Struggling with front wheel lifts — especially as a smaller, older, or more cautious rider?

While in-person coaching has its benefits, this self-paced online course offers several key advantages, especially when it comes to learning and mastering skills like front wheel lifts:

1. Self-Paced Learning for Long-Term Progress:
   Science shows that motor learning – the process of building new movement patterns – takes time and repetition. It’s not something that can be mastered in just one day. With an in-person session, you might feel like you’ve learned a lot in the moment, but without the ability to revisit and practice progressively, much of that knowledge fades.

With this online course, you can move at your own pace, revisit drills as often as needed, and practice consistently over weeks or months – the timeframes necessary to truly engrain these skills into muscle memory.

2. Structured, Repeatable Practice:
   This course is built on a proven step-by-step methodology, allowing you to focus on one aspect of several front wheel lifts - one at a time. Instead of cramming everything into a single day, you can spread out your learning and ensure each drill becomes second nature before moving on to the next.

3. Accessible Anytime, Anywhere:
   Unlike an in-person course that happens on a specific date and location, this course gives you lifetime access. You can fit your practice sessions around your schedule, repeat sections whenever you need, and take as much time as necessary to master the skill.

By following the structured progressions in this course and committing to regular practice, you’ll experience more consistent and lasting improvements than what’s typically possible in a one-off in-person session. Plus, you avoid the time and cost of travel while still benefiting from a professional, methodical approach tailored to adult learners.

Yes! The techniques are broken down into simple, step-by-step drills to ensure beginners can follow along and progress at their own pace.

Absolutely! Even experienced riders often discover gaps in their technique. This course helps refine your skills, making your lifts more efficient, controlled, and reliable on technical terrain.

No, you can practice the techniques in a flat, safe space like your driveway, yard, or a quiet section of trail. For some lessons you will need a curb or a small ledge.

Yes, all my courses are thoughtfully designed to include adaptations for both traditional mountain bikes and e-bikes.

Additionally, my courses are specifically optimized for adult learners. Unlike children or teens, adults often have different learning curves, physical limitations, and mental barriers when acquiring new skills. My approach focuses on breaking down each skill into manageable, step-by-step drills that align with how adults learn best – allowing for faster and more sustainable progress.

For shorter or less physically strong riders, I’ve incorporated specific adaptations and tips to make the techniques accessible and achievable. Whether it’s adjusting body position, leveraging the bike’s geometry, or modifying the timing of movements, these tweaks are designed to accelerate progress while reducing frustration.

The goal is to create a safe and empowering learning environment where every rider – regardless of height, strength, or bike type – can build confidence, master foundational skills, and achieve their riding goals more efficiently.

No special equipment is required, but flat pedals and flat-soled shoes are highly recommended for safety and control while learning.

Mastering front wheel lifts will help you:

• Navigate roots, rocks, and logs with ease

• Tackle technical trails and obstacles safely

• Conquer technical climbs with more flow

• Improve your bike handling and coordination, which will help you learn more advanced skills faster

• Build confidence and a solid foundation for more advanced techniques like bunny hops and drops (The course covers the front wheel phase of the bunny hop. For the full bunny hop, check out our dedicated Bunny Hop Skills Course)

You’ll get lifetime access, so you can revisit the lessons whenever you need to.
