Chasing Trails

I did a one day bike maintenance course with Steve and it was great. The tuition was 1:1 which really enabled me to be hands on with every aspect of the bike, it’s components and the practical maintenance of them. Steve is incredibly knowledgeable about all things ‘bike’ and was very good at explaining how everything worked. A great day that gave me the groundwork to go and complete a Level 2 Bike Mechanic course. Thoroughly recommend using Steve if you want to be able to properly maintain your own bike (or go one to maintain other people’s!).

Booked the half day jumps and drops course for my stepson and I. We had a brilliant time and Steve is an excellent and very very patient teacher. His mtb knowledge seems almost endless. Everything is explained in an easy to understand way. He demonstrates everything and then explains. With good valid critique of what went well and what you could improve on. Will definitely be booking more sessions with him when I'm back Dalby way.

I booked a full day with Steve for me and my girlfriend learning the basics of mountain biking. I've done some mountain biking many years ago but my girlfriend is new to it. What a fabulous, patient and extremely knowledgeable instructor Steve is.Nothing was too much trouble for him and we both had a awesome day of learning. He gradually increased the skills through the day and by the end we were learning some more advanced techniques on the red trails.I would highly recommend anyone wanting to learn new skills or improve their techniques to book some coaching with Steve, you will not be disappointed.Thanks Steve for your patience and for giving us a great day out.Many thanks,Richard & Diane.

Had a full day one-to-one with Steve, going through core mtb skills. Learnt so much with Steve. Amazing ability to explain in a way that is easy to understand, and great attention to detail. Have done bits and bobs of mtb before but never really knew what I was doing - feel like I have gained so much skill and confidence in just one day. Looking forward to getting back on the trails!

I.m lucky, I had a 1:1 cycle maintenance course and a 1:1 skills riding course, first the maintenance day was carried out at a pace that I could follow easily, everything explained without technical jargon I felt really comfortable and much better prepared to carry out work on my own bike, a fab day, thank you Steve, then the days 1:1 skills improvement riding day, held in the beautiful Dalby Forest, a great days coaching carried out, in a manner I easily could cope with, no pressure to try and do stuff that might get you into trouble, vary valuable day improving my riding skills I only wished I had done this type of course years ago, overall 2 brilliant days thanks to Steve at Chasing Trails. Highly recommended

Excellent maintenance course. I’ve literally gone from not knowing how to do anything to changing a chainring on my own thanks to Steve’s expert tuition and course. It was a full day and we did loads of jobs together. It’s a great feeling when you make a big change to your bike yourself. Thanks Steve. Amazing job

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 recommend

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 day
