Cracking day up Dalby with Steve, everything I was worried about and unsure about he put me right. Showed and explained everything nice n simple for what we covered.
Would highly recommend without... any hesitation.
Thank you Steve.read more

We went and did a mechanics course yesterday with Steve and it was brilliant. We have some very basic knowledge, but lacked confidence in fixing our bikes and would always take them to the shop.
We... sent Steve a list of things we wanted to cover before the course and he was very good at responding to questions/emails before the course.
On the day he provided food and clearly explained and went through everything with us. Really enjoyed the day, feel much more confident in tackling issues with my bike. Well worth going if you want to learn how to sort your bike out and save money on bike shops costs. Obviously bikes shops are great for more complex tasks, especially if you have a carbon bike. Thanks Steve. Highly recommendread more

Recently had some coaching from Steve with a couple of mates.
As we were a small group and simile standard of rider, we managed to get through quite a lot in the day.
Steve helped us in the areas... we asked for help and I feel much more confident on rocks and drops, helping me to be smoother and more in control.
I managed to do certain features I’ve never attempted before.
I look forward to using the skills out on the trail and building on themread more

Took my bike for a service this week, only just managed a ride this morning and it runs perfect. Still a bit of chain rub on the front derailleur but to be fair that’s probably down to my chain set... being slightly warped. Nice, knowledgable guy that knows his stuff. Will definitely be going back for my next service.read more

Just finished an afternoon of trail skills with Steve. The group had a mix of abilities from relatively experienced riders to novices but Steve managed to pitch it really well for all. I've been... riding for quite a few years but took on some great tips that had an immediate impact on my riding.
Was a great value, very worthwhile course. Thanks Steve!

Spent the day with Steve yesterday at Dalby Forest learning the fundamentals of Mountain Biking. I'd never been any further off road than my local canal towpath before yesterday but by the end of the... day I was happily riding the various features of the sections of red route we were doing. Steve communicates the techniques well and provides great feedback and encouragement throughout the day. Steve provided great value for money and an enjoyable dayread more

I would definitely recommend a skills session. Steve explained everything really clearly and didn't bombard me with things to think about. I feel much more able now and it was a real confidence... booster after a nasty accident. I'm looking to do the guided route or more advanced techniques next time!read more

Great group session at Dalby. Steve helped me overcome some of my fears allowing me to tackle more advanced and steeper sections, which I would normally bottle out of. Definitely will return👍.

Good day with Steve getting back to basics. Don’t think I’ve ever had a day of sessioning basics over and over with somebody giving constructive advice, surprisingly difficult after years of building... up bad habits. Have gone away with lots to focus on and practice.read more

Just had a brilliant day with Steve from Chasing Trails. His tuition was great, not just what to do on the bike but why too.
Home now muddy and tired but worth it for a fantastic day - always a good... sign when the shower has a silt left after :)
Definitely recommend Chasing Trails for improving your riding!read more

I had a fabulous day with Steve last week, learned so much from it I’ll take months to process it all.
He’s a great teacher, taking things at a pace where I could feel confident in one essential... skill before moving on.
I learned the basics of speed control, negotiating drop offs, berms, rocks, bunny hops etc and though I didn’t master them it gave me the knowledge and confidence to practice on my own.
Next time out i rode 9 miles of Dalbys reds with my brother in law, I could never have done that confidently beforehand.
Whatever level you’re at I’m absolutely sure a day with Steve is money well spent!

I've been riding MTB for about 20 years and felt I just needed a bit of help to shake of a few bad habits/techniques I'd picked up over the years.
I went on a Jumps and Drops course in late August... and since then I've been practising what we went through and can safely say it's made a massive difference to my speed and enjoyment of riding, particularly over drops and downhill generally.
I rode the Marin trail and both loops at Penmachno last weekend and was able to put into full use the techniques Steve taught me.
Steve is an excellent teacher who imparts his knowledge and experience in a very effective and patient way.
I'll certainly be returning in the not too distant future.read more

Spent a great day on a women's foundation course yesterday. Steve was a very patient guy and explained things very clearly. There is nothing he doesn't know about mountain biking, both theory and... practice, and he knows the Daulby trails like the back of his hand! As a novice I personally found some elements challenging but this was more down to my level of fitness rather than the course content. I now feel more confident on my bike and would definitely recommend the course to others wanting to gain good fundamental mountain biking skills. Thanks Steve!read more

A fabulous day's coaching at Dalby with Steve who not only got the kids and me jumping in a jolly way but also managed to turn Mrs T into a down-hiller with aptitude!
All done in a quiet ... common-sense way that made learning as easy as turning a pedal. We're all just itching to put everything we've picked up into practice.read more
