HI,

Looking at booking a skills day and was wondering if anybody had any recommendations or experiences of ones near south wales? or within a reasonable traveling distance?

Thanks

Suart is the boy in Mid Wales

It might take you a few hours but go to Herts and see Jedi @ UK bike skills. I can’t say enough about how he has improved my riding, and I’ll definitely be going back.

If I could afford to I’d be there getting coaching every other month!

thanks for the kind words guys 🙂

Slight hijack, but the wife and a friend are pondering a similar question. My suggestion was jedi. Although I’ve not trained with him, it does seem to be the default answer on stw to such a question, plus she could check it out before I book anything.

Anyway, back to the wife. She’s looking for: –
Either 2-to-1 training or a girly only day.
Within reach of the east midland//nottingham
They both ride the peaks but will walk bits of the beast/cavedale/chapel gate.
Love bits like the fairholmes decent from the top of hagg farm.
Ride Welsh trail centre blacks but are probably more at home on reds.
Both talk about finding a beginners course but I think they’re both above that level.
Prefer natural stuff to trail centres.

The wife did comment that jedi’s training ground looks a bit artificial. I’m guessing that’s either something he could be flexible with or it’s just the clips she’s looked at.

Both have no interest in leaving the ground but I think they’d both be high for weeks if a little air was achieved.

Your thoughts and comments please folks.

I should have started a new thread shouldn’t I.

You cannot learn sumthing u hav’nt got in the first place, unless u have the force then u will be able to excell, but use it wisely, and one day u just might be a shredder like me! 8)

Depends on what you want to learn/improve your skills on?

Thanks for the suggestions, ill have a look at the links, i did think of uk bike skills due to all the great reviews but it’s about 3 hours away, i wont rule it out just for that though.

I can ride reasonably well i think, speed wise etc, but i think its mainly reacting to stuff and not picking lines etc, one area there is no doubt i need improvement is jumps and table tops so probably after a course with some jumping instruction.
