Matt Brooks

Matt lives in Southeastern Wisconsin, and loves to ride all types of bikes, from mountain bikes, fat bikes, gravel bikes, cruisers, dirtbikes, etc, but his favorite thing to do is hit jumps! He coaches for a local NICA middle/high school team. What he loves the most about being an instructor is seeing how stoked people get when they learn a new skill that they never thought they could do.

Anywhere a single track mountain bike trail begins at one end of my yard, and a dirt bike trail starts at the other half.

Enrolling in the Intermediate/Advanced clinic was the best thing I’ve ever done to improve my speed and ability on the bike.

Just finished a two day skills workshop in Dallas. To say it was the best money I've ever spent on mountain biking would be an understatement.

Well worth your time if you want to improve!
We attended the 2-Day Mountain Bike Skills Camp in Denver CO. I'm a beginner to mountain biking and the class exceeded my expectations. The first day was basic fundamental training from bunny hops to cornering your bike. The second day we put those skills to the test by climbing and downhill at all different skill levels, Richard and Aaron even took video to help improve our skills. Well worth your time if you want to improve!

Highly recommended! Essential riding skills are thoroughly broken down making them easy to understand and learn. Coach Richard and Kris are some of the most professional and pleasant coaches/cyclist/people I have come across. Looking forward to one of their future clinics.
