FAQ - JEM Trail

  • Fitness always helps but we can tailor this ride to meet your needs. We might push you a little further than you would go on your own- but this is not boot camp - unless you want it to be.
• I don't consider myself a technical rider, will I have fun on this trip?
  • If you like to push yourself and try new things, and have a positive attitude you'll have a great time. You'll be a better rider at the end of this trip.

• Should I keep my trip as a private trip?
  • We allow people to open teir trip up for others to join. If others join it lowers the cost for everyone. If you are worried about holding others back or vice versa, or you don't want to go riding with kids, you should elect to keep your trip private. We do try to screen each group to see if they are compatible.

• Can you guarantee my safety?
  • Not necessarily. Biking has inherent risks and dangers. Unlike canyoneering or climbing we do not have a safetyline on you while biking you are free to make decisions at will. You can ride off of precipices, into trees and cactus, into others and over the bars. We as guides will alert you to hazards and instruct on technique but the end results are in your hands. We do advise that you ride within your abilities and we will help define your abilities. Part of the joy of mountian biking is trying new things and pushing yourself on new terrain. That said, it is also a good idea to return from your vacation in one piece with all of your teeth still in your mouth.
