I first coached Paul last month and he returned to build on that session and to work on his jumping and flow.
I began gradually and built upon the previous session and worked on his mental skills set. He’d hoped to ride some more gap jumps and that wish was soon granted but the session was so much more! Steeps, linking drops into gaps and flowing through jumps and even beginning to tweak the bike mid air too.
I can’t wait to see him gain and push it on again.
Alex and Tom ride an e-bike and standard bike respectively and wanted to share a private mountain bike skills coaching session with myself. I explained that their is no skills difference between either bike and that it is themselves that have the greatest effect.
They wanted to learn to get air and perhaps clear a tabletop but the session gave so much more.
Mick and Chester ski and snowboard together and wanted to come to me for mountain bike skills coaching to find out why their riding is a bit hit and miss. looking and positioning were worked on and it wasn’t long before they were riding smoother and faster and also with far more control in steeps, drops, jumps, corners and drop offs.
Edd has been riding for 3 or so years and wanted to find the why in his riding. He wanted to understand what is happening when it’s right or wrong on his mountain bike and I first had to discover his missing skills. Armed with this I worked on his positioning and footwork and then applied these to various sections of trail and trails.
I spent four days in north wales and stayed at@oldskoolmtb
What an amazing time it was and an awesome place to stay. we rode with our host Lewis lots and also hung out together too. From natural rides to trail centres rides at coed y brenin. Snowdon was a blast as was riding from the b+b @oldskoolmtb to get to and from the awesome trails of coed y brenin.
It’s not about who is fast it’s about the smiles in my group.
