Ride more of the best bikes on earth
The list of "Best things about camp" just got a little longer. We've expanded our fleet of bikes this summer so now you can ride the sickest bikes from Transition, Banshee, Santa Cruz, Morewood, Intense, Rocky Mountain, Specialized, Spank and NS. We are working to add brands to our stable of bikes so you can ride and compare so when you hit your local shop, you can get exactly the right bike for your riding style. Every summer we get brand new bikes and they are tuned for you at the start of each session. Usually only the pros get to ride a bike tuned for their weight, size and riding style. At COC we want you to have every advantage you can get to learn faster. A new bike is one. A tuned bike is two. Three is a selection of bikes so you can find the bike that suits your style of riding.
The Sickest Spec'd Bikes in Whistler
Every year we like to do things that make you think... "What! Are you kidding me?" This year the change that fits that billing is the specs that the bikes are built to. Our Ride Along Mechanic® spent all winter talking to companies to make sure that when you ride one of our bikes you get to ride a World Cup calibre build.
This is a list the companies parts you will find on our bikes this year. You can use the parts to build your dream bike in your head or just click on brand of bike you want to ride at the top of the page. Your camp bike is spec'd better than a lot of pro riders bikes.

Tuned Bikes®
Our Ride Along Mechanics® tune the bike you are going to ride to your weight and riding style. Imagine how much better you will ride when you are on a bike tuned to your weight, with the suspension, sag and fork rebound tuned for you. This is usually only something that the pros get to experience. Every evening after riding Rob and our mechanics go over every bike with a fine toothed comb making sure the bike is in perfect shape for the next day. This keeps mechanicals to a minimum so you don't miss any runs in the park. EPIC! A lot of the fun of biking is hanging at your local shop squeezing brake levers and dreaming, so we've added that to camp too. We've moved our shop out to The Compound so you can hang and watch the bikes get tuned, soak up some knowledge and then ride the Big Air Bag and hit the Dirt Jumps. "Droppin' knowledge like Gallileo dropped an orange."
Ride Along Mechanic®
Again this year we have Rob and others as our Ride Along Mechanics®. The only thing worse than flatting or blowing something up on your bike is the time wasted fixing it. Now if you have a "mechanical" it's mellow. Our Ride Along Mechanic® will swap bikes with you so you can keep riding, then after he's fixed your bike, catch up to you and swap you back. No more wasted runs. At COC our bikes are brand new not rentals, so your bike is less likely to breakdown to begin with. At night Rob will be tuning every bike and making sure that your bike is perfect and still feeling like a brand new bike every morning.
