Testimonials
"We had a great time with Dan, he really helped push my abilities and improved my confidence hitting bigger jumps, couldn't recommend more!!" - Ben, Tiverton
"As a mum of two boys who are just getting into downhill and MTB, I had no idea where to turn for skills training and advice outside of summer holiday sessions. When I came across Bateson MTB Coaching I was so relieved and lined up a session with Dan straight away to see if this was what my kids needed. The lessons exceeded my every expectation.
Dan has a wonderful manner. He is calm and steady in his delivery and doesn’t bombard you with heaps of information. He inspires the boys to work hard on mastering a skill before moving on to the next, and is a wonderful role model for my kids as a result.
The boys seriously look up to Dan, and are always eager to show him when they unlock new skills. In other words, he left a wonderful impression on both me and the kids, and we will work with him for many years to come so long as he will have us.” - Carrie, London

"Dan is a great rider and a top bloke. He really helped my with my confidence and jumping technique. I was scared of even hitting some tables at speed just because I was unsure of exactly what to do other than go a bit faster and hope a little more!! He broke down the technique and the mind set required to ENJOY jumping and not fearing it. He made the session fun and was really patient. Since that session I have been way more confident, and actually sent some bigger doubles and been all round more confident and therefore faster in all aspects of my riding. Recommended!!" - Tommy, Tiverton

"My riding has improved astronomically whilst training under Dan’s guidance. Dan’s passion for biking shines through in his coaching sessions, which makes lessons very engaging and fun. His patient and calm demeanor allows him to convey information clearly and logically to understand what is required to execute each skill.
​
I would like to thank Dan for all of his help in our time coaching together. I am overwhelmed with my progression made in the past year and I am excited to see what the future holds." - Lacey, Dulverton

"Could not recommend Dan enough! In a matter of hours, my riding developed significantly; completely exceeding my expectations of how much I’d improve in one session! My jumping skills, confidence with drops, and general riding skills developed beyond belief and even better… my partner and I had an epic day doing it! Even my partner (a more confident and skilled rider) transformed his riding in a day! Can’t wait for our next session with Dan! Thank you so much" - Sarah, London
