Ethan Krueger – Athlete and Instructor at Kootenay Adaptive

Going through the level 1 course gave me the tools to confidently articulate what I’ve learned as an adaptive mountain bike rider in a way that is understood by someone who may not have the experience I have. This in turn helped me sharpen the fundamentals of my own riding and provided me with a much more solid base to instruct from. The Level 2 course allowed me to work on the much-needed progressions of adaptive mountain biking, learning how to instruct in a way that promotes progression and takes riders to new levels of riding in a way that keeps them motivated and their stoke level high!
BICP believes in riders teaching riders, which means adaptive riders teaching adaptive riders. I’m very grateful that BCIP has provided me the opportunity to instruct and promote adaptive mountain to the countless people who are looking for entries into the sport.

Jamie McCulloch – ED of Rocky Mountain Adaptive

“The BICP Adaptive Mountain Bike certifications have been of incredible value to our Adaptive Sport organization. The professional certification not only brings increased credibility to our programs, but has elevated our staff and volunteers that have participated in the course, with increased knowledge, skills, and confidence in being able to teach and lead our lessons. One highlight of the courses being fully inclusive for riders with lived experience of disability is that it has provided a professional development pathway for advanced adaptive riders to pursue a coaching and instructor pathway, gaining employment, and making sure there is representation from the adaptive community in contributing to and leading the evolution of the sport. I would very much recommend this course to all organizations that offer or are looking to offer Adaptive Mountain bike programs.”

The BICP course, both level 1 and 2, has allowed me to confidently lead many women getting into adaptive mountain biking for the first time. The amount of detail and practice we go through has me thoroughly prepared for anything that may come up as an adapted mountain bike instructor. I even improved my own riding skills, something I didn’t imagine doing at the beginning. There is always something new for someone to learn and this course is the best for
mountain biking instruction!

Cullen Robinson – Program Manager for New England Disabled Sports

“As a program coordinator, as well as an instructor I was really happy with the package the @icp.bike brought to the table. From an organizational standpoint, scheduling was extremely easy and our ideologies matched up! Working with Nicole and Mike has been an absolute pleasure. A phone call and a few emails were all that it took for New England Disabled Sports to host TWO level 1 aMTB certification courses over 5 days. The fact that @icp.bike is a non-profit is another reason why we picked them over other certifying bodies. Whenever we had a phone conversation with the @icp.bike team you could tell that their only goal was to make sure that high-quality recreational instruction was available for everyone. From an instructor standpoint, this course was invaluable for me and has allowed me to teach a safer mountain bike lesson, as a one-on-one instructor, or lead a group ride. The keywords
learned, in the course associated with each skill give you a solid ground to stand on for a SAFE progression.”
