RIDER DEVELOPMENT

 

The AASA/HOW Rider Development Program divides skills into developmental levels: WHITE, RED, BLUE, GREEN, BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD.  AASA's operational partner, House of Wheels conducts series of Lessons and Classes each season to help with the basics in the WHITE, RED, and BLUE levels.

In WHITE, RED, and BLUE levels, riders learn to ride safely and progressively. They develop basic skills, techniques, and practice-makes-perfect attitudes for developing higher skills. 

They are then prepared to take the CRUSH IT CHALLENGE, the progressive program that takes riders definitely to the next level!  In the challenge riders prepare & record video clips of 5 skills they select from each level . At each level riders take their clips in to a House of Wheels facility to show them to HOW staff; they then receive a Crush It Challenge Sticker for that level.

It is that simple.  Once you've got the basic skills mastered, whether through Lessons and Classes or on you own...
