WHO I AM
For the Love of Mountain Biking
I’m Jake Johnstone, founder of The Mind Mountain, where I combine my love for mountain biking, coaching, and mental performance. Originally from Australia and inspired by New Zealand’s laid-back riding scene, I moved to BC a decade ago in search of even bigger mountains and deeper adventures. These days, I find joy in challenging rides across both hemispheres, personal growth, and helping others do the same.

WHAT I DO
For the Love of Progression
I help make mountain biking the most confidence-inspiring and rewarding pursuit you've ever experienced. Drawing on many years of training with leading MTB coaches and sports psychologists, I've developed a unique coaching approach I call the Full Circle Framework™, blending on-bike technique, mental strategies, equipment setup, and physical capacity to guide riders of all levels toward lasting progression and confidence.
