Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My wife and I are regular cyclists but totally new to MTB riding. We hired some bikes and booked the three hour group lesson. Sooo pleased we did. Andrew is patient, informative, easy going and very much frames what you do around your individual needs and aspirations. We learned a lot and were very quickly able to enjoy the beginner trails with Andrew guiding us through a range of interesting and gradually more technical or challenging terrain.
This sport is addictive and I get why people are paying big bucks for high-end eMTBs. But be warned, it is a workout - lots of fun but you know you’ve been using new muscles and had a good cardio session by the time you finish. That said, the pace of our session was perfect and we then went a spent another three hours practicing what we’d learnt.
I could recommend Andrew more highly - truly excellent!!

We learned lots of information regarding proper use of our gears and brakes and how to correctly position our bodies when mountain biking.
Very informative and enjoyable

I had a private lesson with Bright MTB and I will definitely have a follow up lesson next time I'm in Bright.
We spent the first part of the lesson learning techniques and aspects of MTB riding that were very helpful and the second part implementing the techniques and sessioning the fantastic Mystic MTB park. Andrew is easy to communicate with and enjoyable to spend three hours riding with.
I rode the next day on the trail, and I could already tell my riding had significantly improved.

I took a mountain bike lesson with Andrew in January 2020 in Bright. He was such a patient teacher and tailored the lesson to exactly what I wanted to get out of it. He was so professional, great customer service and it was heaps of fun! He went above and beyond with the lesson length and even followed up after the lesson with reminders about what I learnt and what I need to practice. I feel much more confident hitting the trails around Bright as a result. It was a fantastic experience, I would highly recommend a lesson from Andrew.

I called up Andrew at around 6pm on a Wednesday in mid-December, on the off chance he might have availability the next day - being the champ he is, we managed to fit in an early 2 hr private lesson the next morning, before the park closed for the day due to fire risk.
Andrew was fantastic to learn from, and very proactive in ensuring you got what you wanted from the lesson, rather than following a prescriptive formula. Everything done at your pace, and he makes it easy to speak up if you need advice or want to try something different.
Andrew knows the place like the back of his hand, which was great for someone like me who had never set foot (wheel?) in Bright before. I felt more like I was out riding with a super knowledgeable and supportive friend, than having a lesson. Highly recommended!

Andrew took our 13 yo son for a 2 hour private MTB lesson in mid December at Bright's Mystic MTB park. From the original booking to the post-lesson email, Andrew was professional, thorough and clearly passionate about imparting his knowledge to learners.
I booked via the Bright MTB website, and Andrew contacted me when my selection wasn't working to complete the booking. The lesson was on a 35 degree day, and he ensured our son had adequate water and food before starting.
The lesson was aimed at our son's needs and skill level, and Andrew suggested further suitable tracks he could ride to test these new skills. He worked on cockpit set-up and pre-ride bike checks to optimise the day's ride, as well as riding techniques.
In the post-lesson email, Andrew summarised the lessons for subsequent reference, a really helpful addition to the day.
My son was so impressed, commenting that Andrew was "easy to talk to", a 13 year old's highest praise for an adult!
A marvellous find!

Thank you for taking the time to leave such an amazing review, I am so glad to hear your son enjoyed himself!
I really enjoyed riding with your son, and it was an absolute pleasure helping him become an even stronger rider, guiding him through the development of new bike skills and watching him apply them throughout the lesson and witnessing his confidence grow and his skills progressing.
Thank you again for booking your son in for a private lesson with Bright MTB, I look forward to hearing how your son's riding progresses in the future.

Andrew‘s knowledge of the local trails is excellent, he was able to hand pick the best trails to ride to suit my skill level and riding goals. His wealth of mountain bike experience and positive, fun approach allowed me to relax and progress my skills in just a few hours. Highly recommend hitting the trails with Andrew if you’re in the area.
