Our @whistlerbikeprk camps are open for registration! Jump higher, drop smoother and corner faster. This camp will analyze and develop your skills to give you the speed, style and confidence, you've always aspired to. Hurry, spaces fill up fast. Link to register in our bio. 
Our instructors aren't just certified, they teach the certification courses too. @Chuckrenaudroy has been bust teaching @pmbiassociation courses in Kamloops and also getting some laps in while he's on tour! 
TRICK TIP TUESDAY: Lean towards the danger. It’s human nature when intimidated to lean away from the thing that scares us. We see this in all kinds of adventure sports including mountain biking. Take control of the situation by being forward and assertive over the bike. This will put you in the best position possible to control both your speed and direction. If the feature is too big for you to confidently stay aggressive over the bike that’s often a good sign to come back another day after putting some work in on some smaller options.

Our coaches are stoked to be riding @TransitionBikes TR11's in the @WhistlerBikePrk. Here is @scott.fennell's newly built up beast. ZEP couldn't be more grateful for Transition's continued support! 
WISDOM WEDNESDAY: A better way to get low in the corners. WHAT: Getting low in corners is one of the best ways to improve stability and traction, but how you get low is important and here's why… WHY: One of the most common things we see in riders is bending their knees to get low for corners. If the rider only bends their knees (or bends them a lot more than their hips and elbows), this often causes their weight to go back, as their legs “collapse”. When the rider then gets compressed by the forces in the turn (especially on berms), they then collapse back even further. HOW: To help fix this it's important to focus on keeping the chin over the stem as you get low, so you stay centred on the bike. To achieve this, first hinge at the waist as you flex your elbows. This will bring your chest lower to the bars to help maintain weight on the front wheel to allow the front end to grip and initiate the turn. Another benefit is it creates more bend in the elbow to allow for better control over the angle of the bike, which is particularly helpful in flatter corners. It’s not that you can’t bend your knees to get low, but try to use the hips and elbows first, so you stay balanced over your feet; rather than only using the knees and collapsing down into the ‘backseat’. This focus of a bigger bend at the hips also allows the knees and ankles to take care of managing the pressures from the ground to keep the bike tracking smoothly. As always, the best advice is to get a coach who can watch you in person and give you feedback on the spot. But for now, try these tips and see if they help! Ross ZEP Coach & PMBIA Course Conductor 
As part of our 15 year celebration, we're taking a look back through the history books. Here, Paul filmed his first piece for television for Shaw TV. It was a small piece on ZEP and how mountain bikers could benefit from taking a lesson. ZEP's proud to have played a small role in changing the culture of mountain bike coaching from "I can ride a bike, why do I need to take a lesson?!", to what we have today where so many people are taking part in mountain bike coaching programs.
