The coaches are a pretty big part of what makes RideTheory, RideTheory.

They’re there for the technical stuff, of course, helping riders figure out why that corner feels weird, how to get through a steep section, or what exactly their bike is doing when it decides to go somewhere else.

But they’re also there for the little things.

The silly antics that give riders a laugh. Thoughtful tips that finally make something click and loads and loads of encouragement. The energy that makes trying something new feel a whole lot less intimidating and whole lot more fun.

And honestly, we really love this crew. They’re friends on and off the bike, they genuinely enjoy riding together, and they bring a lot of that same energy to the people they coach. There’s a lot of laughing, a fair amount of messing around, and a whole lot of cheering each other on.

Thanks coaches! You're all the best.

Jumps and drops with the adult crew in Fernie, BC.

These sessions are less about going bigger and more about getting comfortable with the basics. How to approach a feature, where to put your body, when to brake (and when not to), and how to stay in control.

Coach Creag makes it look easy and breaks down each step for the riders. The results: More fun in the air.

📸 A few of our Ridetheory coaches after a day of summer camps in Fernie.

This is what a lot of summer has looked like for them: early mornings, bikes lined up at the trailhead, riding, teaching, answering approximately 400 questions a day, fixing things, encouraging riders, and somehow still having enough energy to ride themselves after work.

Every coach brings their own style, experience and personality to the programs, but they all care about the same thing, helping people become better, more confident riders and have a good time doing it.

They’re the people behind the lessons, the high fives, the small breakthroughs and the big ones too.

We’re really lucky to have this crew.

Left to right: coach Aaron, coach Alexa, coach Quinn. future coach Mat Corkum, coach Alina, coach Creag. Missing: coach Clayton, coach Nathan and our behind the scenes team.

This summer, Coach Aaron and Coach Alexa spent some days celebrating big moments on some very small bikes. A first glide without training wheels. A rider who finally found the confidence to pedal on their own. A child who started the week holding a parent's hand and finished it racing toward another lap.

Our Learn to Pedal program is about building confidence, independence, and a love for being outside on two wheels.

There were plenty of wobbles, countless high-fives, and more smiles than we could count.

One of the best parts of coaching young riders is watching the moment everything clicks. You can almost see it happen. Their shoulders relax, they stop looking at their pedals, and suddenly they're riding. Then they look back with a huge grin that says, "Did you see that?"

We definitely saw it.

A huge thank you to Coach Aaron and Coach Alexa for creating a fun, encouraging, and supportive environment for every rider this season.

Here's to the milestones, the laughter, and all the little riders who discovered just how much fun riding in the Kootenay's is.
