Untitled design_copySprocket - The Boss (just ask him)

 

Sprocket is a 12 Year old Kelpie and as far as he is concerned the owner of the business. He can sometimes be found supervising many of our programs just to ensure the quality is up to standard and clients are happy. If they don't look happy this can be solved with kisses and cuddles.

 

Interests: Rounding up groups of things that move with a particular interest in sheep or kids on bikes as he views them to be equally as capable of organising themselves. Loves hanging out with our awesome community of riders when he can.

 

 

 


 

 


Untitled designMic Longhurst - Master Trainer, Head Instructor and Program Lead

 

Hi, I’m Mic Longhurst the owner and founder of Dynamic Motivation. Most of my life has been involved in some sort of adventurous activity. I have worked in the outdoors in climbing, rafting, kayaking, diving, bushwalking, mountain biking, and competed in a wide range of adventure sports.

 

I have a long history in Mountain Biking, I started racing in 1989 and have competed in every type of event including XC,DH, 4X, Enduro and Trials, with a number of podiums at State and National level across multiple disciplines. I was coaching coordinator for the local club  for 6 years and ran all of their coaching during that time. 

I founded DM in 2011, and have Cert IV Personal Trainer, Cert IV Trainer Assessor, MTBA Level 1 MTB Coach, UCI Level 2 MTB Coach, PMBI MTB Instructor level 1 and 2 and I was one of few PMBI Instructor Trainers in Australia. With these qualifications and spending around 1000 hours a year face to face instructing all levels from beginner to elite, adults and junior, makes me one of the broadest qualified and most experienced MTB Instructors and Coaches in Australia and I love teaching people to achieve what it is they want from their riding.

Chelle Longhurst – General Manager Chelle

 

Hi, I’m Chelle. I’ve been riding mountain bikes since 1989.  I love all kinds of outdoor adventure, and have been caving, climbing, rafting, bushwalking, diving, kayaking and mountain biking for years. Life happened and I found myself in corporate management roles just waiting to work in our business full-time. I came into the business full-time in Dec 2019.

 

I’m passionate about what the outdoors and mountain biking can bring to a person, their family and community in general.

 

You’ll see most of the crew more often than you see me as I keep things ticking along in the background. I love connecting with our customers though, so you’ll see me on site and driving our shuttle bus when I can.

I have been involved with DM to varying degrees during that time, gaining my Cert III fitness at 16 and delivering group fitness programs as well as becoming a personal trainer at 18 and a PMBI Level 1 MTB Instructor in 2016.

I really enjoy my job, I enjoy sharing the joy of the sport with everyone young and old and showing how much the sport has to offer, whether it be teaching a Juniors program, an Adults private lesson, guiding a tour or driving the shuttle bus, I just love being in the outdoors and being able to make someone’s day and experience on the bike the best it can be. My favourite type of trail is fast and flowy but I enjoy most types of riding! I also enjoy motorbike riding, camping, rock climbing, hiking, snorkelling, diving and snowboarding when I get a chance.

 

I am proud to have initiated our successful Ride Like a Girl program in 2018, encouraging girls to get into the sport of mountain biking and enjoying riding all level of terrain together.

Other hobbies include motor bike riding, gymnastics, circus, classical guitar and drums, also a love of the outdoors.

DuncanAusJerseyBio

Duncan Ledger - MTB Instructor

 

Hey I'm Duncan, I'm a PMBI Level 2 Instructor and have been riding mountain bikes since 2011.

I originally started with XC back when I was 11 years old. After a couple of stints racing XC, I became aware of a new racing format called Gravity Enduro. I was instantly hooked and since then its become my focus. I have raced from a state level to national, competed in the Enduro World Series and represented Australia in the UCI World Enduro Championships in Val di Fassa. 

I occasionally swing my leg over the XC bike and DH beast as well to keep things interesting.

Being on the bike, working with kids and bringing smiles to people's faces is my favourite part about working with Dynamic Motivation. I love working with people to help them meet new challenges while encouraging them to aim higher and exceed their expectations.

EthanAEthan Aleksandrowicz – MTB Instructor

Hi, my name is Ethan and I’ve been working as an instructor for Dynamic since 2023. I currently ride a 2018 Trek Fuel EX, a 2022 Trek Slash and a 2015 Trek Emonda road bike. I’d say the thing I enjoy the most about riding is being unique and trying new trails, tricks, gaps or lines. That’s why I mostly ride steep and tight trails or really big jumps, I like to experiment, play around a bit. 

 

I also have a huge passion for coaching. Not just for bikes but in general. It’s really satisfying seeing someone progress and achieve their goals. Knowing you helped them achieve that goal further adds to the joy of coaching. 

 

If I’m not on my bike, I’m probably writing about bikes, driving on my racing car simulator, hiking or playing Mortal Kombat. If there is one place you’ll never see me  though it’s a bike shop, as I love working on my own bikes in my workshop. 

 

Programs Delivered: Juniors and Dev Squad.

I ride a Rocky Mountain Instinct BC and enjoy riding steep and technical terrain as it’s a good challenge to test how fast you can go, but I also do enjoy getting some air-time as well.

Dylan_Bio_Pic

Dylan Pitt - MTB Instructor

 

Hey, I’m Dylan.  I have been mountain biking since I was 10, where I began to ride cross country with the CORC mountain biking group. I have been riding with DM since 2017, and became an Instructor in 2021. My favourite part about mountain biking is the freedom it gives you, alongside meeting new people and challenging myself to try bigger and harder techniques and obstacles. I always looked up to my coaches in CORC and Dynamic Motivation, and as such they gave me a love for mountain biking and taught me the importance and happiness spreading the skills can have on others. I strive to be like those coaches and give others the love of mountain biking that I have.

 

I'm currently studying Coastal and Marine Science at the University of Newcastle, and coach on the school holiday programs when semester breaks align.

 

 


 

GillyBioGilly aka Michael Gill - Shuttle driver/Guide

 

I have been riding 30+ years and currently ride a Cannondale road bike, Nukeproof Scout and a GT Force Pro.  I enjoy everything about riding! Even the joy of climbing up a hill knowing that I'll be riding down again. And the way it helps me forget about all the troubles in the world and be free.   I enjoy a mixture of all mountain bike riding, someday a good pedal around a XC track is good, others a technical flowy trail hits the spot. And a double black that I didn't crash during the ride, invigorates the soul and definitely gets the heart beating.

 

The job as the shuttle bus driver has been rewarding and fun. To be able to look at all the different bikes and be able to talk bike all day is a great day for me. And seeing everyone smiling and enjoying themselves is what I love about bicycles.

 

I love to work with my hands and tinker and when I am not fixing bicycles, I am working on cars and motorbikes.  I am interested in learning and will sign up to complete a mechanical engineering degree sometime soon. I also love the outdoors and reading books.

I'm a bit shy.Richard (Rich) Davis - MTB Instructor

 

The oldest guy on the DM crew. I have been on two wheels my whole life in one form or another. I came to mountain biking in the late 90’s when Triathlon got a bit stale, and I’ve never looked back. I’ve done a bit of everything in MTB but definitely more gravity oriented now. I got involved with DM when my son started riding with the squad and then the team.

 

I love working with the kids and seeing the amazing gains they make (I guess I’m jealous that the same opportunities were not available when I was that age).

 

I also love working with beginner adults, the joy they experience when they realise that these things are so much fun and can be safe with the right training.
