BetterRide Course Dates and Locations
– 2023 –

I really enjoyed the skills class. Gene is a great instructor!

Each skill was broken down into small steps, and as we practiced each step we could see improvement with each refinement.

Working largely in a parking lot, we were able to focus on learning the skill without having to worry about the terrain of a trail.

Several of the skills I ‘knew’ how to do (I have taken lessons in the past), but I realized I was either taught wrong, or Gene’s way worked better.

Several things I knew how to do, but didn’t know why it was done that way…Gene was able to explain the reasoning behind the technique which I really appreciated.

I came away knowing the how and why of all the common MTB skills, so now I have lots to practice.

I am slowly seeing my riding improving, conquering obstacles I couldn’t before, and gaining speed.

COVID-19 amendment: Any course cancelled due to a regional, local or federal COVID-19 response such as a stay at home order can be refunded (minus the $50 Paypal fee) or rescheduled to a later date.

We must adhere to our cancellation policy in order to maintain the price structure of our camps and not lose out on the potential of the spot. Please do not ask us to make exceptions. BetterRide does offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee but you must take the camp to get this refund.

We strongly recommend that you purchase trip insurance to protect your investment. You never know what emergencies might pop up before or during your trip.
