VNTRbirds

I could live out my life riding flow trails all day, but sometimes, you have to work on the hard stuff so you can get down the tricky sections. When I saw the VNTRbirds Steep + Tech clinic at Keystone, geared specifically toward intermediate and advanced riders, I knew I needed to sign up.

Cada vez que me subo a los pedales con VNTRbirds, recuerdo por qué me enamoré del ciclismo de montaña y por qué lo disfruto tanto. Every time I clip into my pedals with VNTRbirds, I’m reminded of why I fell in love with mountain biking in the first place and why I enjoy it so much.

I was still questioning my own mountain bike skills and whether or not I was good enough to coach. Another season went by, my wife became a certified coach and we continued our involvement with VNTRbirds, all the while I continued to work on progressing my own skills so I would feel comfortable supporting newer riders and demonstrating skills. So this past spring when the VNTRbirds mentorship scholarship opened, I knew I was finally ready to apply.
