Why do so many of us spend a fortune on our beloved bikes & absolutely nothing on how to ride them better? when in most other sports such as golf, skiing, tennis, swimming etc etc, coaching is the accepted norm. Come with Epic Ride as we are the only ones trained, dedicated and entirely focused on not only showing you the best riding on this planet, but will coach your riding so you will enjoy your bike & trails so much more both while you are here and forever more.
What is this coaching we keep talking up? I guess every country calls it something different, but in Canada we call the highest level of instruction - coaching. And that is exactly what we offer, simply the highest level of mountain bike coaching possible.
Why no big pro names in our resident bike pro staff - just because someone is an amazing rider/ athlete, doesn't neccesarily make them the world's most gifted coach. Unfortunately often it is the opposite as they know how they do it but can't pass their incredible talents onto you:
"just because someone can do something, doesn't mean they can explain it. Most great riders operate at a level way below conscious thought. They're not worrying about gear choice or pedal pressure or getting hurt, they are just doing it. And that's why the typical response when you ask how they did something is simply, "I dunno. You just kind of do it" (Brain Lopes & Lee McCormack in Mastering Mountain Bike Skills, one of the immense books that has helped develop our Epic Ride Coaching Manual.
So you are already an incredible rider, or maybe not but are more interested in just doing your thing on the easy stuff - both is cool with us. That is another big difference between an instructor and a coach, they believe in seeing & doing is a pre-requisite of learning & improving, rather than listening to their voice.
Our bike pros can & will tailor their approach to whatever you want, you simply want to go ride, trust me they are here to ride so no problems there. Want more, well that is why we employed them, because quite simply you wil not find a nicer, better qualified & experienced group of mountain bike pros anywhere. So whether you want a coach, guide or just a freind to go ride with, no worries, our pros are here for you. And remember although everything is quoted for groups, if you want to book a pro for your private use, just give us a shout & we will gladly oblidge.
