Quality MTB coaching - Ben did a great job getting our bikes tweaked and understanding our needs and skill levels. Provided us with the knowledge to understand the essential technique required for body position and cornering so we could go away and practice before coming back for the next session. Would recommend to anyone looking to improve their MTB skills now matter what level your at.

5 Star MTB Lessons with Ben Forbes - The private and group coaching sessions with Ben are fantastic. He covers everything from bike setup through to beginner and intermediate skills. My 10 year old loves his lessons and talks about them for days. I've been so impressed as a dad that I'll be booking in my own lessons soon too!!!

Top Notch MTB Coaching - Our session with Ben was amazing and we learnt so much to improve our riding. Ben is a very friendly guy and a thorough professional when it comes to MTB. There are a lot of good riders out there but not many that can teach. Ben's ability to break down a new technique into easily digestible chunks that the student can practice is unparalleled. Highly recomended to anyone who wants to become a better rider.

Awesome MTB coaching session a Gap Creek - My recent MTB coaching session with Ben provided me with a platform of fundamental skills on which to build my competence and confidence. Ben is a coach who listens as much as he teaches and he adapted his approach to suit my own learning style, which made the session much more valuable. I strongly recommend Forbes MTB for coaching if you are a beginner starting out or an intermediate rider who has plateaued and wants to go further.

Valuable session with lots of takeaways - Had a session with Ben and gained a lot from it. Ben worked with me on my bike set up through to my riding style and how to improve. Ben’s coaching style was great, he watched me on a few trails and personalized the session around my skills. The way he explained concepts and followed up with demonstrations and coached you through doing the same helped me to grasp the skills. I have been riding for a few years on weekends by myself and wish I had done this session sooner as I feel far more comfortable on my bike now I will definitely book in for another session, well worth it
