Elliott wanted to get better at cornering for his xc racing. The skills check really magnified his errors in his skills and i could see his left hand turns were very weak. I also found positioning errors in his other techniques and I needed to correct these before the real rider in him could evolve. Elliott had never got his wheels into the air before and I gradually moved him through the mental skills. I moved him through just getting over a small to stick all the way to 7ft gaps and 20ft tabletop jumps and everything in between. I loved coaching Elliott and i could see how much it mattered to him too. Amazing session.
