Chairlift Confessions: Simon Lawton

18 Apr 2017

Sometimes, early on, a person finds their purpose in life and runs with it...or, in Simon’s case...rides with it!  From bike shop owner, to pro downhill racer, instructional film creator and mountain bike coach, Simon is doing what he was meant to do, and so many mountain bikers have greatly benefited from his knowledge and skill.  With irrepressible enthusiasm, understanding and insight, Simon is able to correctly analyze and brake down the mechanics of mountain biking to affect dramatic improvements in his students in a short amount of time. We here at Chairlift Confessions can personally speak of the benefits experienced by taking one of Simon’s clinics at Whistler Bike Park.  We are proud to partner with Simon and Fluidride this season to offer a video prize giveaway and  3-day Whistler Coaching Camp for premium users of BikeParkPRO App!
