Over spring break, I helped out with a camp that Endless Biking put on for kids who wanted to improve their mountain biking skills. I was surprised and a bit nervous to get the call to help out, especially it being only a couple weeks after taking my PMBI Level 1 Instructor course.
I had two Level 3 riders in my group, which was nice because I was teaching the most advanced riders and there were only two so it was very easy to manage. The two guys really amazed me with their skills and determination, they rode some trails and stunts most people twice or three times their age wouldn’t touch!
Five days is a lot of riding, even for me. Luckily, we were able to get shuttled and drove to the bottom of certain trails in the new Endless Biking bus, so that took a lot of the riding on the road away. We spent 3 days on Fromme, and two days on Seymour, and we even got to tour the Rocky Mountain headquarters and met Carson Storch!
We all crashed, we all sweated, laughed, and we all learned a lot. In the end, I had a lot of fun and also helped out some younger guys improve their riding!
