The Coach
Meet Mike Stevenson
Racer first, coach by obsession. The same rider lining up on #227 on Sunday is the one walking the track with you on Tuesday.
Founder & Coach
The Short Version
Mike Stevenson has spent his whole life on a dirt bike - racing minis at the biggest amateur events in the country, stacking championships at the Mini O's, and wrenching on every machine he ever lined up on. BERRYLAND is where all of it comes together: a private Florida property built so riders can learn the way Mike wishes someone had taught him.
His coaching style is simple: figure out why something works, prove it on the track, and hand the rider a plan they can keep using after they load up. Not just laps - real rider progress.

The plates tell the story
From a 1997 World Mini championship to 12 Loretta Lynn's National years and four Mini O's titles, Mike has spent nearly three decades competing across amateur motocross. Every plate in this photo marks another chapter in the career of #227, and he is still adding to it.
