Real people said...
-
David McPhersonLearnt 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
-
Peter McWatersI 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.
-
Tony dos SantosDefinitely did. Each section I learnt a bit more. It was great to stop and practice and then go back and practice again. Each section showed me what to look for and how to tackle the obstacle.
-
Julia GunnLots! Fundamentals which were crucial for me. Gained lots of confidence to try things I wouldn't have previously considered. Had an absolute ball.
-
Susan WeymouthI 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.
-
Josh MilesImproving these clinics would be hard, this one was very well run and thoroughly enjoyable and as I told Norm at the end of the day, I could not turn the pedals any more if I tried but I had learned a lot - this was perfect.
-
Ray LiggetI really thought Norm was very clear in the instructions. Simplified things.
-
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.
-
Neil HarringtonInformative,friendly,fun.Learn't heaps, what a great day!
-
Karl LeimingerClinic was great, excellent instructor, great knowledge of track, helpful comments, already a first class clinic
-
Beth MeadesI thoroughly enjoyed the day and thought it was pitched at exactly the right level. Thank you
-
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)
-
Karen SutherlandHow to (correctly) get over an obstacle instead of the usual just shoving the bike towards it and hoping for the best! I hadn't realised I was doing so much 'wrong' or rather that I really didn't know the basics, so great to learn them and good that Norm told us that even elite riders sometimes don't have this knowledge - puts it in perspective. It was a really well-thought out day - very enjoyable!
-
Andrew Fergusonlots. Its easier to do this stuff with a bit of speed, well at least more than I was doing them at. Hairpins and releasing the front brake, pushing the bike forward over obstacles. Maintaining speed over obstacles/drops by launching
-
Erin Slattery
Learnt heaps, generally speaking the course improved my confidence but specific learnings included learning how to turn tight corners whilst travelling up hill, log roll overs and smoother riding on tight single track.
-
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.
-
Andrew McCallumHow to tackle rocky uphills and how to approach/navigate dropoffs. Looking for 'A' lines and 'the path not always ridden'
-
Michelle ElvyI had a great day!
-
Robyn Bell
Just a quick note to say thanks - and well done! You have found a great niche in the market for a professionally run program, and are doing it extremely well. You have a winning formula - stick with it.
I found the day highly motivating. We laughed, we cried (from the laughter - not from the crashes) and we learnt a lot! Adam is a great instructor who guided us through the day brilliantly.
-
Neville WarburtonSome new skills - looking around corners, weighting & unweighting & feathering brakes.
