Hi I'm Steve. I run Real World Riding which focusses on supporting riders of all standards in achieving their goals, be it skills based or just having more fun on the bike. Although I do train commuting skills, I Specialise in MTB coaching.

I specialise in building confidence alongside skill levels, and as a L2 DSU Mountainbike Coach and Level 3 Mtb Leader I utilise the trails best suited to the skill level of my clients to help them progress with confidence. I coach 'normal' riders to help them increase their enjoyment of riding from basics to Enduro and DH technique, and also coach some youth Enduro racers.

Most coaching events involve an element of riding trail in order to utilise the skill being developed in a relaxed and appropriate atmosphere, and I also coach associated skills to increase independence for riders and enthuse them for exploring trails in the hills and mountains as well as at the trail centre.

I am able to coach short evening sessions, some half days, full days and multi-day programmes youth and adult 1:1 and up to 1:6.
