Tom From Australia Pt1

Sticky Post By On April 23, 2019

Tom has come over from Australia for two consecutive sessions. I coached Tom 3 yrs ago on a singletrack skills public session and he returned for more coaching.

I capitalised on his sporting background to really reinforce his skills set physically and mentally.

I covered lots of different applications of the skills today, from riding over logs to riding gap jumps. I was able to show him why he was loosing his front wheel on left hand turns as well as linking jumps together too.

Tomorrow , I will build on the awesome foundation we built today.

Tweaking Nick’s Riding

Sticky Post By On November 22, 2018

Nick came to me for mountain bike skills coaching to understand why his jumping was hit and miss and lacked height too. The skills check showed him why and also that he was weak in his cornering too. I worked hard on his positioning and footwork in all areas and in particular jumps and right hand turns.

From a public session last year to a private session today.

Sticky Post By On October 9, 2018

 

I coached Rob last year on a public jumps and drops session and he wanted to return for a private mountain bike skills coaching session to develop his cornering and trail fluidity, as well as bring his jumping on more too.

I was able to use his muscle memory from other sports to really improve his grip control in turns but also in riding drops, tabletops, wall rides, gap jumps and drops offs. Linking them all together was the order of the day before we ended the session with over coming the head game of wall rides.

The Bayliss brothers

Sticky Post By On October 8, 2018

I have coached Mark before and this time his Brother Andy came along for another mountain bike skills coaching  session. I was able to use Andy’s motorbike experience to really cement his new skills set and I was able to push Mark on further too.

Drops, jumps, drop offs, wall rides, berms and linking drops and gaps together were all covered. An amazing session unfolded.The pics will tell the story.

Vince and Julian’s session

Sticky Post By On May 16, 2018

When asked what they both wanted from today’s session they said confidence and maybe jumping. I explained that confidence comes from control and then began the skills check to show them why things needed correcting.

I worked on their set ups, their physical skills and then the mental skills where I challenged their perceptions of ho to do things.

Brilliant progress guys!

Skills give them wings

Sticky Post By On May 4, 2018

Chris and Oscar arrived for their session and wanted to work on their cornering as well as jumping. I adjusted their set ups and worked on the main missing physical skill before piecing the session together. Drops, corners, pumping, jumping tabletops and gaps were all worked on as well as wall rides and ladder drops.

A great session unfolded as their new corrected skills became more ingrained.

Stuart polishes his skills

Sticky Post By On April 27, 2018

Stuart is an avid snowboarder and finds his mountain biking to be a great supplement. I was able to use his experience in that to adjust his skills set in mountain biking.

He wanted to know why his jumping was hit and miss and it was his cornering that really got better.
