Why train with Base Camp?

 

jump2.jpgChoosing an adventure sports course with Base Camp is a life-changing decision. Whichever course you select, when you book with us, you have the guarantee that you’ll be taking part in one of the best instructor training programmes available.

 

With highly qualified, specialist instructors enlisted on every course, you’ll receive the ultimate training experience. You’ll notice a dramatic improvement in your style, performance and technique, and be in the ideal position to gain your internationally recognised qualification.

 

Including everything from teaching and technical skills, to work experience and group management – your course offers a full and varied programme that’s designed to increase your skill base to the maximum.

 

You’ll train in a small group, giving you extensive opportunities for one on one sessions with your instructor. Watching your progress on video and taking part in individual formal feedback discussions with your instructor will help you to track your progress and identify areas for you to focus on.

 

 Training in the ideal mountain terrain of Whistler and its surrounding valleys, you’ll develop your understanding of controlling your bike in a controlled and confident manner, enabling you to progress rapidly in your riding to master high end skills such as railing berms, drops, ladders and jumps, and of course, gain your Professional Mountain Bike Instructor (PMBI) qualification.

 

And while the training aspect of your course is crucial, we’re also about having a lot of fun too – both during and after training. Enjoy taking part in our exciting trips and activities, then recharge your batteries in your clean, comfortable and central accommodation, and once your energy’s back – venture out into Whistler for some serious partying!

Discover for yourself why whistler is considered the best mountain biking resort in the world.

 

The Course

 

These 4 week skill development camps include all disciplines of mountain biking (cross-country XC, downhill DH, freeride FR) providing the Whistler mountain bike experience of a lifetime, whilst ensuring the progression of your skills and confidence.

 

Riders will be coached 5 days per week, gain one-to-one tuition, video analysis & feedback and will each receive a ZEPtechniques Riding Techniques Manual; including all the theory, skills and exercises coached to you on the trails, thus maximizing the learning process.

 

ZEPtechniques' coaches will help you improve your weaker skills whilst refining those stronger ones; you'll see a fast and dramatic improvement to your technique in no time. With this you'll become a much more rounded rider, able to rip on any kind of trail you feel like!

 

Nestled right in the heart of Whistler itself, their programs, experience and coaches have all the expertise, professionalism and local knowledge to take your riding skills and confidence to the next level, whilst providing the most exhilarating and fun riding experience you’ll ever have!

 

Useful Information: In Whistler and the surrounding area there are endless possibilities for extreme sports, from bungee jumping through quad biking to windsurfing. There will be lots of possibilities for trips such as heli-biking and biking road trips to Mount Washington and Kamloops. We have an exclusive deal with local bike shops for bike and body armour rental, although you are welcome to take out your own bikes.

 

Pre-requisites: Riders must be of an “intermediate” standard, therefore comfortable riding at speed on rough terrain and off small drops no larger than 2 feet high.
