Real people said...
-
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.
-
Andrew McCallumHow to tackle rocky uphills and how to approach/navigate dropoffs. Looking for 'A' lines and 'the path not always ridden'
-
Andrew MItchellI had log jumps all wrong. Have to keep off the brakes, get up out of the saddle when cornering and keep the pedals horizontal through the corners. I loved Norms honest and clear approach to instructing. The kinetic thing works really well for most people and gets the message through. Really very well done.
-
Jane WoodmanI learned how to take control of my ride - I don't feel like a passenger any more! hooray! I had a brilliant time, thanks!
-
Zoe BradyThanks to Liz for such an informative day and for encouraging us to try things (more than once) that we wouldn't usually do.
-
Phil BickerdikeBraking, braking, braking!! How to ride switchbacks. How to get up and over logs (no matter the size). How to ride berms with more speed and confidence.
-
Barry DennisGreat day, came away more confident tackling logs and obstacles I walked over last visit. Thanks Barry
-
Kate MaffettSmoother log riding, how to ride the little ones faster, improved trail finesse on slow, roll-y obstacles; that I like to jump off things; norm's a great instructor!
-
Bin Dixon-WardI learned Heaps! The biggest was to slow down, get the technique right and not to hammer down out of control! So for me this means, attack position,pushing forward on steep drops, unweighting over logs and step ups and bum back.
-
Dani ErbsBrilliant just the way it is. Thanks to Liz for having the patience and making sure that we had a laugh
-
Ray LiggetI really thought Norm was very clear in the instructions. Simplified things.
-
Craig RaynerHad an absolute blast. After trying to learn MTBing by myself for quite some time, I realised I had picked up some bad habits. This was a great opportunity to learn correct technique that will help my riding.
-
Annie Simms (aka Sharons Twin)Thank you for a great day, had a lot of fun and learned lots of techniques that I can't wait to get out and practice, improve and develop into skills! Am fired up and ready to race with more confidence and will keep off that front brake! And we didn't mind Norm being the only male, he blended in well! Look forward to another course once I've mastered the basics. Thank you again.
-
John TaylorYes, I expected a great and challenging time and that's waht I got! I have now got some direction on what to work on in order to develop my skills and hopefully, I will start having a go at some events soon.
-
Cameron Maunderbetter 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...

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.
-
Neville WarburtonSome new skills - looking around corners, weighting & unweighting & feathering brakes.
-
Nick KennAdam was a great teacher and ensured everyone felt confident with their riding by the end so there was nothing that I would change
-
Anthony RoganPushing arms rather than lifting the front wheel over obstacles, particularly drop-offs; it is never is as scary as it looks (well at least that day); individual attention shown was great; encouragement without feeling any pressure to do something I didn\'t feel ready for
-
Christine TranI had a great ride and really enjoyed the challenges of the day. I learnt a lot about technique and also about how much fun mtb-ing can be. Thanks!
