There is no question of the influence that the media has on children and young teens. High Adrenaline sports have gained increasing popularity and fame in the past decade. Young people are watching professional athletes 'go big' and 'go fast'. They watch in awe as these pros pull off intricate tricks and show off their style and skills. Their level of performance may seem unattainable to most children. It is easy to forget that all of these pros started their careers at the same place, but everyone is a beginner at some point. So, how do beginners get past the beginner stage? How do they become confident, skillful riders? The key is to master the 'building blocks' of the sport and to progress skill-by-skill from there.

Helping kids become confident, smart and safe riders is all about progression. This is why we have created BaSE: to help our clients master the basic skills and to help them progress and gain an appreciation of the big picture of the sports of mountain biking and snowboarding. And all of this under the premise of escaping to Calgary's backyard: The Rocky Mountains.
