WHO ARE YOU?

I'm Griff Wigley, Mountain Bike Geezer (my site where I've had a blog since I started mountain biking in 2011). I'm a mountain biking skills coach for Ryan Leech Connection, and founder of a free Facebook group called Dyrt Nation: Mountain Biking Skills for the Rest of Us. (More about me on my blog's About page.)

WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT YOUR MTB PRACTICE LAB PODCAST?
The show is about mountain bike practicing-related skills and techniques. It’s not about mountain bike riding-related skills and techniques. You will find episodes about frequency -- how often to practice -- and duration -- how long a practice should be; episodes about the benefits of turning drills into games and exaggerating aspects of a technique; the difference between practicing to learn versus practicing to perform, what strategies to consider when you hit the inevitable plateaus, and lots more.

My current working way-too-long tagline for the show:

The Art and Science of Getting Better at Practicing Skills
for Mountain Biking... and For the Rest of Your Life

WHAT'S PATREON AND WHY ARE YOU USING IT?
Patreon is a membership platform that makes it easy for creators to get paid. I need people's financial support for my role as the show's creator, producer, promotions manager, and utility infielder. If you appreciate what you hear on the show and want to see it continue and flourish, you can show your support by becoming a financial patron here my MTB Practice Lab Patreon page.

WHAT DO YOUR PATRONS GET IN RETURN?
As an MTB Practice Lab Patron, you get satisfaction from contributing to the sport of mountain biking in a way that's not being done anywhere else. You get special participation privileges. And you can get special recognition and insider access. And of course, you get my undying appreciation! See the right sidebar for the current Tier levels.
