Grow Your Own Coaching
Becoming a certified mountain bike instructor is just the beginning. Great coaching comes from curiosity, reflection, and a commitment to growing both your riding and your ability to connect with others.
These workshops are designed for coaches who want to go beyond techniques and step more fully into their role as thoughtful, adaptable, rider-centered professionals.
At Radical Roots MTB, we believe coaching is about more than skill instruction—it’s about building trust, fostering agency, and creating environments where riders can truly progress.
In this hands-on, collaborative session, you’ll:
Refine your understanding of technical mountain bike skills—and how to teach them effectively
Strengthen your approach to error detection through curiosity, not just correction
Practice coaching strategies that prioritize rider agency, confidence, and trust
Improve your own riding by deepening body awareness and intentional skill application
Learn how to create emotionally and physically safe learning environments
Expand your “teaching toolbox” with adaptable, rider-centered methods
Explore the Radical Roots MTB coaching pillars: fun, safety, and progression
Connect with other passionate coaches committed to growth, professionalism, and inclusivity
This workshop is grounded in our core coaching values:
Meeting riders where they are, without judgment
Building skills as a pathway to confidence and trust
Supporting rider identity, voice, and decision-making
Recognizing that growth happens through relationship, not pressure
Committing to professionalism, reflection, and continuous learning
Who This Is For:
Certified mountain bike instructors looking to deepen their coaching craft
Coaches seeking continuing education and fresh perspective
Ride leaders ready to become more intentional, effective coaches
Aspiring instructors preparing for certification
Radical Roots MTB coaching staff committed to ongoing professional development
Whether you’re a seasoned instructor or early in your coaching journey, you’ll leave with practical tools, fresh perspective, and a clearer sense of how you want to show up as a coach.
Led by Master Coach Angi Weston, one of the most experienced and respected mountain bike coaches in the industry, you’ll receive personalized feedback, diverse perspectives, and actionable insights you can immediately apply.

“With over 20 years of specific coaching experience, Angi is one of the most talented, and professional coaches in all of mountain biking. Her knowledge base is vast, and her instruction translates in an efficient and fun way to improve confidence on the trail. I am impressed by her attention to detail and easy-going demeanor. Angi has built a great support team to provide an incredible service for all levels of riders.
Skills development is a process for everyone; male, female, young, old, beginner, intermediate, all the way to the pro level. It is really nice to have a trained eye give feedback to make gains. I have learned a lot from Angi, and will continue to recommend her to everyone I know!”
— Jill Kintner, Professional Mountain Bike Athlete (Bellingham, WA)
“I recently took a private lesson and continuing education course with Radical Roots MTB during our time in Bellingham. Angi, our instructor, is a legend in the industry and one of the best instructors in the country. Her communication style is welcoming yet professional. We were able to dive into many topics where other instructors get tripped up or are less confident. The information was presented clearly from both a rider standpoint and a professional instructor. It was awesome to learn from her and the magic that she gives out in Bellingham.”
“As a rider, Angi has helped me to refine and better execute my skills and then helped me step up to the next level. As a new coach, she provided a great example of how to teach and how to interact with students. I love her communication style and demeanor. She explains skills in a manner which make them easy to understand (which means a better chance at executing them properly!) and provides great positive encouragement as students progress through learning attempts. I highly recommend Angi as a coach, whether you are a new or experienced rider.”
