TESTIMONIALS

I was so impressed by the Yukon trip!! It was the first trip I’ve done with Sweet Skills and it exceeded my expectations. The lodge was also so amazing, comfy beds, great food, and everything you need to feel at home! I was so happy to have such fantastic coaches with different things to offer and beautiful people as well. My riding improved as did my confidence, so that’s a bonus!
We had full days with everything organized for us, which was a real treat! If you have the opportunity to make it on one or more of these trips, I highly recommend it! We will be looking to do another!

 I have been taking part in Sweet Skills clinics for the past three seasons and look forward to it each year! I have met some of my closest friends through these clinics! The coaches are top-notch rockstars with a wealth of knowledge and expertise on how to take your riding to the next level!

I can’t say enough good things about Sweet Skills coaches. They are hands down the best. Learned more in 10 minutes with them than last 2 years on my own.

Alyssa, Whistler

The coaching is truly top notch. Would highly recommend Silverstar to intermediate and advance riders as the lessons really pushes you to progress on more advance skills. Also it’s more difficult to find camps that you get to learn features, drops, cornering, and jumps all in one weekend. Thanks to all the coaches, it was a killer weekend at SilverStar!

Cara, Silverstar

Amazing clinic! Was so great to get back to the basics and foundations after a big crash. Very much appreciate the patience and tailoring the program to each rider. Feeling my confidence coming back after a weekend with you guys and so stoked to apply the skills we learned to ride better and safer than before! Thank you!!

The Finale Ligure Sweet Skills/Big Mountain adventure was all sorts of awesome. The coaching was excellent, the people a blast, the riding endless, the accommodations lovely, and the seaside town a gem of a place. I highly recommend this trip and would love to go back again.

I attended the Rock Rolls Clinic and it was SO valuable, and well worth the money. The coaches are fun, friendly, and knowledgeable. They provided specific feedback to each of us which helped with quick progression on features to build up to tougher features in the same day that I’d never done before. I’ll definitely book other clinics with them!

Danielle

Loved loved loved my steep’n’loose clinic in a very small group what gives enough time and space for everyone. Coaches are amazing, fun, skilled, knowledged and simply pro’s. Highly recommend 10/10.

I could not have been happier with my experience in Sweet Skill’s beginner clinic.The instructors did a great job at pairing similar skill level and like minded individuals. Not only did I learn the correct techniques to get into mountain biking, but I built up my confidence on the bike, and riding the trails in Whistler. Stacey was great on customizing the class based on what we wanted to learn. She was extremely positive and encouraging, but also didn’t pressure us into trying any sections we weren’t comfortable with.

Briana

I did the 3hr bike clinic and 100% RECOMMEND IT! It was a game-changer for me. Not only can I talk the talk at the bike shop but I don’t feel completely useless looking at the settings, cables, and bolts on my bike. I feel a lot more confident knowing what to look for, before I ride, and what to do if something happens while riding. I can’t believe it was a three-hour clinic, time seriously flew by. Well done.

Catherine

A big shout out to your coaches, they are awesome instructors! Excellent at breaking down each feature, walking us through step-by-step, building upon our skills, helping us be more independent, and most importantly, giving detailed feedback to each rider. I learned so much! I’m definitely hoping to do another clinic with you guys next summer!

This is my third trip with Sweet Skills and I keep coming back because of the amazing mountain bike destinations, the personalized coaching and making a bunch of new friends that love riding as much as I do.

Sweet Skills is absolutely amazing! Their coaches help you overcome your fears, build your confidence and help you ride trails that you only imagined you could! Overall… sweet skills is sweet!

This one has really touched my heart. I met these 2 little gems of twins who were struggling to be independant on their bikes… and their parents struggling even more trying to teach them. I wasn’t going to stop until these little guys could pedal on their own! Regardless of their learning disabilities we percevered and found the right path of learning for them. Now they are on their own pedalling like little kids should. Everybody needs this freedom in their life!

Sylvie

The main highlight of the trip was the coaches, they were amazing! While the trip in itself is mindblowing, the coaches delivered an outstanding customer experience and made the trip so special by being knowledgeable, amazing riders, great coaching skills, funny, patient, etc. It said on the website that this would be the highlight of our summer and it turns out to be true!

After a year off of riding due to injury I was looking for a riding adventure to celebrate my return to riding. The Sol Mountain trip did not disappoint! Amazing scenery and trails, delicious food, awesome group of ladies to ride with, and skilled coaches. I can’t wait for the next trip!

I took two courses in Valemount and it really changed my riding. I am a 54yr old former cross country racer. I used to out climb many of my competitors or outlast them, then hang on on the downhills and hope for the best. The weekend put me on the right track to making me a more balanced, well rounded rider. I did one of our local trails tonight, a test piece that gets more technical the faster you go. It was a totally different ride!

Sylvie goes above and beyond in teaching the women of Whistler to ride and ride well. She has more fun coaching and guiding women in learning to ride than anyone else participating. So much joy and it is crazy contagious.

Julie M

Sylvie gave me the knowledge and confidence to approach and ride obstacles that would have taken me forever on my own. There are many talented riders out there, but finding a kind, fun, patient, and confident female who has the gift of being an exceptional teacher is priceless.

Holly

I could rave all day about Sylvie’s mountain bike classes. Her inventive strategies, on-point advice, and great attitude give even the advanced riders something to improve on. And, I love how she gets so excited when you have an ah-ha moment in your own riding.

Lisa, S

Thank you for the awesome clinic, it’s really helped my confidence with what is possible for me! My riding has progressed because of it. Thanks for creating a safe, supportive and fun environment to try new things. I’m not sure I would have gotten down all those steeps without it!

Sharon, H

Thank you so much Sylvie, Beth and Emily for such an incredible adventure ❤I loved every minute of it! The trip exceeded my expectations. It challenged me and stretched me, but was so giving with the incredible views, tested my abilities and encouraged me to step up and ride at a higher level. The ladies we rode with were amazing and added so much fun to the ride dynamic. I would definitely come back and join in for another trip!

Belinda H

I just wanted to say thank you to Sylvie and Emily for a top notch experience! I never knew that I could learn so much from just a day of coaching. These ladies broke down the skills and created a fun atmosphere. Not only did they provide a wealth of information to walk away with and work on; they also provided us with feedback, and pictures on the spot to help us understand what we needed to work on. I’m already seeing an improvement in my riding and would recommend anyone to take a clinic from Sweet Skills.
