(Testimonials)
Vic McQuaide (42) 2x National Champion: “My dad and I drive up from San Diego. The Fast Start played a huge role in the success of my comeback. He obviously spent 1000's of hours developing his pedaling techniques!”
John Hoover (41) Dentist, Cat 1 State XC Champion: "When I talked to Dave on the phone it confirmed he was the coach for me. I flew to LA from Tennessee and spent 3 solid days beginning with the FAST Start and then worked on many skills. His program had a huge impact on my riding in just 3 months. I won the first mountain bike race I entered after starting his program. Something I tried to do in the expert class for four seasons."
Haroldo Camacho (51) Novice Rider/Racer: "What I learned in the FAST-Start was amazing. I have better skills, feel safer on the road, direction in my training, and for the first time I can see myself improving fast. Totally unexpected!"
Mike Maniscalchi (51) Road, MTB: "My first session was the Fast Start and I'm finally on the right track. After many years of motocross, jet ski racing, and mountain biking I was tired of getting dropped. Within the next three months, I've improved radically and to everyone's surprise I'm now dropping my buddies. His training philosophy, pacing techniques, and skill sessions speak for themselves."
Mike Carlson (46) New Rider: “I learned so much from David not only from the Fast Start but also his skills sessions. It caught me by surprise that I was so quickly able to hang with guys that usually drop me."
