BetterRide with Gene Hamilton ups the ante again by joining forces with Marla Streb to put on the best mountain bike skills coaching in the US.

Mount Snow, Vermont: The BetterRide/Marla Streb Downhill Camp will take place on August 25 to 27. This camp is limited to ensure the optimal athlete coach ratio of 7 to 1. This is an amazing opportunity to learn from one of the most talented racers in the sport and her long time training partner Gene Hamilton.

Marla has recently started joining Gene as a guest coach in his BetterRide camps. Their first camp together in January sold out and was a big hit with the riders.

“My first run down the mountain was on a trail that I had ridden many times before. Gene was following me half way down (to see if I was really paying attention) and it was my best run ever!!! That one run alone was worth the fee for the clinic, I was so impressed with what I had learned so far! And talking about someone that knows, the highlight of the clinic (how about my life) for me was getting several chances to ride behind Marla. She is so fast and makes it look so easy it’s almost like watching a ballerina on a bike it was amazing and very helpful for me.” -Chris Shelley

Designed for downhill racers, this Downhill Camp focuses on core skills, course inspection, finding the fast “pro” lines, memorizing the course and mental preparation and FUN. This camp will help racers shave 30 seconds or more off their race times (guaranteed).

When: August 25-27, 2005
Where: Mount Snow Vermont
Who: 10-14 lucky racers
