"Thanks again for another outstanding class and continuing to challenge me to get outside my comfort zone, techniques I need to focus on and for the support. Looking forward to looking at my schedule to get another one of your classes in my books and getting back to my mountain bike!" –Laura R.

"Thank you Elaine!! Looks like the coaching paid off... I had three personal records at Duthie. I didn't feel like I was going fast. And the dirt is super loose. Hit that descending radius correctly to open it up. Went slower to go fast. Less pedal more pumping. What I thought was my fast run wasn’t. What was my relaxed let it flow run was. :) The green jump/drop/table lines were great. And I was able to do the 4 drops over by the pump track with no issues. The North Shore in BC was a blast. I was able to get down everything without freaking out at all. Again, THANK YOU!!" –Mike L

“Thank you so much for taking the effort to work with all of us. You were so wonderful! The skills were fantastic and excellent building blocks. You might be one of THE most patient persons I have ever met :) I really appreciated that you broke everything down into simple achievable steps, and even though you are a bad-ass rider, never made us feel that we were less-than for being scared or newbies to the sport. Very encouraging. Cheers!" —Leah
