Paul Howard has been coaching mountain bikers all around the world for over 20 years now. He’s a co-founder of the Professional Mountain Bike Instructors Association (PMBIA) and is the owner and head coach at ZEP Mountain Bike Camps in Whistler.
In this episode, Paul shares the #1 skill mountain bikers actually need to work on, and how that’s often different from the skills they think need improvement. We talk about mountain bike skills myths, how mountain bike skills and fitness are related, and whether watching videos online can be a substitute for in-person skills coaching. Paul also fills us in on the PMBIA and its role in improving coaching in the mountain bike world.

That was a fantastic interview. To the point that I have a spreadsheet open listing about 20 lines of notes. Incredibly informative, to the point that I’m going to have to do a ground up rebuild of my understanding of mountain biking and progression strategy. And yes, it will now include a coach. Thanks guys!
