I’m Hunter, a PMBIA-certified (Professional Mountain Bike Instructors Association) coach from Auckland, and I also hold a First-Aid qualification. Growing up, I struggled with my weight and spent too much time on video games and social media. That changed when a friend convinced me to buy a mountain bike. I sold my gaming console to fund it, and that decision sparked a transformation. I started training, and fell in love with riding. But learning on my own was frustrating. I kept guessing at techniques, hoping to get them right, and struggled to find others to ride with. I needed guidance and a supportive community, so I set out to create the one I never had. Now as a professionally qualified coach, my mission is to help others build confidence on the bike, master key skills, and connect with a like minded riding community so they can ride stronger, safer, and with more stoke.
