Instructor Training with Endless Biking

I've wanted to get an instructor qualification for years but never got round to it. I almost took a ski instructor course last year but it clashed with some other stuff so when Danice mentioned she was thinking of taking a mtb instructor course I jumped at the chance to go along :)

Endless Biking are a North Van based company specializing in mountain bike skills training and guiding. They train instructors for all sorts of people and they are so hooked into the scene over here that you cannot fail to know about them.


The training started Friday night with a classroom session and then saturday and sunday on the bikes at a local skills park.

I have to say, the training was excellent. Both Kelli and Darren (who got married a couple months back) are phenomenal instructors and really know their stuff and how to convey it.






For Saturday night's homework we had to prepare ourselves with a lesson plan to teach four skills the following day.

We both did well in our sessions (particularly Danice - shes one of those good-at-everything people) and finished the course with good feedback from our peers and instructors :D

We're both really excited now about trying out our skills on some real students!

Thanks to Darren and Kelli for a great course and thanks also to our new fellow instructors - Candace, Johanna, Eddie, Mitch, Mitchell, Logon, Sean, Sutra, Dan, Chris and Duke.
