Went on a skills course at Gisburn Forest on thursday with my old man and a mate and wanted to say how much we all enjoyed it and learnt lots of new riding techniques.
Firstly i must mention what a top bloke Ed Oxley of Great Rock is. He's also a very good instructor who had us riding things that we would never think of.........cheers Ed.
The course was very well structured, interesting and laid back. Ed has a knack of explaining things well and makes what he's teaching easy to understand.
I would definately recommend taking a skills course to improve your riding. i was sceptical at first but after about half an hour with Ed it became apparent that it was a good investment.
Must also thank Tim at Whelpstone Cafe Bike Shop for letting me ride his demo Ragley mmmbop, a fantastic bike. I've always been a full suss guy but after a day with Ed and riding this bike i know plan to buy a hardtail because with good technique and body postioning you don't need a full suss at trail centres.
thanks again Ed
