Favorite Type of Terrain

The chunky and techy the better.

Favorite Post-Ride Drink

Depending time of day – coffee or beer

Riding Tip

Vision vision vision – trail awareness is one of the most important and I believe one of the most over-looked fundamentals. Effective trail reading is one of the best ways to improve cornering, descending and overall riding.

Favorite Riding Partner

My wife Laurie – although it can get if little embarrassing if she makes it up a climb that I don’t……I won’t live that down for a few days.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?

Vermont – it has everything riding, skiing, water sports, good coffee and great beer.

The intermediate and advanced clinic was very helpful and effective. Easy to follow, a lot of information but somehow I was able to retain it. I think because the instructors present it well. It was very professional and at the same time really fun! ~ Karen B.

I was able to participate in the Sedona 2 day skills camp this past weekend run by Richard and his team and I was absolutely blown away with the outstanding quality and attention given to me to help improve my riding and skills. Richard is a class act and not only has a wonderful ability to teach and instill you with confidence but also keep you humble so you stay safe and don't tackle a skill your not yet ready to conquer. I will no doubt soon be looking to attend my next Ninja camp so I can continue to take my riding to the Ninja level !!! ~Chance Bex

I took the fundamentals 1/2 day works shop in Orange County this weekend and l learned way more than I thought possible. Richard and his team of instructor reinforced all the information with practical application on the mountain. Thus, I was able to put these new skills to practice immediately after the workshop with a post workshop ride and a follow up ride today. I feel more confident and safe to try more technical routes now. I have already signed up for a intermediate/advanced workshop and recruited 3 friends to joint me! ~Eric R.

I participated in the beginner skill clinic at Malibu Creek last Saturday, because I'm truly a beginner who couldn't stop falling down during each mtb ride. The class was small and super fun...and the instructors (Richard and Kris) were informative and dynamic. The clinic was small enough for each member to practice each learned skill and receive immediate feedback. I learned many new skills on that day and felt much more confident with my bike-body connection. I felt so confident that I recently signed up for the Catalina MTB Gran Fondo...the 55 mile route! Woohooo!! The next day, as I was road biking (training for the Solvang Double Century), I dodged a bullet on the Snake/Mulholland by applying my learned mtb skills--a long towing truck went over almost half of our lane on a blind turn as we were descending. Instead of fixating on the truck, I remembered the importance of looking for a clear path and keeping my eyes on where I want to go....Now I understand what people meant when they said that mtb will help improve my road riding skills too! I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn, and I look forward to the next clinic! ~ Uyen N.
