Gabby - Skills Coach

Hi, my name is Gabby and I run the MTB Skills Clinics. I have been riding bikes of differing styles for years but for the past eight or so I have focussed on downhill. During the year I do the coaching every weekend and come January it is off to the NZ Nationals where my buddies and I thrash it out in the NZ downhill Series, and during Winter we head off overseas to race.
