Epic Riders Club: committed to developing the next generation of Mountain Bikers & Racers in the Sea to Sky corridor.
Dear fellow students, parents & riders
Thought about what you or your kids are going to do this summer? Well as you probably heard we are EPIC RIDERS Youth Develoment Bike Club by the bike pro’s at EPIC RIDE (www.epicridebc.com). Ever since being asked to take over from Storm BC well over 3 years ago, we are still Whistler's & Pemberton's only Bike Club that is solely committed developing Youth Mountain Biking in our amazing corridor & because of our uality & professionalism, have been chosen as exclusive providers for all Bike Coaching by both the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) & Whistler Mountain Ski Club.
Simply put we love it when we get a cool bunch of girls & boys, from novice to experienced riders together jumping in the EPIC RIDERS Shuttle Wagon with our trail lunches & hit the best dirt in Pemby & Squamish & then jump in a lake. Boy do those kids improve a ton with our well planned & experienced teaching progression & have way too much fun doing it..Yep it’s only going to get better with our Municipalities committed to building even more EPIC singletrack, especially the fun, fast & flowy ones that everyone can ride. Well that’s exactly what EPIC RIDERS are all about: groups of similar ability levels riding killer trails while being coached to be better & smoother riders.
"I was amazed at how quickly my daughters progressed. The difference between the start and end of the season was dramatic. They became confident, capable and safe riders. The coaches really seemed to understand and to bring out the best in the kids. Both my daughter they loved the variety and friendship Epic offered. It was a great way for them to master the sport." - Rosie (Epic Rider Mom)
All New EPIC RACERS TEAM: Epic Riders are also committed to building up a competitive program including a planned Elite & Development Team to attend key races & events throughout BC & beyond to spread the word & push our amazing sponsors & help coach the younger aspirations bike champions of the future.
But don’t panic if your not there yet or never want to be, EPIC RIDERS Club is truly for everyone that wants to have fun & ride their bikes better now & the riders section of the club will be similiar to last year but with some important enhancements like sign out cards regular rider progression reports & hopefully more use of video coaching & stil photography so will never forget your Epic Summer. We are also offering private clinics throughout both Whistler & Squamish municipalities at anytime there is no snowe so get a group of like minded & similiasr ability riders & give us a call to book your very own Epic Rider Bike Pro - whever & whenever (the more notice the better please)
"..my son was sold on the Bike Park & Downhill as the "be all" of Mountain Biking but one summer of Epic Riders changed all that. Now, he loves the technical trails, lighter more nimble bikes and proudly earns his descents by climbing up them first." - Adam (Epic Rider Parent)
Finally & possibly most importantly, last year we launched our Epic Rippers program which is very simply from how to ride a bike/ loose those stabilizers right up to being able to ride doubletrack & some easier singletrack trails. So yes now all those younger brothers & sisters can enroll to Whistler's best summer program & enjoy in this great outdoors, ski & snowboard cossover sport & get fit without even noticing it as your having way to much fun.
How do we decide who got in what groups? Rather than age & in-line with our coaching philosophy of determining groups & ability splits, membership will always be determined by:
1 -Ability (on a bike)
2 - Maturity (rather than age)
3 - Gender (Epic Pink - girl only groups with female coaches if numbers allow)
So if you are like us & want to have way more fun this summer by riding your bike in our sweet singletrack club & becoming a fitter & better rider, come join your friends in our EPIC RIDERS CLUB.

“The experience that Stevie has had riding with Epic has been amazing. Their Coaches are a step above and really go out of their way to have a good time and make sure that the kids are learning new skills…. he has learned so much and gained so much from this experience that he will never forget this experience in his life. There are some moments in time that help to mold us and shape who we are and where we are going, this was one of those summers for my Son”. - Mariah (Epic Rider Mom)
