Ferni’s journey into the world of mountain biking began long before she arrived at Sea to Sky. Back in her homeland of Chile, she felt the thrill of the trails and the rush of adventure early on. However, it was upon discovering the expansive network of trails and the vibrant MTB community in Sea to Sky that her passion truly ignited.

Driven by her desire to share her expertise and love for MTB with others, Ferni pursued certification as a PMBI 1 and 2 air instructor. For her, every day is a fulfilling adventure when she witnesses the progress and joy reflected in the smiles of her friends or those she coaches. Ferni continues to inspire and uplift all those who pedal with her on the trails.

Joaquin grew up in Chile and has been riding bikes since he was 16. He began instructing before moving to Canada and has worked as a professional outdoor guide since 2015. With a background in downhill racing and a natural shift toward freeriding, he brings a unique blend of technical skill and flow-based riding to his coaching style.

He moved to Squamish in 2020 for its legendary trails and never looked back. As a certified instructor and guide, Joaquin brings a calm, supportive, and progression-focused approach to every session, helping riders build confidence and understand terrain in a fun and safe way.

Joaquin is also RideHub’s Operations Manager, overseeing the daily functioning of the shop, rentals, service, and coaching programs to ensure every guest has an exceptional experience from start to finish.

Florence grew up in Quebec has been calling the Sea to Sky home on and off for the past eight years. She started off in the XC world, but it didn’t take long after moving to Whistler at 18 for her to trade spandex for full-face helmets and fall in love with enduro and downhill.

Since then, she’s combined her passion for sport and education, earning a degree in teaching and now working as a Physical Education teacher in Squamish—sharing her love for movement and adventures with the next generation.

Outside the school, Florence is fully immersed in the mountain bike world—riding, coaching, and leading community events. You’ll often spot her at local enduro races or hosting women’s rides as an ambassador.

A certified PMBI instructor, she’s ready to share her passion, build skills, boost confidence, and break down barriers so more women feel empowered and welcome on two wheels.

Her ultimate riding companion? Sammy, her big, fluffy adventure dog who never misses a chance to hit the trails.

Guillaume has been riding mountain bikes for as long as he can remember. He started lapping his grand-parents garden in 1989 on what was barely a road bike with wider tires and a flat bar and never looked back. He’s been riding mountain bikes continuously for over 30 years.

Guillaume has lived through the advent of front, then rear suspensions, V-brakes, hydraulic disk brakes, 3, then 2, then single chainrings. He doesn’t miss the front derailleur!

Avid practitioner, former racer and keen traveller, he’s put his tires on the dirt of four continents, rode with people from all around the world and at every level, from humble beginners to former national downhill champions.

Nowadays he calls Squamish, BC home, where he landed in 2019 after spending his teenager years day-dreaming of, one day, riding those incredible North Shore tracks.

Living in the Mountain bike Mecca, Guillaume started a career shift from office work to mountain bike coaching in 2023. He’s currently holding a PMBIA level 1 certification and Wilderness First aid.

His enthusiasm about riding bikes is contagious, and from the second his pedals start spinning, you can be sure to see a smile on his face. He’ll happily share his secrets to make any rider a better, faster and safer one.

Annie Roy, a resident of Squamish for over two decades, has been deeply immersed in the world of mountain biking for the past fifteen years. Her journey into coaching began during her time as a gymnastics coach in Montreal, seamlessly blending her passion for biking with her coaching expertise.

Since Ridehub’s inception in 2018, Annie has had the privilege of serving as a coach with great enthusiasm. Proficient in navigating black-level trails, Annie is confident in her ability to coach at this level while exercising discretion when it comes to more advanced trails. Her expertise lies in technical riding, slabs, rolls, and park elements such as jumping and dropping. Annie holds a PMBIA Level 2 Air certification acquired in the Whistler bike park and boasts over twelve years of riding experience.

Annie’s passion for coaching and guiding around Squamish spans all skill levels. Her love for coaching is evident in her dedication to helping riders reach their full potential. For Annie, coaching isn’t just a job; it’s a labor of love. Witnessing a client experience that “wow” moment is what drives her. There’s no feeling quite like knowing she’s made a positive impact on someone’s mountain biking journey.

Originally from Catalonia, he grew up riding bikes and his dream was to one day ride in BC. Over the years, his passion for mountain biking kept influencing his life and in 2017 he made the move to the Sea to Sky. He has since been exploring all the riding areas in the corridor and enjoys sharing his passion with fellow riders.

He loves to push his limits in a safe and controlled way and transfers this philosophy onto his coaching – “Crazy but not stupid” is his life and riding motto.”

Originally from Marin County, California (the birthplace of mountain biking)Chris has been calling BC home for almost 20 years. After escaping work as a film technician, Chris worked for several years wrenching and managing bike shops while building his skills as a coach. Certified as a Level 2 PMBI coach, Chris loves working with clients to help them level up their riding, tackle new challenges on their bikes, and build their confidence. When not at work Chris enjoys traveling and good food!

Kevin has lived and mountain biked in Squamish since 2018. Passionate about helping others experience and enjoy the amazing riding in the Sea-to-Sky region, Kevin is excited to help you improve your skill set and/or show you some of the wonderful trails in Squamish.

Ed grew up riding BMX in the south of England before getting into mountain biking when he was around 16. He’s been hooked ever since and has let his Bike take him all over the world before landing in Squamish BC!

Ed is all about having fun on the bike and teaching others how to do so. Beginners to advanced, pro to first go, Ed will get you out on the trail shredding and smiling.

Ed’s BMX background combined with experience coaching on the mountain bike gives him a fresh perspective out on the trail and translates to a fun and progressive coaching experience.

Meet David, he’s a level 2 mountain bike coach and guide certified through the PMBI + BCIP associations. David has been a bike coach since 2021. With a background as a personal trainer, his journey into the world of cycling and fitness ignited at a young age and has only grown stronger over the years. Originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba. David moved to Squamish in 2020 to mountain bike.

When he’s not shredding trails, signing up for the next enduro race, he can be found working out in the gym, playing soccer or exploring the trails with his family. David loves the outdoors and is passionate about coaching others and helping them become more skillful riders.

Pete’s first sport was judo, and his last one will almost certainly be mountain biking. In between came a long, bruising love affair with rugby the backbone of his athletic life, followed by a stint in triathlon once he’d absorbed all the tackles a body reasonably can.

Bikes, though, have been the constant. He picked up mountain biking in the early ’90s, raced a little XC at university, and never really stopped turning pedals. Since 2019, he’s called Squamish home, where the only real challenge is deciding which world‑class trail to ride first.

Coaching is the newest chapter. Pete is freshly certified as a PMBIA Level 1 instructor and just getting started. He’s not pretending to be a grizzled veteran what he brings is decades of experience as a lifelong athlete who understands how bodies move, adapt, and build resilience. Expect a coach who’s patient, genuinely curious about what makes you tick on the bike, and far more invested in helping you build steady, durable confidence than in sending you off the nearest feature.
