Client Testimonials
I wanted to thank you for raising the bar for my off-road skills this season. I can honestly say that you do a better job of explaining things than both of the skills clinics I have been at with Ned Overend or read in his book.
For instance, he describes or shows you what you should look like and where the weighting should be on the pedals coming into a turn BUT you describe what it should feel like and where to look, how to turn the bike and you find yourself making the turn at the right pitch, balanced and weighted properly- he describes the desired result, you describe the key factors to get that result.
Honestly, by using about 6 key things that you taught me to feel and be aware of my skills shot up so much and so did my confidence.
