She was very patient and gave great instructions !
Erin was amazing! For a beginner class, she had the perfect mix of challenging us while make sure we were still enjoying ourselves! Her instructions and demonstrations were easy to follow and she definitely helped build confidence in everyone in the class through her constant feedback and encouragement! This was my second class with Shred Sisters and I’m certain I’ll be back to take another one soon.

I came to the course struggling with my climbing and cornering. With the instruction on body position, technique and a ton of encouragement, I’m leaving as a stronger, more confident rider & climber.

I really enjoyed Audrey’s beginner course! She was very patient and gave great instructions, especially for the technical aspect of the course!! I learned so much this weekend to help improve my off road riding and am excited to apply everything I’ve learned on my next ride!! Especially smoothly rolling over logs in my way!!! 🙂 –Â
