West Coast Freeride Guides - A new adventure vacation company in Whistler, BC

Author: Robert Rebholz, Brooklyn Bike Riders

A beautiful example of riders making a living at what they love to do, the West Coast Freeride Guides, Ltd., owned and co-created by local freeride entrepreneurs Michael Hallett, Brian Cameron and Mike Harvison. Together, with their passion to ride and their desire to create their own destiny they have developed tours that will showcase the lifestyle and culture of the mountain biking communities in British Columbia that until now resided only in mountain bike videos and magazines. All of their trips are designed for the intermediate to advanced rider and range from 5 and 8 day all-inclusive trips; heli-biking, single-day shuttles, and customized guided mountain bike adventures.

All multi-day trips include meals, a camp manager, bike service assistance, camp set-up, and fully qualified and experienced guides. They have guided mountain bike tours throughout British Columbia's premier freeriding towns such as, Whistler, Squamish, Williams Lake, Kamloops, Kelowna, Penticton and the infamous North Shore.

The range of trail riding West Coast Freeride Guides offers is impressive. They run daily shuttles to the slick rock heaven of Squamish and dry and dusty Pemberton with descents so steep they require a parachute. The North Shore is also within striking distance with Seymour, Cypress and Fromme to choose from. Beware, these guys know the Shore like the backs of their hands so don't follow too close and wear your body armor. The interior of British Columbia is a favorite overnight trip with several destinations possible. The inland empire of Kamloops is a must for all who love blazing single track with massive stunts. Williams Lake is another interior option with the friendliest locals who love showing off their new stunts. Either way you can't go wrong, if you contact the West Coast Freeride Guides they can help to tailor a trip with your riding style and the time you have available in mind.

Riding with the West Coast Freeride Guides not only brings you to the trails, but they also show you how to ride them. Expert trail riders, Hallett and Cameron will show you the lines by blazing them. They are also tight with local legends everywhere from Penticton to Williams Lake, so chances are you‘ll not only be riding with trained guides, but pro or semi-pro riders. On our trip to Squamish I sat next to the Bronze winner of the 2003 Red Bull Rampage in the shuttle van, Glyn O'Brien. Ride with West Coast Freeride Guides and you'll not only be riding the best trails in BC, but also with the best riders.

Their mission is to provide the best riding experience in a safe and fun environment. With West Coast Freeride Guides you will ride away with new friendships and experiences. The province of British Columbia is extremely beautiful, and can't wait to have you join them on their next mountain bike tour.
