INTO THE GNAR is a mountain biking progression platform that connects riders, coaches, and the MTB community. It combines rider skill assessment, in-person and remote coaching, performance tracking, video analysis, camp management, risk assessment, nutrition tracking, a community flow feed, riding groups, and more — all in one ecosystem designed to help every rider progress from their first trail to the podium.
The entire platform is thought through and built entirely by Yoann Barelli, with the help of recommendations and feedback from the community, taking every piece of feedback and improving it day after day. Yoann brings 30 years racing at the highest level of mountain biking, with Enduro World Series podiums and a Megavalanche at Alpe d'Huez, and 7 years coaching riders of all levels, working with brands, high-performance athletes, and teams. He's seen the full evolution of the sport, from racing to contracts to community.

"What a day! My friends and I have been considering getting some coaching with Yoann for a while, and we finally pulled the trigger. We started the day by chatting about what we wanted to be our focus - we ended up deciding on granite features/slabs, which was a no-brainer being is Squamish. As old dudes, we grew up riding in the 80s and 90s, and still had some bad riding habits from trying not to get murdered riding fully rigid bikes. Yoann had us really focus on learning modern riding position and proper form, while progressing from easier to more difficult features. The real-time video analysis was ace - super helpful to have him be able to point things out and be able to see it. He also did an excellent job of balancing different riding levels with something for everyone. Yoann has a ton of expertise, and his stoke is infectious. The day significantly changed our riding for the better!"

"I have done coaching from other groups in the past. This was a completely different experience and was essentially what I have been looking for for all these years. Plus just a fun guy that is very responsive to my needs and has a unique but way more effective approach and technique to riding than anyone else. It changed my prospectives in many ways. Can’t recommend enough"

"I've done a number coaching sessions with Yoann, and he always provides excellent feedback in an encouraging manner. Yoann knows a lot, and the remote coaching is a great way to apply his expertise directly to your riding."
