[QUOTE="bbbom, post: 747482, member: 16301"] I believe the class Firecracker took was the Debbie Mathews class but it's an MX class. I think they had some classes in various locations but apparently, the schedule isn't available yet, more info here: [url]http://www.dmsports-wsmx.com/[/url] Some of the girls that rode the ISDE back in 02 have held a couple womens riding classes geared more towards trails in Oregon but I haven't heard anything on that since the last one in June of 03 and none of the women that were involved seem to be on the site anymore. Dave Woods holds a trail riding class that I've read some good reviews on - he's in California, here is a thread on a recent class: [url]http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?t=91390&highlight=Dave+Woods[/url] But, like Highbeam said - the best thing to do is just ride. It seems very intimidating at first but as long as she's geared up and has a bike that is reasonable for her to control there shouldn't be much of a chance of broken bones. If she's seriously worried about bruises then she better reconsider her choice of sports. There will be bumps and bruises, even with an expert teacher guaranteed! I don't think I've ever participated in any type of sport without getting some bruises. It isn't that tough to learn to ride. My boyfriend is not the best teacher in the world and I am far from the best student (never have been though) but he has managed to teach me quite a bit and I haven't killed myself yet (or him). What helps is to ride behind him and watch how he handles the bike. Then he follows me and critiques my technique. This usually works well except on those special occasions when it just po's me. He rides on ahead at those times and lets me figure out how to mangle my way through. Send your wife over here to Spokaloo and Firecracker & I will help teach her how to ride. Karl & I have taught both of my kids how to ride and now at 9 yo and 11 yo I can barely keep up with them anymore - 'cept when we get on those long open straight sections then it's roostamoney on the little poops.
