Please see this link for information on Queenstown's newest mountain biking attraction!
I have been sponsored by Skyline Gondola for years and am stoked that the Ben Lomond Forest is now open for all mountain bike riders. The trails are undoubtably some of the best tracks in the Southern Hemisphere. I am hugely passionate about how great the tracks are and the potential that Skyline has in becoming one of the world leading mountain bike destinations.
With Skyline Gondola access you can now ride downhill runs all day and practice the skills that you have learned from Mountain Bike Performance. If you have not yet attended a Mountain Bike Performance skills session, then now is the perfect time to do so!
I hope to see you all up on the Skyline Gondola Ben Lomond Forest tracks!

Hello Mountain Bikers!
The competitions and events are fast approaching us, this is the perfect time to begin a training program or to develop your skills for the 2011 mountain bike season. I have been running mountain bike group and individual coaching sessions throughout the lower South Island.
This is a new and improved website for the start of another great mountain bike season. Bookings have been flowing in as lots of new mountain bikers are finding out how awesome the sport really is. The introduction of the four new mountain bike skill modules has given riders a goal to complete all four. A couple of months of practice is recommended between each module. Due to the large amount of riding skill content that we cover it takes a while to practice all of the skills. The four skill modules are more structured and make learning easier than ever before. You are able to choose the specific time that you would like to complete the module. Booking is easy and can be done through the contacts page of this website.
This 2011 season has seen as increase in the number of cross country riders completing the Mountain Bike Performance modules. I have recently returned from a weeks coaching in Queenstown and am currently running skills sessions in the Dunedin area. It is great to see riders improvements, and to see how safe their riding can become following the first mountain bike skills module.
I look forward to seeing you out on the trails this Summer!
