Testimonial
Would recommend it to anyone!
I had a great time! The instructors were amazing and the class of women were great! We all exchanged numbers and hope to shred together in the future!
The way the skills were layered and explained helped me understand how to move my body in order to achieve the movement I needed (especially cornering).
I was challenged and overcome some obstacles that I had previously avoided which felt great!
I gained confidence, skills and friendships! I love that it was woman encouraging woman!

Shred sisters does an amazing job. I haven’t taken a bad course yet! I really enjoyed our group and felt that we were all similarly aligned in our values and abilities. I know that’s difficult to predict, but it definitely made the course more fun. Like I said previously, having Kate shadow Lindsay was also great as it provided additional support and value. Both instructors were amazing and I loved their vibes. They both had different views on skills which gave more perspective and I felt like the tips were easier to digest.

I haven’t been on a mountain bike for several years. Taking the intermediate course has helped provide me with the tools and techniques to ride trails that I would once never even think of riding. Audrey was extremely encouraging and helpful throughout the duration of the program and took the time to help and provide feedback to every rider in the group. I have been already talking to friends about the program and would recommend it to anyone at any level who is looking to improve their riding skills.Thanks!

I’ve felt like a “beginner” rider for quite some time and was only slowly progressing. I wanted to challenge myself and be apart of a group that had skills I could also learn from. Taking the Intermediate course was great! I also loved having a chance to ride trails I’ve ridden in the past but really break down the line choices and challenge my way of thinking about how to ride them. It was awesome and has really motivated me to try harder trails and test the skills I’ve learned.
