Matt Returns with Three Mates

Sticky Post By On October 9, 2019

I coached Matt on a public session in May and he wanted to return with his 3 mates David, Iain and Dave for a private session to work on their individual skill sets even though their abilities differed. I focused on positioning hugely today with them and that followed onto their head game.

The session moved through hopping logs to cornering, steeps, drops, jumps and gaps.

All four of them concentrated on their missing skills and worked hard at redressing them and slowly it all pieced together, with a few laughs thrown in too.

Mick, Chris And Tim’s Session

Sticky Post By On October 7, 2019

I had coached Chris and Mick a couple of years ago and this time they were here with their mate Tim for his 50th birthday present. Tim was worried about being able to ride the stuff they would but his fears soon were forgotten. I had to work on positioning in corners as well as when jumping. They wanted to get better at drops but also gaps too.

Jonny’s session

Sticky Post By On October 3, 2019

I have coached Jonny a few times over the years and he wanted to return as he had begun to feel like he was being bucked on jumps and landing heavy front wheel and knew I could correct this, aloso his cornering in his words had gone to shit. I broke his skills set right down again so he could understand what he was doing and why then I pieced it all back together again. Boom! what a change.

Joel’s Session

Sticky Post By On September 30, 2019

Joel made the trip down from the Scottish Boarders for his session with me. He wanted to work on drops and jumps and had never cleared a tabletop jump before. That was about to change.

I corrected his set up and missing skills from his skills sets and then everything changed in his riding. Foot positioning and body positioning were in need of correction and he took the change on board to change his perception of his limits.

I have coached Damo, Sean, John, Pat and Dan previously and their riding buddy Craig wanted to come along on their session too. I worked on the physical skills first and then really focused on their mental game.

What a session and what an end to a week of coaching. Im blown away by these guys!

Jon And Jason’s Session

Sticky Post By On September 16, 2019

What an awesome start to the week’s coaching. I had coached Jason a good few years back and he wanted to return with his mate Jon to identify and correct any errors in their skills sets.

I worked on looking and positioning for this session and then applying the mental skills to judge speed and whether to ride things.

Lee And Tim’s Session

Sticky Post By On September 12, 2019

Lee has booked two sessions with me and this was his first. His riding buddy Tim joined him last minute to make it a two to one session. I have coached Tim before and I was able to move them both on in their riding once footwork and positioning were corrected. Steeps, jumps, pumping, riding over obstacles, corners and drops were all ridden and a huge smile on their faces said it all.
