I think I spelled it right. But she hopes to make it next year. if she's ready to progress skills wise and is enthusiastic, I'd highly recommend that she look at the one I go to, www.devineride.com in Rossland. You can google Bike Camp RR's and penny s and should come up with my reports. I won't bore you with the details, you can read them if you want, but it is the best investment I've ever made in my biking, and there are riders here who can attest to what it's done for my riding. I've never been to Skurtzendirt, but I know gals who go. Tuffgrrl went once, and now goes to Canada with me. She's told me I would hate it as it's too mellow; good for beginners. If you read on the extras page of their web site, "Our group sent our volunteer Kerry (the fearless Canadian) down first to check it out and as we watched her skid down, it only made me want to try it more. " How any camp in good conscience can advocate skidding is beyond me. Based on these things it's certainly not a camp for me. Penny |

Penny In the skills clinic our club offers, we use skidding to teach proper braking technique (how not to skid). We do not do this on trails, we use a grassy hill at the local county college. -- o-o-o-o Ride-A-Lot o-o-o-o www.schnauzers.ws |

I dunno, there's something about that quote that really bothers me, makes it seem like skidding was ok, or cool P, |
