Line Choice And Stuff

Sticky Post By Tony Doyle On August 16, 2019

I have coached Gerald before, two years ago in fact and he wanted to return to find out why he feels so sketchy in corners but also to move his riding on further. He showed me a video of his riding and washing out in turns but I’d already seen why when watching him ride his bike during the skills check. I worked hard on his footwork and positioning and linking drops and gaps into turns all session long. What a session it was too!!!!!

Otto And Deb’s

Sticky Post By Tony Doyle On July 11, 2019

Otto and his wife Deb’s wanted to come to me after hearing from his friends bout going to see the Jedi (my nickname). The skills check showed looking,footwork and positioning needed correcting and that would then allow them to explore the mental skills in their riding.

Mike And Chris Learn To Jump

Sticky Post By Tony Doyle On May 3, 2019

Mike and Chris came to me after reading reviews and wanted to learn to jump. As they both skateboarded before I was able to use their muscle memory from this to really enhance their skills sets both mentally and physically.

I broke their skills down and formed new techniques as I corrected looking and positioning for them. I worked on drops, steeps, cornering, jumping tabletops and gaps and linking them too!

Matt came to me via recommendation and wanted to feel more comfortable on his bike and understand what and why to do things.

I worked on looking, positioning and feet placement during this session and his riding went from strength to strength

Today went ahead with three riders after two had to pull out last night due to their work. I was able to cover lots of applications of the skills set I teach and the boys all flew!

Andrew And Simon’s Session

Andrew and Simon booked a private session wanting to work on all areas in their riding. I watched what they were doing physically during my skills check and armed with that info, I set to work.

They wanted to work on jumping but it was cornering and steep terrain that really changed how they think about riding mountain bikes.

I Have coached Tim previously and he returned with H and Chris for a session. They wanted to understand what to do and why in their riding and I set to work.

I worked on installing a simple skills set that really made a difference to their riding. Drops, gaps, pumping, riding obstacles, cornering and steeps were all on the menu and nailed.
