Totally new to mountain biking, a little (or more than a little) out of shape, and in no way feeling like I could conquer some of the trails, to say I was nervous when I got to my first class would be an understatement.But those nerves were quickly put to rest.Laura was a super fun, and skilled instructor who was always so encouraging and positive.The skills, knowledge and most importantly, confidence that I gained during the course has been invaluable. Every class was something new, complete with new challenges and new things to conquer. And conquer we did!I came away with new skills, a whole lot more confidence and a group of new friends! Highly recommend.

I've now done a couple of rides with Shred Sisters and have had so much fun and learned tips and tricks to help while biking along the way! Super helpful with questions via email before the course and really great guides on trail. I can't wait to sign up for one of their bike skills sessions!

I had a great morning discovering new trails with Audrey and the group. The guided ride was really fun with great views to boot.

The guided fat bike ride of Canmore was great! The coach gave us a few super helpful tips on the way and ideas of other trails to ride. Super enjoyable morning!

Super knowledgeable and fun instructors. The ladies know how to describe things in just the right way for me to understand! When doing exercises, they're also really good at being encouraging while gently correcting technique.

Audrey and her ladies are so incredible! They are encouraging, confident, and believe in all of their riders. The time they take to teach skills, give tips and tricks, and build participants up makes their courses a must for anyone wanting to shred!

I signed up for Shred Sisters beginner course with the hopes of gaining the confidence to downhill bike but I have gotten so much more from it. Going back to basics and learning proper techniques has been incredibly beneficial for me (and my bike!) The foundation has been re-built giving me far more control. My confidence has skyrocketed I am overjoyed to take my new found skills to the trail.I would ABSOLUTELY sign up for another course through Shred Sisters. The group dynamic and overall fun atmosphere of learning with women was incredibly empowering! So happy I joined this biking community and that I was able to learn from Shred Sisters talented & knowledgeable instructors.

I cannot say enough good about this program. If you are a beginner, want to take your riding to the next level or simply hang out with a cool crew with a 100% guarantee your skills will improve without you even knowing it, take this course. There is no need to be intimidated. This course is designed by women, for woman and every bit of it has been broken down so you get everything out of this you could possibly want. I gained more confidence in the first three hours than I gained in my first year of riding.

I did an intermediate weekend course with Shred Sisters in Bragg Creek and it was a great consolidation of skills that you need for those true blue/soft black trails! I learned a couple of game changing skills and refined other techniques that I've been working on. The instruction was very clear and included tips on maintenance and safety. Also - so much fun! Laura was a very upbeat, positive instructor that gave us each individual attention. Thank you Shred Sisters!
