  • David Johnson
    Thanks for a great MTB skills day on Sunday. Jess was outstanding. Her patience, focus on each student, and clear description of each skill and how to perform it made the day both fun and informative. Because of your course structure and Jess’ coaching skills I could see and feel an exponential improvement in my riding as the session progressed. This was reinforced a number of times in the second half of the session but non-more-so than the entry into the Boulder run. Seeing the rock wall and then breezing over it confirmed to me that I had metabolised the…
  • Ilana Burton
    Had a great time, good student to teacher ratio, nothing I can think of improve the clinics
  • Stephanie Coleman
    I had a really fun day, thanks heaps guys. The all girls environment was great. Am hoping to further improve, definitely keen to do another course with you. Cheers!
  • Stewart Lewis
    The course is conducted in light hearted and encouraging vein. We were given plenty of opportunity to practice each new technical challenge. There was plenty of opportunities to push the envelope later in the day with a range of technical challeges.
  • Cameron Maunder
    better cornering technique - had no idea that cornering on flat I should be back of the seat - If anything I thought my weight should be forward! Pumping on a drop, track standing tips.. um, I ride too big a chainring most of the time.. The "truth" behind offroad rolling resistance tire pressure and UST (will be looking into Stan's soon), "Look up!" In the rockgardens... Un-weighting the front end - never thought of it that way, just tended to smash my way through obstacles. Torque bars make an excellent dessert in a pinch...

    Got exactly what I was looking for out of the course and can now execute with confidence the jumps I'd been eyeing off for some time. Norm also helped to identify a number of bad habits in my technique which I wasn't even aware of that were without doubt the reason for some previous nasty falls. I also now know how to pull off a move I've seen on MTB videos but which had confounded me in the past. Thanks a heap!

  • Carolina Alvear
    Yes I have learnt so much because I was a real beginner and the course has made me more enthusiastic to continue with MTB riding.
  • Peter McWaters
    I really thought the whole day was run very well. The intros were excellent, a great icebreaker and Norm's instruction was top notch. I think you are doing a wonderful job.
  • Peter Findon
    One of the best days out riding I've had in a long time. Fun, learnt a lot, met some great people and got to ride some wicked trails.
  • Neill Pert
    The camp was brilliant. Lives up to all the descriptions in everyway, and I am a much happier rider because of it
  • Emma Gilmour
    The clininc was everything I was hoping it would be and more. I don't have anything to suggest to make it better. The group sizes were perfect, the instructors lovely, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun and most of all it increased my enjoyment of mountain biking. i can't wait to get back out there.
  • Lance Cupido
    A fantastic day of technique refinement, with some fear conquering on the side, all washed down with some of the finest singletrack in the country. The small group sizes and the intructors engaging style made for a thoroughly challenging day that was also laugh out loud funny.
  • Tracey Sandstrom
    CONFIDENCE Riding over logs, attack position & smoother lines.
  • Sandra Connor
    get off the seat more and why it can be more effective to use a higher gear on uphill corners rather than just spinning through. How to ride safely on very steep descents (with arms locked out, using shoulders to turn). I could already ride the terrain, but I felt that many of the tips and ideas Jess shared are going to help me ride faster and look better when I'm doing it!
  • Jane Woodman
    I learned how to take control of my ride - I don't feel like a passenger any more! hooray!  I had a brilliant time, thanks!
  • Marianne Sparks
    love the format - Kerry was great - very patient and knowledgeable! Can't wait til June when I can come down to Forrest for a play.
  • Adam Smith - and mates
    We all really enjoyed the course, a great demonstration of how little we know about the techniques and skills required to be smooth, fast and safe. Very impressed with the professionalism, content and sheer level of capability Norm demonstrated, he quickly found the different levels in the group (which is very wide) and made sure everyone was comfortable with what they were doing and getting something out of it. The trail we used was perfect, the obstacles were challenging without being dangerous.
  • Matt White
    Looks where I'm going, rather than where I am. Stop & think/review the tracks I'm riding. Weighting & unweighting techniques reinforced. Have more faith in grip of tyres on rocks. Push down with arms while cornering to improve grip. I have a mental issue with the rock berm on boulder track, which I want to overcome.
  • Ee Ther Wee
    Cornering. Trail pumping. Over logs. Are excellent refinement to my mtb techniques. Thanks Adam!
  • Peter McWaters
    I really thought the whole day was run very well. The intros were excellent, a great icebreaker and Norm's instruction was top notch. I think you are doing a wonderful job.
