Extreme Riders – Summer

An Escape Adventures’ Classic!!

Extreme Riders must already have experience riding steep descents, long climbs, skinnies, ladders, drops, wall rides and any other TTFs that can be found.  We will take their skills to the next level by sessioning features, looking at lines and conquering the legendary trails on Fromme and Seymour Mountains.

Trails to be explored range from Expresso, Leppard and all those below, and Lower Oil Can, Pipeline and Seventh Secret on Fromme to the Seymour Mountain trails such as Corkscrew, Asian Adonis, John Deere, Pingu and Pangor.  This is to name only a few, there are so many more!!

All Extreme Riders will be assessed on day 1 and placed into appropriate skill groups.

Shred with the Escape Team Coaches who have grown up riding these trails and together check out everything The Shore has to offer.

Information

Requirements

If your child does not have the skills to be able to ride the terrain for their camp, we will try to fit them into another camp. 

If we are not able to place them into an appropriate camp, we will not be able to refund your registration fee. 

Let’s have a chat and find a solution that will work well for us both.

Riders must have already spent time riding Expresso and Leppard and all the trails below.  They have a desire to ride higher and explore new trails.  This would include all trails on Fromme Mtn and for some, trails on Seymour Mtn.  

To be riding in Extreme Riders, you need experience with TTFs, riding steep up and down hills, skinnies, ladders, drops and wall rides.  We will continue to build your skills and confidence in these areas. 

They also need the following:

  • 24″wheel or larger is mandatory
  • full face helmet and knee & elbow pads – strongly recommended
  • Quick release needed for riders’ seat – mandatory
  • ability to use gears and brakes 
  • the use of level pedals 
  • have an understanding that different body positions are used for descent and ascent 
  • realize that a rider needs to go up, before they have the joy associated with going down

Any question about the abilities needed, please call –  604 307 BIKE(2453)

What to Bring
  • The obvious: bike, helmet and knee and elbow pads.
  • The not so obvious, a spare tube, snack, lunch (no nuts please) and water, in a back pack, to be carried by your rider.
Expectations
Can my child always ride with their friend?

We make every effort to keep friends together, but it cannot be guaranteed.

Our groups are created to ensure each rider is kept engaged and in their challenge zone. This creates a cohesive group and a better experience for all the riders.  

The groups are defined by the skills of all the children attending that week.

 

 

BIKE TUNE UP MANDATORY

Please ensure that your child’s bike is tuned up and ready to roll a few weeks prior to coming to camp.  Bike stores are very busy so phone and make an appointment for the tune up.

Having your child’s bike in good operational condition will create a positive experience for your child.
