Pro Ride has become such an integral part of my journey of self-evolvement and has given me a new lease on my thoughts, actions and priorities for the future, it has given me confidence, strength and new friendships. I believe my riding has substantially improved and would like to think I look much better shredding than I did at the start!

So much thanks to the instructors who coached and had so much fun with along the way Tim, Joel, Lance, Vincent, Alan, Pete, Dan, Terra, Dom and Duncan. My biggest thanks however goes to Karen, owner, boss, general big cheese and coach of Pro Ride, you rock! You certainly are the pillar that holds and pulls it altogether. Organised, professional, fun, relentlessly hardworking, amazing Mum, and friend. I have met some strong women in my time but I have got to say I think you win.

Congratulations on 20 years of Pro Ride, what an achievement. I can’t wait to return and ride the majestic mountains of Whistler with such an amazing group of people again. Thank you x

Karen,

Thanks for taking care of me this week. I had a lot of fun.

I want to say that both Tim and Duncan were wonderful coaches for me. I appreciated having Tim for 4 days and then Duncan for the last two.

Overall Feedback: I really appreciated the FreeStyle class ratio 1:4. Sometimes we even had more than 1 instructor. This allowed people to get more dedicated attention. I super appreciated having the 1:1 attention with Duncan. It really propelled my riding to the next level. It's during the session with Duncan that the lessons from Tim really came together from earlier in the week. It's like the puzzle pieces finally clicked. This is exactly what I had hoped to achieve this week.

Also, the accommodations were nice. It would have been great to know in advance that there is laundry on premise. Otherwise, rock on!

I will definitely consider coming back to Pro-Ride in the future. Perhaps give myself a season or two to work out the things I learned and incorporate into my riding.

Cheers,

Vincy

Hi Karen,

I just wanted to get in touch to let you know that I picked up my Whistler staff pass yesterday and finalized all the paperwork to be a snowboarding instructor.

I can’t thank you and the other Pro-ride coaches enough for the coaching and for the contact which helped me with this employment opportunity. You guys made last season amazing for me and I’m looking forward to build on that this year.

Kindest regards,

Hi Karen ,

A special thank you to yourself, Tim and Terra as well as the rest of the team for the free ride week. My time could not have been better with the amazing powder conditions. The team exposed us to back country, knocked out my bad habits significantly improving my technique and self awareness. As a snowboard camp, I recommend pro ride!

Pro ride is an amazing experience, you have some of the best freestyle/freeride coaches In the world at your finger tips. I rocked up to the pro ride camp (Brio house) solo, I wasn't really sure what the camp was going to be like or whether I'd make some new mates. But after being on the camp I can say it turned out to be the best snowboarding trip I'd ever taken. I had made some life long friends and Karen is super nice and friendly. If you're reading this and you are a beginner to freestyle and have never tried a 180 or freeride off piste the coaches are all really nice and will walk you through the technique to the tricks and help you improve your technique until you nail it or if you are experienced in the park these coaches can help you dial in your 7's/backflips/wildcats whatever level you're at. So if you're pondering whether to try it out... do it. If you want to make some new friends and get coached by the best of the best then this is definitely for you.

From Pete the happy camper

P.s. I had never landed a 3 before this camp nor did I spend much time in the park as my confidence was pretty low in the park... I am now glued to the park.
