About Us

Thedo Remmelink Owner, Guide, Trainer

Thedo was born in the Netherlands and raced motocross. This was in a great era, when dirt bikes were very popular and there were many tracks and races. His heroes were Gerrit Wolsink and Roger De Coster. After a successful moto career, Thedo pursued alpine snowboarding- which is also about speed. As an Olympian he won gold in eight World Cups and podiumed countless times. After this, he became snowboard coach for Slovenia — producing the world champion. Then, Thedo moved to Colorado where he continued coaching. To date, he has produced 15 Olympians and coached at three more Olympic games.

Base Camp

Our Home

Our home, in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, is located in the Lower Elk River Valley. And on 42 acres we have trails with all kinds of turns, hills and whoops. All rides start and finish here. The Backcountry Discovery Ride (BDR) and the Continental Divide Ride go right by our place.

Love to Ride!

For the love of motorcycles and to explore and discover the area on dirt roads and trails. Let's share the beauty of the Rockies and the excitement of riding together. Not looking at a screen for where to go! Instead of that, sensing the bike and taking in the beauty around you. Or to enjoy fun challenges while learning new skills that will keep you safe, confident and make you ride easier and faster. Thedo loves to Flow " Let's go ride to feel good and feel good to go ride! "

Sleeping Giant

From Base Camp we literally ride into the Mystic and around the Sleeping Giant. There are so many beautiful and amazing rides in the Steamboat area that are waiting to be discovered. Before and after our rides you can relax at several beautiful locations on our land to reflect and share.

Accommodations

With the comfort of our Balance Point Hut you can relax. It is located right at the trails and has a secluded, private, natural feeling. It has a queen bed and a twin bed. Relax on the front deck in the adirondack chairs or feel cozy at the wood stove inside.

Steamboat Springs

Steamboat is only 10 minutes by car from Base Camp. Steamboat is well known for floating/swimming the rapids of the Yampa River, Natural Hot Spring soaks, locally owned shops and restaurants.

Steamboat/Hayden Airport is an easy, beautiful 20 minute drive to Base Camp. Denver International Airport is a 3 hour ride to Steamboat.

Strawberry Park Hot Springs

The ultimate treat after riding! Soak your tired bones in the hot springs. And if you want to challenge yourself like Wim Hof, Ice Man, plunge into the cold mountain creek.

The Rides

Day and multi day rides in all directions from Base Camp. This is just a sampling. We have many more!

California Park

California Park is a truly amazing ride that goes up and over the mountains and descends into a lush high alpine valley. Cruising by meadows of wild flowers and wildlife as we go by Diamond Peak and up and over Sand Mountain.

Elkhead

Twisty dirt roads and passes with beautiful mountain views. Moving through remote valleys and ranch land that have been untouched. Cowboys on their horses keep the pioneer spirit alive.

Flat Tops

Home of one of the largest Elk herds in the country. The streams and lakes are a life giving beauty appreciated by the Ute Indians who spent the summers here. You can feel it when we ride over Dunkley Pass.

Hahn's Peak

Hahn's Peak, an extinct volcano, was known for gold mining in the late 1800's. The view of it is powerful when we ride around Steamboat Lake. Dead Mexican and Big Red Park make you feel like you are in the old wild west.

Rider Experiences

David

"Thank you very much for a great session. I learned and had fun! It's certainly a different skill set on gravel and dirt compared to tarmac. David"

Cook

"I had such a good time! I will see you soon! Cook"

Steve

"Thedo is amazing! He was quickly able to assess my skill level, and instantly knew what to work on and what terrain was appropriate to my level. He patiently challenged and pushed me to a point that rapidly built skill progression and confidence, while protecting me from my reckless instincts to keep me safe and alive. Thedo provides a positive vibe that enhances learning and progression. He also is an expert at suspension setup, which resulted in a significantly better riding experience than the setup from the dealer. In just a couple of days riding, I have progressed from feeling a bit awkward and over matched by my new bike, to feeling comfortable and “flowy” even on some technical trail sections. Looking forward to our next ride! Steve"

Julie

"We started with skills training and the deliberate practice of skills got me ready for my big trip. Two days over four mountain passes with lots of rocks and sand was a great challenge. It kicked my butt, I loved it and learned so much! I feel so much more confident on my bike. Julie"
