I had an absolutely amazing ride with James in Squamish. I'm an experienced rider, but what James brought to the table was an invaluable knowledge of the trail network that i would never have been able to navigate by myself. I found the ride challenging, exiting and above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend RideBC to beginners and experienced riders, theres no better way to experience Squamish riding, you won't be disappointed!.

James was an absolute jackpot find after I googled "Squamish MTB Guides"!. We were sad when it concluded. How often do you get to ride with a guide that built some of the trails in a world-class MTB destination? Among other things, James is a philanthropist, trail builder, expert rider and guide, and a geologist.....Totally interesting and likable guy with an abundance to give to his clients. Only hope to return!

We did a half day guided ride with James. We had a great time! We were hoping to get a taste of Squamish rock slabs, and that is exactly what we got. Warmed up on a couple smaller slab trails and worked up to In N Out Burger & Take Out the Donut. James has a high-level ability at judging riders' skill level and catering the experience on the fly to suit. Mixing in elements of a riding lesson with a guided ride where needed. A guided ride is the best way to maximize time on quality trails.

Booked based on the solid reviews and I could not have been more happy with my choice. James was great to deal with and my guide Jake was legit one of the nicest guy I have ever met and of course highly skilled and knowledgeable. We hit all of the killer trails. I had an absolute dream day and couldn't imagine a better person to bring through the amazing network. I will book another trip soon and these guys will be my go to!

“Perfect Pamplemousse conditions year round! Great route finding and a well thought out build with drainage means this trail stands up to abuse and gives an awesome ride experience every time! The most fun and flowy trail in Squamish - It suits a lot of levels, and you can have fun interpreting it in your own way.”
Remy Metailier
Rampage Athlete
”Pamplemousse and The Donut are two super fun trails. Well built and flowy despite challenging terrain. They are built very sustainably, which is key for high traffic trails, especially in a rainy place like Squamish”
