Heather BurgeCan honestly not think of any improvement - it was a great day. As well as the techniques instilled - the concept of trusting your bike and following the front wheel faithfully down the hill somehow struck a chord.
-
Sue McDonoughMy confidence has soared, tried stuff I would never have tried on my own.
-
Ben CultonJess, Norm and the rest of the gang run their courses in a friendly and entertaining way. A perfect way to spend a day learning new skills or refining the ones you already have.
-
Sandra Connorget 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!
-
Paul ArkellBetter control of the bicycle over drops. Controlled descents. Cornering (stay off the front brake!)...Lots more
-
Andrew McCallumHow to tackle rocky uphills and how to approach/navigate dropoffs. Looking for 'A' lines and 'the path not always ridden'
-
Ilana BurtonHad a great time, good student to teacher ratio, nothing I can think of improve the clinics

Lina RaineriWas extremly worthwhile. Improved my confidence, was challenging and allowed me to conquer some trails I was yet to master. Great teachers, and will definately be back for more! Thanks guys!
-
Lynne PatrickI road-bike alot and MB a little so when it comes to MB my confidence and skills are a bit rocky! I just want to say that I was very nervous going into the course but the instructor, teaching methods and encouragement were brilliant and I feel better equipped to practice and improve my mountain biking abilities. Hope to see you again.

Emma GilmourThe 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.
-
Mike SheppardGo with the flow,body position, don't brake sooo much, Look up, getting over things and so much more.That the trails I ride a not REAL MTB tracks, REAL MTB tracks are so much better (and more challenging)

Just sending you this email to let you know I raced round 2 of the Vic XC series on the weekend. After our training session the other day I went away and re assessed my race strategy.
-
Clare PearceThe camp met all of my expectations - I received fantastic coaching (Adam is a legend - he is so encouraging and patient with the beginners), i met great girls to ride and enter races with, had fabulous food and challenged myself to get better and more confident at riding. It is fantastic to be surrounded by a group of people (all the MTB Skills crew) who are so passionate about riding, and also encourage women to participate in a largely male dominated and challenging sport.
