Ready to leave the boys behind? Our Women Only programs provide female
riders with the opportunity to develop gravity riding skills in a supportive,
enthusiastic environment surrounded by like minded ladies.
We believe developing a strong foundation of fundamental bike handling
skills leads to a sense of CONTROL, that control lends itself to
CONFIDENCE, confidence which transforms into COURAGE; the courage to
CHALLENGE oneself to CONQUER fears and bring riding to the next level.

safely are practiced and applied on our green and blue terrain.
