Thanks for the great private lesson. It helped me get to know my bike better and how to make it work for me. Trail riding at Whistler is a joy for you as the smile on your face proclaims. You make instruction and direction manageable and it made my experience less daunting and much more fun.
Thank you for the awesome tips.

James Kaentje, Berkley USA.

Thanks very much, Kelli; I'm really excited about getting out and using the skills you taught me. I think the thing I was the most stoked on was climbing up that steep hill on Team Pangor, even though it didn't look THAT steep at the top... and manuals; I LOVE manuals. I can't wait to get out again. But my calves and arms are more sore than they've been in a long time!

And, by the way, I wanted to thank you for spending so much time with me; I really appreciate the care and attention you gave in your lesson. I think you are a true professional, your methods work well, and I would recommend you and Endless any time. Thank you so much; I'll keep you up to date on my riding, and anything fun that happens to come up...

Thanks for the great tips last weekend! I definitely learned a lot once again.

I was pretty conservative on Saturday, focusingdro mostly on jumps and dropps in the skills park, but I did start to get progresively more air, and also more consistent on he technique.

We rode mostly Freight Train/Original Sin and Dirt Merchant/A-Line. Good news--I got *way* more air (still not huge) on Sunday than on Friday and felt much more confident and in control than ever before. I did two features (rock drop and the other rolling dirt drop) on Dirt Merchant that I hadn't done before, so that was pretty cool as well. I also did some stuff on Freight Train that I used to roll, so another positive there.

Overall, I'm really happy with the progress I've made in the last two weeks, and it's pretty much down to your teaching so thanks again.

Please keep me in mind for the next Sunshine Coast trip/camp. I'll also certainly contact you later (think in October-ish) for another coaching session.

Thank you so much for the private lesson we did in Whistler (and the pic, it's awesome!). I am starting to feel a huge difference in my riding, most notably with cornering. I have successfully ridden the switchbacks on Nicole's and the switchbacks on Pipeline (which Darren really tried to get me down on the Progression Sessions, but I just couldn't quite get it). I am absolutely ecstatic! Knowing how to position my hips more appropriately has made a tremendous difference in my cornering and I am so grateful.

Again, thank you so much, Kelli! I've had some of the best rides of my life this past week, and I owe much of that to you :)

Hi Kelly,

This is Sheri Wilkin. I took a one on one weekend course with you on July 22nd and 23rd.

I just wanted to let you know I went riding on Mt. Galbraith in Bellingham last weekend (that was my first ride since our session) and I went on trails that I had done before but walked just about everything but this time I rode down them with confidence and with my neutral position and It was the second best day of riding that I have ever had. I am so happy and so grateful to you for what you did for me.

I can't thank you enough!

My husband says I am a totally different person. We went riding last night to a local area that has lots of roots and small drops and I totally flowed the trails. I still need to practice my turns and manuals but I am smooth on everything else.

So, I just had to tell you of my success-really our success because if you weren't such an excellent instructor then I wouldn't have been able to learn how to ride like I do now.

I hope you had a great time at Crank Works. Take care.

Sherri Wilcott, Seattle USA

Hi kelli,

Thank you so much for your help the other day. I learned a ton. We went out on the trails at UBC yesterday and it was a great ride! I felt really confident, kept up to the boys and generally rode their legs off!!

Everything you taught me came into play. Having the seat higher for the ride to and from the park, lowered for the trails, ready position while flying along the little trails, jumps for getting up curbs (small ones...) & over roots and most of all speed control! Especially coming down the big hill by Spanish Banks with the surprise steps near the bottom... All in all a spectacular ride!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can't wait to get out again. Too bad about the whole working for a living thing, it sure gets in the way of my sports!

Hope you had a good ride this weekend too.

Cheers,
Beth Mercer, North Vancouver

Hi Kelli,

Just wanted to send a quick note to thank you for
everything. We had a great time in Whistler & I feel
like I got a lot out of the camp and my private lesson
with you. Thanks also for the pictures, they were a
great learning tool during the lessons and lots of fun
to have!

We've told our friends about Endless Biking
so they will most likely be in touch about doing some
riding when they are on their honeymoon (in July).

We'll certainly be in-touch the next time we get back to BC!

Kelli,

First of all...... good news from me is you would not believe, okay maybe you can lol, the difference in my riding after only that one 3 hour lesson !

We rode Pipeline yesterday and did hmmmm I would say about 80% of it and over double what I was able to do last time, including, 2 bits of the Rock Roller Coaster! which was darn pretty exciting !

Also before I met my friends I went and did Roadside to test my new knowlege (rode Nicole's on Sunday) and came across that wooden bridge and hit it EASY ! like what I was afraid of ! lol.. so good in fact, came back up and did it again !

Then after we did PIPELINE, we all rode up and did Griffin, and with some moral support from a couple of the riders I was able to do the up and over log thing on Griffin... 3rd attempt and did it :) and I can only think the next time I try it I will get it on the 1st try :)

Thank you so much!

I would like to say that I am completely and absolutely satisfied from my private lessons with Kelli. I would like to emphasize the manner of professionalism and excellent instruction that Kelli portrayed.

• Kelli continuously explained things in a manner I understood. She broke moves down into wee technical components, in order for me to be able to piece it all together and see the big picture.
• She was patient and encouraging
• She made me work hard for my accomplishments
• Kelli’s experience as a north shore rider and a downhill racer are evident in her manner of instruction. She obviously knows what she is talking about.
• Kelli has a very cheery disposition and friendly manner, which resulted in her bringing fun & positive energy to each lesson, which is key for someone like me who is somewhat fearful of trying new stuff. Her positive energy made me more eager to try new stuff.
• One on one lessons is by the far the best for what I needed.

I have all good things to say about Endless Biking to people who ask, and those who don’t ask! I am constantly telling people about my lessons and my improvement and the excellent instruction I received.
You folks have a great gig going on. Keep up the good work!
