Mike Nimmo – PMBIA I – Gatineau

Expérience

I have been riding in all disciplines for over 20 years in the Ottawa/Gatineau area as well as around the country. In addition to enduro and DH riding I have raced recreationally across QC and BC; in the winter months you can find me on my BMX honing my skills in the indoor park. My past coaching experience includes coaching with MTB camps in the Ottawa area as well as teaching snowboarding at Camp Fortune and Kicking Horse.

Certification

I hold a PMBIA Level 1 Certification and a CASI Level 2 Certification

Philosophie d'entraînement

First and foremost I believe a fun and positive learning environment fosters progress. The job of a coach is to bring simplicity to elements of riding that may feel complex or intimidating; I always strive to teach simple elements and bring them together in a way that supports clients in building capabilities, and confidence on their bike. I want to understand each client’s goals for their own riding and tailor the experience so we can reach them in a safe and fun way.

Une session avec moi vous permettra

A typical session with me would always start with a conversation about what is important to you, where you might want to improve, and what you love about riding. We would then warm up, work on some skills and maneuver based learning, and take that to trail. Practice makes perfect and another key aspect I will focus on is a healthy balance of learning and reps to allow you to feel the change in your riding and receive real-time feedback as you learn new things.
