Pete Calnan - XC Team Mentor

Our very own Storm Trooper - Pete has been racing and winning cross country events for years, technically very competent he is always one of the fastest down the hill combined with the heart of an elephant, Pete is the right guy to look after the team.


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.
