Intermediate Course 23/09/2012

Today I had Dan on an intermediate course at Hamsterly Forest. Dan had actually ridden quite a bit and to be honest was a bit hard on himself as he was actually a good rider, all he needed was a bit of confidence that he was doing the right things at the right time and he was away. We worked on some basic techniques as well as some slightly more advanced ones to make sure he had the foundations to go away and practice. At the end of the day he was attacking drops and corners at speeds he was certain at the beginning of the day he thought was impossible, well done Dan!


Really good technique and body position here, relaxed body, slightly over the back of the seat and looking ahead ready for what's coming up, nice one Dan!


Dan had said before hand that he had always had a problem with keeping the front wheel on the floor when climbing, today we worked on some small corrections to his body position and hey presto, it was sorted!
