Private Lessons

Personalized coaching for every rider.

Private lessons pair you one-on-one with a PMBI-certified Evergreen instructor. Sessions are tailored entirely to your current ability, your goals, and the terrain you ride — no curriculum, no waiting for the group, no settling for a skill level that doesn't fit.

Available year-round for juniors and adults. Evergreen members receive priority booking and reduced rates.

What to Expect

A session built
around you.

1

Connect via email

Sessions begin with an email exchange. Your instructor will ask about your goals, current ability level, and where you like to ride — then you'll coordinate scheduling and location.

2

Ride and learn

Your instructor uses video analysis, demonstration, and on-trail practice to help you break through specific barriers. Sessions go deep on the details that group classes don't have time for.

3

Take it home

After your session you'll receive a follow-up email summarizing key takeaways, slow-motion video from the session, and links to further resources to keep your progress going.

Topics we cover

Sessions are customized — common focus areas include:

Cornering Descending Technical climbing Drops & jumps Rock gardens Body position Braking
