On this podcast, we are chatting with Amaryth “Amo” Gass who is the co-founder and co-owner of the Sedona Mountain Bike Academy (SMBA). We talk about so many things, like, SMBA’s approach to coaching, the anxiety women feel while riding, advice to women starting a coaching business, riding a mullet bike, and the best worst advice she’s ever received.

Based in Sedona and Flagstaff in Northern Arizona, SMBA is a mountain bike instruction company that offers mountain bike coaching, private lessons, events, community group rides and so much more.

SMBA has some amazing clinics such as a drop clinic, cornering clinics, and Sedona Shred clinics for all ages! SMBA also host various group rides throughout the year, and best of all, they empower women’s community groups by leading rides and providing coaching discounts.

True leaders in their community, SMBA work and support non-profits, and do a ton of community outreach. SMBA is passionate about conserving Northern Arizona’s natural environment for generations to come, so their instructors actively educate clients about the local trail system, the fragile and complex desert ecosystem, and their strategies to minimize impact.

SMBA has a lot of MTB coaches available to teach you anything you want to learn on a bike or anything you want to improve on a bike. Whether you want to learn to wheelie or learn to ride chunk, the SMBA are the coaches who can get you to level up!
