Hi, I’m Andrew!

About The Local Bike Coach

The Local Bike Coach is me, Andrew. I’m a certified GSMBC Level 2 Advanced MTB Coach & AusCycling Mountain Bike Development Instructor & Coach based in Warburton in the Yarra Valley.

I spent most of my time as a kid and teenager hanging out at local skateparks on my BMX - which it turns out is an awesome foundation for building MTB skills! From there, my riding has progressed through downhill and enduro racing at the elite and national level, while also dabbling in XC, gravel and road.

The passion for bike tom foolery still lives through my riding today - I love jumping and stunting anything and everything, on bikes big and small.

These days I have turned my own passion for riding and racing bikes towards helping others find their style - coaching and guiding mountain bikers in their various forms throughout Melbourne and the Yarra Valley.

Whether your goals are:

  • Learning how to jump

  • Being more confident descending

  • Cornering smoother and faster

  • Improving your race times

  • Riding with less fear

  • Popping a mono

  • Simply becoming a safer rider

…I can help!

I pride myself on tailoring my lessons to best suit the student(s). A big part of this is listening to your goals, and how you learn best.

I’m excited to ride bikes with you!
