Graham wanted to work on his riding all round. The skills check showed the weakness he has in right turns and also his technique for jumping needed isolating and correcting. From there,I built the session.

Ian And Mark Wanted To Learn To Jump
Among other techniques but on meeting, I explained the simple skill set I teach and it’s application.I corrected their missing skills and made some small adjustments to their set up (explained in my youtube vids )
Looking and positioning were paramount in needing work and also Marks’ footwork. Jumps, drops, berms, steeps, obstacles, pumping and gap jumps were all ridden and they both understood when it was right or wrong and why.
Bryan And Ross
I coached Ross two years ago and he return with riding buddy Bryan to move his riding on but also iron out some errors he felt in his riding.
I adjusted their set up and worked on positioning and the all important looking. Foot position on flat pedals made a huge difference too. I think the pictures tell the tale better than I can.
Dave And Andy Fly
Dave and Andy wanted some coaching to learn to carry speed through turns , ride over logs and learn how to jump properly.
I broke their riding down and made a small adjustment to Dave’s set up and away we went. The session unfolded under the blue skies and what a session it was. Now they knew about their body positioning and understood the mental skills , their riding really bloomed.
Tom From Australia Pt1
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.
