole ton of fun and learning. Your riding will improve. Highly recommended!

Great experience!

Took a half-day private lesson with Jeff. He is amazing! I learned a ton about my bike, how to ride over rocks and turn on gravel, and how to up my game on the trial. Really worth it!
1666222107
Momentum Mountain Biking was an awesome experience! Before coming to Moab, the team was very responsive on FB messenger, helping me understand how many lessons was right for me and how much travel I should get on my rental!The lessons themselves were great and my instructor, Jeff, was fantastic. I did two full-day lessons back to back and have absolutely zero regrets. Jeff was easy to communicate with and logistics were seamless. When it came to actually instructing, Jeff was both extremely supportive, helping me celebrate my wins, but also great at providing tactical tips (he would routinely try new strategies with me, build things back down and back up, until we would find something that clicked). I made amazing progress over the two lessons and couldn't be happier with the experience.

Jonathan determined my skill level immediately and provided excellent instruction to help me level up. Awesome day!
1663711503
Awesome experience. It was great to learn new skills and put them immediately into practice. I am a beginner and it was definitely worth to take a lesson - I felt comfortable and safe throughout the ride and had so much fun. Sylvi has a great personality and is very knowledgeable about biking. Thank you Momentum Biking for the wonderful time!
1663209497
I booked a private lesson to learn basic techniques of mountain biking, and to feel comfortable with rocks and a bit more speed/control. I received all of this and more. Sylvi was an excellent instructor and was very attentive. She gave me the confidence I needed to achieve my goals for the day. I rode away with new “tools” in my bag and the excitement to use them.
1660775489
My husband and I had an awesome lesson with Shelly! We focused on fundamental skills and built confidence throughout the lesson. Shelly was great at giving instructions in a way that was approachable to us - e.g. by relating certain body positions on the bike to skiing. Scheduling a lesson was very easy. I would love to take another lesson with Momentum!

Virginia was excellent, patient and most of all used her experience to help me progress on the drops from my previous skill set.

My coach Beth was fantastic! She is very professional, direct and constructive with her feedback. Beth truly loves her job and takes coaching very seriously. You will come out of your training session at least a level or two more advance!

Great instructors and easy to work with. I had a lovely experience both with planning and on the trails with this rockin’ group of mountain bike enthusiasts!
1651185904
We had an top notch experience, all the way from the booking process, through a few changes we needed to make to our plans, and ending with a five star private group lesson with Jeff. Each person we interacted with provided incredible customer service and the skills we learned during the coaching session has given us great techniques to progress our riding. If you are venturing to the Moab or Fruita area I would highly recommended planning time in your trip to take a course with Momentum Mountain Biking, you won’t regret it!
