What Our Riders Say



“On the first day of training, Mat managed to teach me the basics in a calm and clear manner, without any pressure at all. Because the exercises were structured in parallel, everyone was able to practice at their own pace without feeling stressed or overwhelmed. On the second day, I really enjoyed putting what I’d learned into practice on forest roads and trails. Here, too, the motto was “Everything is possible—nothing is required,” and I didn’t feel any stress while riding. We took plenty of breaks and did lots of helpful exercises for all skill levels. Mat is a very calm and patient instructor who manages to meet everyone at their own level—challenging, but never overwhelming, and making learning fun.”

“All in all, two great days—Mat taught the basics on the motocross track in a structured yet relaxed atmosphere. He was always available to answer questions throughout the day, offered valuable tips, and made sure to include plenty of breaks. On the following enduro day, we were able to put what we’d learned into practice right away. We rode on dirt roads, through meadows, through forests, even through water😁 (for those who wanted to) and over more challenging terrain (for those who wanted to). Simply fantastic! I’d love to do more and go further…”
