Mike DugdaleI enjoyed it so much, such a buzz afterwards. I really came away feeling that my riding ability has gone from being a passenger to being able to have some skills to build on.I am now ready to have a good go at Marriners and try feel alot more confidant about the Forrest 6 hour. Thanks to Liz for being a great teacher, she really made it alot of fun, which it should be. I'll be back for more. Mike.

Tracey SandstromCONFIDENCE Riding over logs, attack position & smoother lines.
-
Aaron FennellGreat course, definite confidence booster
-
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!
-
Neill PertThe camp was brilliant. Lives up to all the descriptions in everyway, and I am a much happier rider because of it
-
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...
-
Ashley BleekerReally enjoyed the course and I'm now telling all the guys that we (road) ride with (who dabble in mtb to differing degrees) how good it would be for all of them to come down and spend a day with you.
-
Jarrod StonhamSmoother riding over log rolls, holding speed through corners and climbing technical sections and rock gardens properly
-
Ray Teichert
Heaps. Basic skills - positions, (un)weighting, cornering, small obstacles. Looking where you want to go rather than where you don\'t. Breathing when concentrating (don\'t laugh - this has really helped!)
-
Marianne Sparkslove the format - Kerry was great - very patient and knowledgeable! Can't wait til June when I can come down to Forrest for a play.
-
nigel burnettstraight arms bum back ,keep off the brakes esp front,throw bike forward and lots more hard to be critical.Jess did great job
-
Neville WarburtonSome new skills - looking around corners, weighting & unweighting & feathering brakes.
-
Tim AndrewsI was a relative newby so I learnt a lot. Particularly appreciated the helping hand on handling steep ascents and descents and climbing logs.
-
Tristan Edis
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!
-
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)
-
Melissa PurcellThe log riding was fantastic and the down hill position
-
Felicity KennI was a total beginner and it was great to learn lots of really helpful techniques - riding positions, cornering, riding over obstacles etc. I also improved my confidence loads, and I'm now looking forward to tackling the trails again!
-
Fran BullenHow to tackle a corner while going down a small hill, so as not to feel afraid of going too fast and coming off.
-
Neville WarburtonSome new skills - looking around corners, weighting & unweighting & feathering brakes.
-
Neil HarringtonInformative,friendly,fun.Learn't heaps, what a great day!
