Archer is 7. His mom describes him as a kid who rides his bike all day, every day. He knows all the jumps and jibs in his neighborhood.
When I met him for our first lesson he flexed on me with a wheelie in the parking lot. I knew immediately that this was going to be a rad lesson series.
He tried to clean every hill on the way to Torpedo, he's already into earning his turns. I'm humbled to meet these kids with lazer focus, and stoked I can play a small part in their journey. I can't wait to see where young Archer goes with his riding.
Grayson staying calm and smooth on the Butcher's Block. Grayson was part of our camp last week at the Tzou. He showed up everyday ready to ride, with stoke to share and seemingly unlimited energy!
I just want to give him a shout out right now as he's at home recovering from a broken collarbone. On the last day of camp he had an unlucky washout in a loose corner and went down. He handled the pain and frustration of crashing like a boss, and kept his chin up the whole time. Healing vibes to you Grayson, you'll be back out there in no time!
Spring Break Camp Mt Tzouhalem
Hey everyone I know we are all adapting as best we can as the COVID-19 situation unfolds. With that said, I wanted to let you know that we are still going ahead with our first week of spring break camp running at Mt Tzouhalem this coming week (Mar 16-20). If your family's plans for next week have changed and you are looking for care and coaching for your young riders, we have a few spots left.

Here is an exerpt from Paul Howard, President of the PMBIA.
"Therefore, some precautions should be considered when working as an instructor or a coach:
-Keep space between yourself and others
-Limit close contact
-Don’t shake hands
-Avoid touching water bottles, bikes, bike gear or bike tools that are not yours
-If a participant/guest shows up with signs of sickness, turn them back home and ask them to call their doctor
Here are basic protective measures from the WHO:
-Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
-Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands
-Stay at home away from others if you are sick
-Cover mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands
-If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care immediately
-Stay informed and follow the advice given by your healthcare provider
Thanks everyone.
