Jon is a versatile rider and instructor, at home on smooth flowing trails as well as chunky tech, enjoys technical climbing almost as much as the descent on the other side, and will happily spend hours in a parking lot in the never-ending quest for a better wheelie. He is qualified to help you with all aspects of riding including jumps/drops, steep descents, technical climbing, and maneuvers such as manuals, bunnyhops, and nose pivots.

Originally from the UK, Jon now splits his time between Sedona and Alaska, where he swaps the red rocks of Sedona for slimy tree roots and bear encounters, or hangs up the bike entirely to teach snowboarding.

A rare unicorn - aka, a Sedona native - you’ll be hard pressed to find someone who knows Sedona's terrain better than Molly.

Adventurous, quirky, and yet clear and methodical, Molly will help you unlock technical terrain like a Nintendo 64 cheat code.
