MTB SKILLS FAQ
A quick introduction to who I am and what I do.

RETÜL bike fittings. MTB SKILLS Instructor

I’m Gresh, a professional (certified) bike fitter and skills instructor.

I will give you the power to develop your skills, the confidence to push your boundaries and encouragement to enjoy the ride.

Established in 2015, I have been on a journey of discovery on two wheels.
Through national and international mountain bike instructing programmes, endless hours of research, chats at snack breaks, I have developed a skills progression programme to enable you to enjoy the ride just as much as I do. Professional, rider-focused and a heck of a lot of fun.

The importance of a proper bike fit cannot be overstated. Poor bike position can lead to discomfort, fatigue, loss of power, and injury, which, contrary to popular belief, is not normal when bike riding! This can be fixed with a proper bike fit.
Bike fit is for everyone.

If you have any questions on Bike Fit or MTB Skills, please check out the FAQ page. There is a ton of useful information here!

BIKE FITS | BODYGEOMETRY RETÜL

Bike fit is everyone. Many people (and some bike shops) think bike fits only benefit XCO racers or triathletes. Most cyclists want to get outside to experience the benefits of cycling and enjoy themselves. Riding a bike is all about having fun, discomfort free and comfortable.

What people say

Gresham taught me how to ride a mountain bike the way it should. We spent many hours out on the single track with me getting things wrong and Gresham patiently coaching/correcting me every step of the way. By laying down a solid foundation on the fundamental skills, I have gone on to enjoy many hours of riding.
