Teaching Mountain Bike Skills: The Skills Training Manual for NICA Coaches

This bike nicely covers bike setup, pedalling technique, cornering and most facets of mountain bike riding. I've been riding for years, and read Lee and Brian Lopes Mastering Mountain Bike Skills 2, which is another great book, and I picked up plenty of tips that have been great on the trail.It breaks down each skill and technique into easily understandable steps, drills and skill components, with nice photos to complement each one. If you are an experienced rider you will pick up something that will help your riding, and if you are a new rider, this book is a must read.I'm not a coach, but this book has helped me give clear instructioins friends that are new to MTB riding, and I imagine would be helpful if you are a coach as well.Get it, and you will rip on the trails.

This is a good guide for those new to teaching MTB skills. Lots of detail on attack position and braking drills. I would have liked more drills and breaking-down info on other basic skills (eg gear selection, climbing seated vs standing). The introductory section is aimed at high school MTB coaches which is not relevant to my situation (coaching women). But overall this book is useful for beginner skills instructors.

first of all, I'm not a coach, but just a rider who wants to get better.For me, This book stressed some of the most important concepts and skills in a way that is easier to understand and implement.Also, it provides some drilling techniques for these skills which is something I missed in "mountain bike skill 2nd edition" and I believe can really improve my riding (and already had to some degree).

I was expecting tips for more advanced skills but even then the quality of the contents is flawless

Its a nice book, if jou are a mtb trainer allready its maby to simpel.When jou are a starting mtb trainer its ok.
