  • Heather Burge
    Can 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 McDonough
    My confidence has soared, tried stuff I would never have tried on my own.
  • Ben Culton
    Jess, 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 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!
  • Paul Arkell
    Better control of the bicycle over drops. Controlled descents. Cornering (stay off the front brake!)...Lots more
  • Andrew McCallum
    How to tackle rocky uphills and how to approach/navigate dropoffs. Looking for 'A' lines and 'the path not always ridden'
  • Ilana Burton
    Had a great time, good student to teacher ratio, nothing I can think of improve the clinics

    Was 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 Patrick
    I 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 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.
  • Mike Sheppard
    Go 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 Pearce
    The 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.
  • Tracey Sandstrom
    CONFIDENCE Riding over logs, attack position & smoother lines.
  • Aaron Fennell
    Great course, definite confidence booster
  • Andrew McCallum
    How to tackle rocky uphills and how to approach/navigate dropoffs. Looking for 'A' lines and 'the path not always ridden'
  • Susan Weymouth
    I really enjoyed it, I thought I picked the right group for my ability.I will go out now and practice, the lollies were good too.Thanks for a good day.
  • Mette Uhre Anby
    I had a really good time and was definitely challenged in a good way. I really enjoyed it all and it was great to finish doing the whole track in one and the different obstacles, we had worked with. Thanks
  • David McPherson
    Learnt heaps - correct techniques for jumping, crosiing the lareg log/obstacles, ways to conserve energy & ride smoother & more in control (Important for me !), & generally increased riding confidence
