Had a 1 to 1 with Jedi yesterday and am still totally blown away by the experience.
After a quick 5 min skills check, he made one minor change to my setup and I still cant believe how radically that changed the way I rode.
After years of throwing money at bikes, forks and tyres in an attempt to compensate for poor technique, that was all it took.
Money well spent.
ok, so Rome wasnt built in a day and there are still things I need to work on, but after 20 years of mountain biking I feel like a 5 year old kid who has just learnt to ride.
In fact I’ve just spent 1.5 hrs at the local park riding the kids skills course!! and have jusr ridden my first teeter totter! 😛
I was having such a great time that my 5 year old had to remind me it was time to go home for tea!!
I must admit that I got the table top completely wrong the first few times (old habits die hard), but once I relaxed and remembered what Jedi had taught me all went well.
I have no illusions about being a pro, superfast or a dirt jumper(I’m a bit too long in the tooth for that) but I definitely feel more in control and I can’t stopping grinning everytime I get the wheels off the ground so effortlessly.
As the title says, I can’t recommend him highly enough, he really cuts through the crap that surrounds this sport, is an awe inspiring coach and a really decent bloke.
