Thanks for a great MTB skills day on Sunday. Jess was outstanding. Her patience, focus on each student, and clear description of each skill and how to perform it made the day both fun and informative. Because of your course structure and Jess’ coaching skills I could see and feel an exponential improvement in my riding as the session progressed. This was reinforced a number of times in the second half of the session but non-more-so than the entry into the Boulder run. Seeing the rock wall and then breezing over it confirmed to me that I had metabolised the skills learned earlier in the session. I got everything I could have hoped for out of the day and will definitely be coming back for more. Well done to the whole team.

A fantastic day of technique refinement, with some fear conquering on the side, all washed down with some of the finest singletrack in the country. The small group sizes and the intructors engaging style made for a thoroughly challenging day that was also laugh out loud funny.

One of the best days out riding I've had in a long time. Fun, learnt a lot, met some great people and got to ride some wicked trails.

I am struggling to think of a better way that the course could have been run. Well done! I know that there was only one day, and I was exhausted at the end of it anyway, but in an ideal world (where I was 15kg lighter with had heaps of energy) I would have liked to have more flowing repetition. This is dictated a lot by the terrain, but if there was a really short looped trail with a drop off, a jump, a log and a steep section that we could repeat ten times in an hour, I think it would have helped cement the techniques we were taught. If you find such a place, please let me know!

Thanks to Liz for such an informative day and for encouraging us to try things (more than once) that we wouldn't usually do.

Really enjoy the trails out there as always. It was great to get advice on line choice / setting up for obstacles - with which I managed to nail a drop on Mariner's on my second go which I kept stuffing on previous visits to Forrest. The fact it became second nature when I hit it a couple more times later in the day means you've managed to get me setting up for trail features a bit better already.

Great instructor knowledge and nice to be able to learn from someone genuinely willing to teach! Thanks Norm.

i found the course very enjoyable and informative

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.

I had a really fun day, thanks heaps guys. The all girls environment was great. Am hoping to further improve, definitely keen to do another course with you. Cheers!

We all really enjoyed the course, a great demonstration of how little we know about the techniques and skills required to be smooth, fast and safe. Very impressed with the professionalism, content and sheer level of capability Norm demonstrated, he quickly found the different levels in the group (which is very wide) and made sure everyone was comfortable with what they were doing and getting something out of it. The trail we used was perfect, the obstacles were challenging without being dangerous.

I just wanted to send you a quick note to say a huge thank you for 1) the great skills day course on 18th Oct and 2) your fantastic enthusiasm and encouragement at the Surf Coast on Saturday. I had SO much fun on that course and it is in large part due to the things you taught me the previous weekend. I felt confident at every point on the course and so enjoyed the whole thing far more than I would have just a few weeks ago! My favourtie tip, "Keep off the Front Brake!" made all those corners so much more fun :-D

The course was an excellent oppourtunity to learn new things, reinforce and to realise some ways to improve our energy expenditure

putting my new techniques into practice has made riding soooo much more satisfying!

Great day, came away more confident tackling logs and obstacles I walked over last visit. Thanks Barry

Great course, I\'m recommending it to the others I ride with

Great course, definite confidence booster

What a fantastic experience. Normally rainy days keep me at home, but the skills clinic had me clearing obstacles and railing berms with a new found confidence in the rain and mud. A great way to learn new skills and get off the couch! A must do for any rider

I really thought Norm was very clear in the instructions. Simplified things.

My confidence has soared, tried stuff I would never have tried on my own.

Had 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.

Even if you only pick up one or two new techniques and a little extra confidence (and you will) you will ride away from this course a faster, safer rider. Time and money very well spent.

I thought Liz was a great instructor and really enjoyed her encouragment and enthusiam. I learnt so much from the day and have already been out this morning practicing and feeling so much more confident in riding, it\'s amazing the difference one day can make!

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.

I 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.
