Chris came to me to work on his fear of jumping and the skills check showed me where the seat of this fear laid. I broke down his jump technique and separated what he was trying to do into a simpler action. It was his cornering however that really took off as he used his skiing experience to really start to carve his turns.
Jumps & Drops
From Triathlon To Flyathlon
See what I did there š
I used to race against Colin over twenty years ago in triathlon and he was recommended my coaching for mountain biking. It was awesome to see him again and to coach him at his new chosen sport of mountain biking. He wanted to learn to jump, but the session went further than he thought as I brought him through jumps, drops, steeps, cornering, riding obstacles and so on. Colin applied his new skills to everything using the mental skill set i teach.
Amazing session dude!
Jumps And Drops Public Session 13/5/19
Below are pics from today’s public jumps and drops session. A cracking session with 8 riders. Well done all!
A Father And Son Session
Lucaz and his 10yr old son Artur arrived for coaching wanting to get better at judging speed and to get over their mental block of gap jumps.
What a session it turned into as as soon as I had corrected their set ups and physical skills errors it all clicked. Gaps to 13ft, 14ft tabletops and linking gaps and jumps together, drops, style, berms, wall rides you name it. They even started jumping over each other!
A Father And Son Skills Session
Darren and his son Tom came to me via recommendation. They wanted to polish their riding and move it on with understanding what to do and why on their mountain bikes.
I worked on their physical skills sets as well as the head game and before you knew it, they were riding smooth and faster than before.
Drops, steeps, corners, pumping, riding over obstacles, jumps and gaps were all demonstrated and they followed suit.
Where There’s A Will
I coached Will today (see what I did there?) and he wanted to understand what he was doing and why when hitting jumps and drops. I isolated his skills set and showed him what needed working on.
I also worked on the head game too as we moved through lots of applications for the techniques I teach.
