It took me a while to do on my own what I was doing with Tony. Some of what he says might not make sense for a few months afterwards either, but then it clicks.</p> <p>He is great at aftercare and emailing you to make sure you are getting out and doing things.</p> <p>Hopefully going back when I fixed following injury (from car, not bike...) </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/who-here-has-been-jedi-improved/page/3#post-3314977 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 11:24:22 +0000 slowrider 3314977@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I've had a couple of sessions; a public and a 2-1. I was at a point where I was happy with how fast I could ride but wanted to improve confidence on bigger jumps and drops. Within about an hour Tony had shown me I could be even faster for less effort and we were on to the airborne stuff!</p> <p>I'm a slow learner and slip quickly back in to bad habits so previous skills courses hadn't made much difference, partly because bits of them didn't seem to make sense and partly because there was so much to remember. This time around it was simple and made perfect sense. My 2-1 day was such a significant turning point in my riding; my technique improved massively during the day itself but since then it's just got better and better. I've still a long way to go and I still slip back to bad habits when I'm tired but being given the tools to progress so rapidly has really lit a fire under my enthusiasm for riding again. I'm out at my local spot or back to herts shore as often as possible just chipping away<br /> at that progress and enjoying every minute of it. I feel like I learn something new evey time I'm on my bike. </p> <p>My 2-1 session was with my brother as I wanted him to have a go after my public session and I've boughht my old man a 1-1 for Xmas. I suggest it to all my riding buddy's too but I still think there's a negative perception of needing coaching in some bikers. </p> <p>I cant recommend Tony enough. There really is a massive difference between his coaching and the coaches who teach from their handbook. Look on their websites before booking a session; if there's pictures of riders leaning back or looking down then avoid. Or just save yourself the trouble and waste of money and go straight to Jedi. You won't regret it. FACT. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/who-here-has-been-jedi-improved/page/3#post-3314705 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 09:25:29 +0000 jedi 3314705@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>andy b, yeah you brought a brand new cube iirc <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> you still riding it? </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/who-here-has-been-jedi-improved/page/3#post-3313253 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 17:33:35 +0000 4ndy B 3313253@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I've been Jedi'd</p> <p>I just used what I would do on a normal ride </p> <p>OK it was a brand new bike but all the usual kit was used (SPD's, camelbak, clothing, all was my normal riding stuff)</p> <p>No point in doing something differently for that one day then reverting back to your usual stuff</p> <p>I just went and rode my bike with a top fella who gave me a few pointers on how to ride smoother and faster </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/who-here-has-been-jedi-improved/page/3#post-3313164 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 17:09:52 +0000 jedi 3313164@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>+1 metalheart <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/who-here-has-been-jedi-improved/page/3#post-3312699 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 13:42:05 +0000 metalheart 3312699@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Hugor, As I'm sure tony will tell you, use whatever YOU feel MOST comfortable with.
