DrtPdlrs specializes in youth mountain bike instruction, guiding and sharing the stoke of riding..
Our intermediate-to-advanced day trips and camps take Twin Cities youth (12-17 y/o) to the country’s premier riding destinations where we guide and instruct the “how and whys” in real time. Skills and confidence are gained and the stoke is shared among a community of riders who love exploring where riding can take them.
HOW WE ROLL
TRAINED
WILDERNESS MEDICINE
Our lead guide is a National Outdoor Leader School certified Wilderness First Responder. Managing the risk inherent in outdoor recreation through a progression-based methodology that feeds the stoke is our top priority.
EXPERIENCED
CERTIFIED SHREDUCATED
All lead instructors and guides are certified by BICP and/or PMBIA. These organizations are the best - the gold standard in instruction methodology. We firmly stand behind them. We’ve seen their methods work firsthand -- their instruction techniques have helped our riders and our team.
STOKED
LEt’s GOOOOO
We grew up in a time of “huck and pray”. This approach to advanced riding led to skinned-knees, numerous goose eggs and too many bruised egos to count. That’s why we are on a mission to guide and develop the future generation of riders as they learn the art of respecting the send.
WE WENT BIG IN 2022, level up and come with us in 2023.
Dustin Schiltz - Lead Guide/Instructor
DrtPdlrs’ goal is to inspire the #futureshred of Minnesota who, when given proper instruction and guidance, are stoked to learn what they are capable of on and off the bike.
Mountain biking can take us to some pretty amazing places and help us all discover a sense of self-empowerment along the way. We believe our riders will gain self-confidence, newfound bike skills and develop a passion for exploring the outdoors.
