STOKED: This season I will be skills-coaching Judy Freeman and Chloe Woodruff of the crankbrothers Race Club.

I’ve been working with Judy for several years, and I’m excited to help her and Chloe develop the skills and confidence to ride at even higher levels (and have even more fun on their bikes).

“To address the increasingly difficult handling skills that riders need at World Cup events, Chloe and Judy will be working with Lee McCormack of LeeLikesBikes.com to improve their technical skills,” said Tim VanGlider, team director and crankbrothers art director.
