We are bringing you the eNews a little early this month to set the trend for a new schedule. We will be sending out the eNews mid-month going forward to give all of you more time to prepare for the month ahead.

Private Lessons with Wade Simmons!

Take your riding to the next level with Wade!

"I've been extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to ride my mountain bike all over the world, and also to have dabbled in every aspect of mountain biking. That and the fact that I call the North Shore home give me an all-encompassing perspective on this wonderful sport and I love to share that knowledge with riders wanting to improve their skills. Each discipline of riding relates to the other and until you have an understandinig of this, your improvements will be limited. I want to help you reach your goals!"
- Wade Simmons

Wade raced BMX as a kid for 10 years before getting into mountain biking. In the early 90's he raced Pro-Elite XC, DH and competed in many trials events before winning the premier Freeride competition, Red Bull Rampage, in 2001. These days Wade still enjoys racing select fun events, as well as actively filming segments for films, in addition he enjoys guiding and coaching.

Camp Review: Hot Wheels Camp April 4 & 5

Another Awesome Women's Camp!

"Thanks again for putting on such a great course. It was amazing this year and I felt like I got so much out of it. I'm totally thrilled that I actually learned how to get both of my wheels off the groud. You guys are fantastic coaches and made picking up the new techniques fun and relatively easy. Each year that I participate in this course, it just keeps getting better and better. It's my favourite way to kick off the season!" - Sarah

Despite the cold and rainy weather instructors Kelli Sherbinin and Danika Schroeder had fantastic time at our Hot Wheels Camp (April 4 & 5). These women worked hard and put in a lot of time on their bikes over the two days and their efforts paid off with quick progression. The girls worked their skills at InterRiver Bike park and then headed out for their Trail Ride on Mt. Seymour.

Miss out Hot Wheels this year? Grab five friends and email us to set up a custom Hot Wheels Camp!
