I’m Hunter, a PMBIA-certified (Professional Mountain Bike Instructors Association) coach based in Auckland, with a 2-day outdoor first aid qualification.

Growing up, I wasn’t very active and spent too much time online, until a friend convinced me to buy a mountain bike. I sold my gaming console to fund it, and that decision completely changed my life.

At first, I rode endlessly but found progress frustrating. I was guessing techniques, getting things wrong, and often riding alone. What I really needed was guidance, support, and structured coaching, things I couldn’t find at the time.

That’s why I started the coaching service I wish I’d had. Today, as a professionally qualified coach, my mission is to help riders build confidence, master essential skills, and connect with a community of like-minded riders—so they can ride stronger, safer, and with more stoke.
