MTB Consultant: a different approach to retail and coaching

After successfully creating a new business model in QC, MTB Consultant is now established in the Calgary area.

The story behind MTB Consultant

This is the culmination of a passion stemming from over 30 years of mountain biking on countless trails, being a pioneer in coaching mtb specific skills and working in both the MTB industry and trail networks.

I also hold a master's degree in sports psychology and a trail building certification.

It is with great pleasure that I continue exploring all the latest innovations as often as possible, allowing me to have an opinion based on my own experience. This is how I am able to discover exceptional (or disappointing!) products, and thus be able to better advise you according to your needs.

In short; I have a wealth of experience and expertise to share, especially if you are interested in unique products that stand out from the crowd.

My philosophy:

A bike that has been optimized to meet our REAL NEEDS causes no interference or distraction. It becomes an extension of our own body.
There aren't any bad bikes on the market, but it's easy to make a bad choice!

  • My pricing policy is simple; it's the lowest price allowed by the manufacturer, and I am including applicable taxes and delivery. 

  • I will handle warranty claims on your behalf, for ultra-fast settlement.

FREE COACHING*

My degrees in psychology, and especially sports psychology, allow me to offer a truly unique coaching experience: Helping people overcome their fears, break through mental blocks, and rediscover the joy of riding after a traumatic incident.

Mountain biking is an extraordinary sport, and no one should miss out on it because of a bad experience.

I literally broke my neck in a bike crash in 2018. Did I keep any trauma from that event? Heck no! I'm riding stronger since, but also smarter.

How it works:

A session starts with a quick bike check to make sure everything is safe. Then we go for a ride on a trail where something scares you, and we gradually work together to overcome the obstacle.This allows you to understand your restrictions, adjust your technique (If needed), build confidence and deactivate the traumatic memory.

I am feeling very privileged, and this is my way of contributing :-)

NOTE: *This is truly FREE, but limited to one session per person, and I reserve the right to decline if I judge the request to be irrelevant to my offer or if I am feeling unable to help. Offered to adults only.

Please initiate contact HERE if you would like to book a session.

Life is a beautiful ride!
