Karan
Dreaves-Foord
KARAN's sporting background originates
in gymnastics, being Junior National Champion
in 1984. Following an injury that led to retirement and meeting Gary,
she became interested in treating and preventing sports injuries. After
graduating from Sheffield University she then qualified from the London
School of Sports Massage in 1996 and has worked in the field
ever since. Her career has taken her abroad working with several National
Sports teams and over the past four years has worked in a clinical environment
within a Staffordshire Chiropractic Clinic. She is experienced in soft
tissue work and rehabilitation. Karan supports Gary's conditioning work
with effective massage to Elite Athletes. Karan is now qualified in Electrotherapy (for injury treatment).
She is also now qualified to practice Kinesiology – a holistic treatment used in a huge variety of cases. If you have ever wanted to be tested for food intolerances or if you struggle to cope with dyslexia or need help with stress or if you have simply wondered if you are taking the correct supplements, why not try Kinesiology?

Will Waters
Will worked full time at Mammoth as a mechanic, utilizing skills gained from maintaining his own bikes since starting mountain biking in 1987. Will has competed in XC, DH, trials, enduros, cyclocross, time trials, road racing and road hillclimbing (winning on his mountain bike!). These days he no longer competes, prefering to go on big rides in the Peak District or to hit DH / freeride areas. In the summer Will is heading out to Whistler to be an 'All Mountain' guide with Ticket2RideBC. He says he might well return to Mammoth in the autumn, with the possibility offering guiding services within the company.
This is Will making a leap of faith at one of the Hertfordshire trails.
