Biking Tip: End on a High Note!

The last few minutes of a ride are what kids remember. End on a good one, and they’ll be asking when you’re riding next.

Here’s how Trail Rippers does it:

☑️ Finish on a win. Make the last run a favourite loop or a feature they nailed earlier. It keeps the stoke high.
☑️ Stop before the wobble. Call it while energy is still good. Tired kids get discouraged fast.
☑️ Add a game or fun challenge. Try eye-spy, stand up with level pedals 3x on this trail, or “smoothest line wins”. It keeps things light and silly. This year the season wrapped with a Halloween ride and scavenger hunt, and the kids loved it. Thanks @bold.mtb.coach for the idea!
☑️ Name one specific win. “You looked ahead through that corner” or “Thanks for listening so well” beats a general “good job.”
☑️ Let them choose. Let them pick the last trail or route to take back or the snack spot. A little choice goes a long way.
☑️ Circle up. High-fives, stickers, power-ups or a quick highlight from each rider. Trail Rippers does this at the end of every session.

Try one on your next family ride. Happy kids make for more rides. 🧡 How do you end your ride on a high-note? We’d love some fresh ideas!

I’m looking for 5 people who’ll go all in with me on my new GHK-Cu eye serum and GHK-Cu face serum. 👀✨

I’m always my own test subject. Every formula I make goes on my face first. But one face isn’t enough. Before these launch, I want to see how they work for real people with real skin and real routines.

What I’m testing:

💙 Copper Peptide + Dipeptide-2 Eye Serum (yes, for those pierogi eyes 🥟)

💙 Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu) Facial Serum

What I’m asking of you:

💙 Use both serums every day, morning and night, for 60 days

💙 Take photos in the same light so we can compare honestly

💙 Check in with me along the way about what you notice, good or not so good

Peptides take patience. This won’t be a one-week glow-up, and I’d rather you tell me the truth than tell me what I want to hear. That’s how I make things better.

So I need people who’ll actually stick with it. If that’s you, comment TESTER below and I’ll DM you the details. 🙏

Thank you for showing up! 🤍

Guess what I’m putting on my face. 💙

Hint: it’s blue for a reason, and it’s the next addition to KVIII.

Drop your best guess below. Anyone who guesses right gets first dibs on the founders batch when it’s ready. It’s a small first run, so quantities will be limited.

Keep showing up. 🤍K8

Brave on the Bike, Brave in Life | Oct 25 | Womens MTB Workshop

How you ride your mountain bike is how you ride your life.

Join Vanessa (Bold MTB Coaching) and Dee (Eternal Wisdom & Healing) for an afternoon of women’s mountain bike coaching paired with intuitive insights and reflection on Granite trail at Predator Ridge.

What scares you on the bike can reveal what’s holding you back off the bike. This isn’t about pushing through fear by force or sheer willpower. It’s about getting curious about it, understanding intuitively why it shows up, what it means to you, and taking small, safe steps to playfully explore just beyond your comfort zone.

On the trail, we’ll work on the sections that challenge you. Through small, repeated exposure in a supportive setting, you’ll start to shift what you believe your body and bike can do together, and turn a new skill into something that feels normal. We’ll also look at common habits that hold riders back, like hesitating at the last second, dropping into the back seat to brace, dragging the brakes through a feature, and staring at the thing you’re trying to avoid.

Along the way, you’ll be invited to reflect: Where else is this fear showing up? What are you shying away from that could open up something new and fun in your life?

Want to sign up? Use the link in my bio, or head to my stories for a quick link.

Let's go!!

Three races. One month. One Okanagan Triple Crown. 👑

⚡ Cranksgiving — October Oct. 3–4
🍑 PeachDuro — Oct. 18
🔥 PedalFest — Oct. 25

Race all three and you’ll be entered to win Triple Crown prizes. We’ll also crown the fastest overall man and woman to complete the full series.

🚨 IMPORTANT: If you intend to complete the Triple Crown, you must let the organizer of each event know that you’re racing all three. The events use separate registration systems, so we have no automatic way to track Triple Crown riders. No notification means we may not know to include you!

Three races. Three weekends. One heck of an October.

Who’s going for the crown?

20 years off a bike, it was time to get back in the saddle 😳🚵‍♀️

So grateful for Vanessa at @bold.mtb.coach who changed everything. I was nervous, unbalanced, and got frustrated at some points during the lesson, but she was prepared with different exercises to keep me motivated and always checked in to see where my head was at.

Her patient, step by step coaching took me from barely making it 3 feet, to going the distance up the hill and back!

If you’ve always wanted to try mountain biking or rebuild your skills from the ground up, check out her next beginner clinic on September 14th!

Spots fill up fast, so grab a friend, get out on the trails, and have the best time discovering kelowna 🌲🩵

Good people, good weather, good dirt! Such an amazing evening of support from our local community. Thank you to @bold.mtb.coach @strong_kelowna @hooke.ca @sailpleinairoutdoors for supporting this event. This summer has been a big reminder of why we continue to work on climate solutions. The Okanagan Valley had 28 days of air quality warnings in August and thousands had to evacuate their homes due to wildfires. The need for climate action has never felt more immediate.

Des gens formidables, du beau temps et une ambiance du tonnerre! Quelle soirée incroyable grâce au soutien de notre communauté locale. Merci à @bold.mtb.coach @strong_kelowna @hooke.ca @sailpleinairoutdoors pour leur soutien à cet événement. Cet été était un rappel indéniable de l'importance de poursuivre nos efforts pour trouver des solutions climatiques. En août, la vallée de l'Okanagan a connu 28 jours d'alertes de qualité de l'air et des milliers de personnes ont dû évacuer leur domicile en raison des feux de forêt. L'urgence d'agir pour le climat n'a jamais été aussi pressante.
