DevineRIDE mountain-bike camps, which rocked
the Kootenay region last summer, are back by popular demand. DevineRIDE hosted two successful women’s mountain-bike camps last summer, and now the
word is out. These camps have established a reputation for delivering a
high-caliber camp that focuses on the quality of the rider’s experience,
good organization, and qualified, fun instructors.
The hosts — past World Downhill Mountain-Bike champion Cindy Devine and
World Extreme Skiing Medalist champion Kirsty Exner — were pleased with
their inaugural season. “It really couldn’t have gone smoother,” says
Kirsty. “We had a great turn out and great riding. You can’t ask for more
than that!”
This is an exciting year for DevineRIDE because it is the first year of
operation for Red Resort’s new bikepark. This year, Red Resort will be the
stage for the Red Freeride Camps hosted by Kirsty Exner and DevineRIDE, and
their experienced team of talented and respected mountain biking stars.
The DevineRIDE instructors received rave reviews from participants. Cindy
and Kirsty will be joined this year by local Rossland rippers Steph Robinson
and Chris Lawrence, and by several riders from nearby Nelson, including Maya
Grosch, Deb Mackillop, Mike Kinrade, and many others. This will be a strong
team loaded with talent and experience.
The DevineRIDE mountain-bike camps are weekend events. Riders participate
in two days of skills instruction, lift-access rides or ride/shuttle access,
and technical seminars, plus plenty of time to socialize with fellow riders.
There are trails for all abilities and a skill-development area to help
participants learn to ride “skinnies,” do jumps, ride the steeps, and go
fast.
There will be women-only and co-ed camps for individuals ages 13 and up.
Spaces are already filling up. Riders interested in Red’s bikepark camps
