All About Coach Christine
Christine’s love affair with mountain biking started during a road trip to Alaska and she has since explored trails all over the continent, from the slickrock of the southern States to the deep loam of Coastal BC, and every dirt jump in between. She wants to be the person having the most fun down every type of trail! After experiencing first hand how professional instruction could boost her riding progress and add confidence and control on the trail, she wanted to give that feeling to other riders and became a certified instructor in 2019. Since then she has taught hundreds of riders in Alberta and British Columbia.
Christine is coaching certified through the Professional Mountain Bike Instructors Association (PMBIA) as a Level 2 Air Instructor as well as completing her E-Bike and Kids Teaching Modules. Christine also holds her 80hr Wilderness First Responder and CPR certification.
