The Ability to Coach MTB Skills Remotely! Matt & Rohan from BrakeAce and Nick (our Athlete)
Season 1 · Episode 24
lundi 22 juillet 2024 • Duration 01:13:48
Remote coaching is here. See how it went with Nick and the creators of BrakeAce. Not only are we talking more about braking, but we also did something pretty awesome. I used BrakeAce to coach Nick remotely. I didn't ride with him at all, he recorded his rides with BrakeAce and Strava - so I could see some common themes with his riding correcting some bad habits and encourage the good ones. He kept cracking PB's on strava and the results were awesome! The chat is pretty good too.
Learn more about the Remote Coaching Here on the NZMTB website.
Check out the video where I linked up with Matt and we did a session integrating science and coaching to help Matt's riding.

In this episode, I chat with Garry Sullivan who has been local to Rotorua for over 20 years and absolutely loves the place. We hear about the first mountain bikes to grace the Whakarewarewa Forest and how the trails evolved with the bikes. Gaz is always stoked to be on his bike and empower others to do the same! He started an apparel company 25 years ago for mountain bikers because there just wasn't anything suitable to wear. The Dobies becoming mountain bikers' uniforms and are still available 25 years later.
