I will preface this by saying that I have not paid for any sessions with Marc, but have spent time talking to him at various trails.
The information Marc has given me in various 2 minute conversations at a trailhead or shuttle drop off point has been completely transformative to my riding, to the point that I feel personally indebted to him for the joy I experience from becoming a better (and faster!) rider due to these snippets of information and teaching he shares. He has a great way of speaking and explaining techniques and cues at a base level, and is able to build on these things to create complex, yet very understandable lessons that will have you understanding the whys, hows, and reasons for performing these moves and techniques.

Marc is a great communicator and natural instructor, and I left the session feeling really motivated to ride and much more confident in...
Read moreI took part in one of Marc's skills clinics prior to COVID19 restrictions. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable and clear with his communication, explaining and demonstrating with patience.
Even though it was a group setting Marc was still able to give one on one instruction and critique. I got so much out of this session, my riding definitely improved. I look forward to participating in more sessions with Marc at Trail Culture once...
