"There is something special about your explanations and demonstrations that allows me to not only apply the principles but also teach myself how to progress. To go from focus on an outcome “riding a feature” to just riding with the intent of learning. That way it is always fun no matter the outcome. It always teaches me something and allows me to be humble and open. Also, really great to see line choices, get direct feedback at the moment and practice. Also super fun to see you ride dude. I’ve been looking for ways to improve for a long time but this time I am objectively progressing quickly"

"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!"
