Trip: 2hr Private Lesson - Kanuga - with Coach Whitney Houck
Guide: Whitney H.
Our private riding experience with Whitney was fantastic! She is very knowledgeable and knows how to share her knowledge in a way we understood and could apply. Will come back to see her again!

Trip: Women's Intro to Jumping Clinic at Bike Bash
Guide: Tiffany L., Whitney H.
Whitney and Tiffany were awesome! Lots of Information and feedback packed into 2 hours! Logical progression, moved thoughtfully at the speed of the group, able to tailor the work to each person individually while the whole group moved trough the same skills. Well done, I'll be back to work with Whitney and/or Tiffany!!!

Trip: Women's Intro to Drops Clinic at Bike Bash
Guide: Tiffany L., Whitney H.
well led event. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable. For a larger group next time I’d suggest splitting the group if needed as the skills levels were greatly varying. We went back to the grass due to a few being nervous but I was ready for the drops. I would’ve appreciated having the group split in this instance to take advantage of the drop time but overall very fun event! Thanks for the lessons.

Trip: Building Blocks - Wheel Lifts
Guide: Whitney H.
It was a great experience and I learned a lot from Whitney. Her style of explaining techniques was excellent. She had different analogies that allowed me to picture how I needed to do the skills. It helped so much. And it was really fun!!!!

Tiffany is a great instructor. We learned some great foundations that allowed us to have more fun with confidence. She also made it a very fun day out in the trails!
