Combine great times and fun adventures with the mecca of mountain biking, Pro Ride's professional management and world class line up of coaches will exceed your expectations.


SOME WORDS FROM THE DIRECTOR - ANTHONY CRUTE
We love what we do and we’re experts at doing it. From riding technical lines, rolling rocks, hitting jumps, exploring tree trails, teaching to teach, carving up the corners and ripping single track. We know what makes an experience great and how to create these memories day after day. We are all about being fun, flexible, personal, professional and progressive"
Director / Owner Anthony Crute



FOCUSING ON ONE THING - BEING THE BEST
At Pro Ride we specialize in lift accessed adult mountain bike camps. We decided from the beginning that we wanted to deliver a fun, progressive camp for adults from all over the world. Pro Ride is the premiere freeride instructor training facility in North America. What this means for you is that you will receive a professionally adminstered program where you will get to ride with other riders with similar goals and you will be trained by industry professionals.



THE CAMP OWNERS OVERSEE EVERYTHING
Anthony and Karen Crute live, breath and eat training camps. They oversee everything from marketing, accommodation selection, hiring, staff training, on hill coaching and even BBQ'ing. When you sign up with Pro Ride you will hang out and ride with the camp owners. This is why they started Pro Ride - so they could share all of their great experiences and knowledge with you. They work hard, ride hard and do not settle for anything less than what needs to be done so that you have a great time and achieve your personal goals.



LOW CAMPER TO COACH RATIO
At Pro Ride we know that to facilitate learning it is much more productive if you only have a few people to train at any one time. We set in stone a company initiative from day one to always have a 4:1 camper to coach ratio. We do train with up to a maximum group size of 8 however any time we have 5 or more people we have two coaches to give you that personal feedback you need to help you progress.



HAND PICKED PROFESSIONAL COACHING TEAM
Out team is our greatest asset. We are fortunate that due to our location and our continued industry participation we can hand pick some of the most experienced coaches in the world. Our staff consists of competition team riders and coaches from several different countries, pro development coaches, examiners and a guest line up of pro bikers who drop by to share their knowledge while they film and train in Whistler.



SPECIALISTS IN FREERIDE DOWNHILL AND PEDAGOGY
Many of our coaching staff are specialists and are at the top of the industry for what they do. No matter whether you want to progress your cornering, jumping or develop your skills so that you can make a living in the bike industry teaching, we will deliver what you are looking for.
NB: Pedagogy = teaching how to teach



WORLD CLASS LOCATION - #1 IN NORTH AMERICA
Whistler is the mecca of biking. Ask anyone who has traveled to other resorts and then been to Whistler if they would come back. Many people want to move here for good after spending time here. Whistler has been chosen as the location for the 2010 winter Olympics. No matter what kind of camp experience you are looking for Whistler will deliver both on and off the mountains.



EXCELLENT ACCOMMODATIONS
Having a great place to stay is all part of the experience so we have made sure that we have bright, clean accommodations that are well located to all the amenities you will need during your stay.


A Few Camper Testimonials.

"My time at Pro-Ride was fantastic - the 4 week course progressed my riding to a standard that not only let me walk through the instructor exam but also let me feel more than confident to go riding with the more experienced instructors during my time working for bike school. I met a lot of very cool people on the course and whilst living in the Pro-Ride accommodations. There isn't a better location for a camp and there isn't a better camp at this location!"

Jonny Murty, UK

"Pro-Ride is an awesome concept, without doubt the best way I have found to improve my riding, and great value too. I can't recommend you highly enough and hope to come back again some time in the future"

Dan Hayden, Australia

"I hope all is well, I just wanted to thank-you for an amazing week of Pro-Ride! I learned so much from each of you! I continue to practice everything I've learned, and find myself riding stronger each time .Thanks again!. Take Care,"

Chelsea Walters, USA

"I had no idea what it was going to be like riding in Whistler. The team at Pro Ride know every body and every great place to ride. They make it so easy to relax and have a great time. True professionals!"

Karil Troitschanski, Russia

"Hey Anthony I just wanted to write and say a big thank you to yourself and
all the Pro Ride crew. I had a class time riding with coaches like yourself
Duncan, Neil, Dylan and Lance. You are all great riders and great coaches.
Please pass my thanks on to all the coaches at Pro Ride. Will try and get some cash
together to return to Pro Ride in a couple of years to get better at reestyle. All the best"
