Stop Suriving Trails. Start Riding Them!
I help newer dirt bike riders stop panicking on trails and start riding technical terrain with confidence.
-Kelley Fager [Owner of MXHideout]
Most Beginner Trail Riders Struggle With The Same Fears…
- Fear of whiskey throttle
- Fear of crashing on hills or tight trails
- Feeling embarrassed riding with experienced riders
- Stalling, tipping over, or panicking
- Wondering if dirt biking just “isn’t for them”
You’re not broken.
You just haven’t been shown the right way to build confidence yet.
Imagine Riding Trails Feeling Calm, In Control, And Actually Having Fun
- Smooth throttle control
- Confident hill climbs
- Safe braking downhill
- Better balance and body position
- The ability to ride longer without fear or exhaustion
This is what happens when you follow a step-by-step confidence system designed specifically for beginner trail riders.
The Backyard Confidence Method™
Most riders try to improve by:
❌ Just riding more
❌ Watching random YouTube tips
❌ Copying advanced riders
That usually makes fear worse.
Instead, you’ll learn:
✅ Confidence drills you can practice safely
✅ Mental techniques to stop panic reactions
✅ Simple skill progressions that build control fast
✅ How to ride trails BEFORE you feel “ready”
Meet Kelley Fager
Kelley started MXHideout in 2009 but has spent the last 6 years helping newer trail riders go from scared and frustrated…
To confident, capable, and excited to ride.
From riding for 8 years but still feeling "nervous" on new or challenging trails, to confidently riding some of the most technical single-track trails in the U.S., I know what it feels like to:
- Stall or tip over constantly
- Panic on hills
- Wash the tires out on corners
- Get exhausted within 5 minutes of trail riding, especially while standing
- Feel like everyone else “gets it” except you
That’s why I created a simple system that removes confusion and builds confidence step-by-step.

Newer Trail Riders Are Finally Feeling Confident
"Huge difference in my confidence riding"
"Managing throttle control has made a huge difference in my confidence riding. Doing drills with Kelley helped me learn how to comfortably switch gears and brake allowing me to ride more confidently with my sons. I’m able to adjust without overreacting which has definitely helped me not crash as much! I feel more at one with the bike and love it!"
-Amber Storbeck (Minnesota)
"I was really scared of everything."


Here's what she said after the FIRST DAY of practicing what she learned:
I went riding yesterday and I was way more confident! I practiced the clutch drills and that really helped. That was way less scary and felt more in control.
-Zoe Najim
"No longer afraid to ride or corner. Total Confidence"
