I coached Simone over 10yrs ago and she loves riding but recently hurt her self crashing and realised its always the same right hand turns that she struggles with as well as using speed to jump , not technique. During the skills check I discovered why she struggled in turns and worked on her body and foot positioning to give her more control and that led to more speed. I needed to separate her jump technique, so I pulled it apart into both its component parts and rebuilt that too. The result of the day was clear to see. Jumping higher and needing less speed for distance as well as railing various types of corners with comfort and speed. Simone said she’d found the joy of mtbing once again!
