Ride to Remember.....in the best way! - Jason lived up to all the wonderful comments I had read before booking. He is extremely client focused.......down to having sunglasses for each rider. He was so patient and encouraging throughout the ride and took us thru amazing terrain. The views were unforgettable! Fun, fun day!

Worth the effort - The tour guide Jason has more energy and personality that a classroom of elementary school kids at Disneyland

Fun. Safe. Amazing Views. Awesome Guide! - Jason was an awesome guide! My wife and I went as part of our anniversary trip and we weren't disappointed. He took his time and made sure that we were safe, and had a lot of fun along the way. We had amazing views, and and he caught some very nice pictures for us along the way. Definitely recommend his tour and would love to do it again when we are in the area!

Just book! - I did this ride with my 17 and 15-year-old and we had a great time. It’s incredible how much ground recovered and the E bikes were very easy to learn how to use there were some thrilling downhills yet we felt safe the entire time the views are amazing Would definitely recommend

Amazing Adventure with Awesome Views - Jason and Jasmine were great guides. My friend and I have different levels of experience with mountain biking, but the E-Bikes were worth it. I was concerned as a beginnner, but Jasmine stayed back with me and was helpful with making the most of this trip - guiding with gear shifts and when to lift up the seat, etc. Going downhill can be scary if you don't know how to control your bike, but man oh man, what a thrill. Amazing views of Malibu from the top. A little scary if this was your first time, but it was quite the adventure. We would definitely come back again. Afterwards, Jason recommended a few places to check out in the area that had spectacular scenery.

Best excursion our family has done. - Jason took care of us insuring everyone had a great experience. My wife is inexperienced while my son and I are avid riders. Jason took extra time providing my son and I some fast and exciting riding. Beautiful views as well.

The name LifeRush is appropriate! - This was a very memorable and thrilling experience. Our guide Jason was a great instructor and got us up to speed quickly on using these very advanced bikes. Although my buddy and I had a a fair amount of experience with road bikes, this was something completely different. The eBike allows your to get up onto steep crest trails that would be otherwise inaccessible and then you bomb down these same steep roads.

Top tier Fun in Malibu - Amazing guides, impressive equipment, great views. Jason and Jasmin were warm hosts and competent guides, good coaching on equipment and some history of LA along the way. I am definitely impressed and would do it again.

Challenging and Fun Family Adventure - Overall, we had a great time and loved this experience! No regrets. Jason was prompt, and well prepared with excellent equipment and biking accessories. He was very organized, knowledgable, and gave great tips along the way so that everyone could be successful. The description of the trip on the website isn’t entirely accurate, and granted, the weather definitely changes the conditions (two days of rain prior made for big ruts and muddy conditions). It was not a smooth-flowing trail that was easily navigated by riders with no experience, as advertised. We were thankful that we have experience with road (peddle) bikes, dirt bikes, and motorcycles, otherwise, this would not have been enjoyable. Even with our peddle bike and motorbike experience, this was a challenge and intimidating at times. It was also super fun and thrilling. To make this experience even better, 15 min or so of prep time before hitting the trail would have been ideal. This would have given Jason time to explain what to expect of the terrain and conditions before we left. Also, time to acclimate to the bike on the pavement before the trail would have been very helpful. Riders need a few minutes to test out the buttons and gears and get the feel of the bike. We have biking experience, but electric mountain bikes were new to us. The instructional time before hitting the trail was way too quick. More of a soft start probably would have allowed Jason to be more patient with us in the beginning. He seemed very pressed for time and irritated by more conservative riders. By 3/4 of the way through he seemed more patient and tolerant of the variety of rider abilities in our group. He seems to prefer more mid-advanced riders. Our group of 6 consisted of ages 16-52 years old; 2 females, 4 males. Perhaps taking inventory of rider’s experience beforehand would help him know his group better so that he could adjust his expectations and teaching accordingly. Before you go, ask about the terrain conditions and what to wear. Dark clothes/old shoes or biking gear recommended. We do feel like we could go back today and do it even better now that we’ve done it once and know what to expect. The views were amazing and it was worth it! A challenging adventure even for typical adventurous and athletic families. I would recommend this to friends/family that could handle it.
