Hi, I’m Chris, the founder of Trail Performance.

As an elite-level bike trials rider, I discovered how the balance, precision, and bike control developed through trials could transform riding on technical mountain bike trails.

After moving to Stockholm and rediscovering mountain biking, I realised how much the skills I’d developed through trials could help riders build confidence, improve technique, and enjoy riding even more. That inspired me to create Trail Performance.

My own journey hasn’t been a straight line. After competing at the highest level, injury brought my riding career to a stop. Returning to riding meant rebuilding my strength, confidence, and fitness from the ground up. That experience has shaped how I coach. I understand that every rider starts from a different place, and that real progress comes from building strong foundations, developing confidence, and enjoying the process.

My coaching is built on a foundation of elite-level bike handling and technical riding. As an Elite Club Trials Champion, a third-place finisher in the British Elite Trials Championships, and a former British Trials Team rider, I’ve spent years refining the skills that underpin confident and capable riding. Today, I help mountain bikers develop those same fundamentals—balance, control, line choice, and technique—so they can ride with greater confidence, efficiency, and enjoyment on any terrain.

Whether you’re completely new to mountain biking or looking to refine your technical skills, my goal is simple: to help you become a more confident, capable rider and enjoy every ride that little bit more.
