I’ve just come back from a skills day with Tony (Jedi) and can honestly say it’s the best day I’ve spent on a bike for a long time. Tony is a genius and progresses your riding well beyond what you think is achievable in a short period of time. Highly recommended.

Yawn
And I'll counter your Yawn with a Yawn at your Yawn...
Seriously, why all the negative vibes when anyone writes anything positive about someone/something on here?
You nay sayers REALLY need to get out (possibly on your bikes!) more, and stop being such miserable c*nts quite frankly...

am i right in thiunking the yawn was implying it gets said all the time? \\\

When you hang around forums long enough EVERYTHING gets said all the time
TBH though, with so many good words said about UKBS I would give it ago.
Too Shy though
And poor

Shyness not a problem, Tony is non judgemental and its not expensive. I want to award mboy a prize for his excellent post. How about a gold star?

A touch ironic?

Correct at least once a week, i have no doubt Jedi is awesome but we dont need to hear it every week.

Where did you do the session? I'm getting more and more tempted the more of these threads I read....
I've been selling the potential spend to the missus on the fact I will be less likely to end up in A&E.
Only thing that puts me off is the distance I will have to travel to do it.

So don't click on the f**king thread then if you don't wanna read it!
And certainly don't comment if you've got nothing constructive (whether it be praise or criticism) to say...

Sweet Baby Jesus.
The guy has just done course where he's learnt something, been pushed/pushed himself and is probably buzzin with it all. He probably HAS to tell somebody. Man, he might even be stoked!
Cant you just cut him some slack FFS!
And yeah, if it does get a bit boring, just skip it why don't you.

is that your "local" ? we (4 of us) are thinking of the "he comes to you" route and train locally maybe if we can organise ourselves to actually do it...(and i dont keep coming up with reasons not to)
Posted 1 year ago # -
nah not local to me, about 2 hours away. Was interested at having a look at Woburn and Herts Shore so was worth the travelling
Posted 1 year ago # -
Dancake I am local (ish) to you and would be very interested in the group thing. Cranham woods perhaps?

The 1-2-1 session I had with Jedi last Thursday was honestly the best money I have ever spent on biking, I went from 1ft drops to landing my first double in 4 hours...drove home with the biggest grin on my face.

DT78; woburn is 1hr40 from soton and an easy drive.

Jedi is awesome - I am still benefiting on every ride from the session I had with him. He's a sound guy and it makes me happy seeing these kind of threads pop up so regularly.
I can't believe anyone would be negative about
a) people having a good time
b) regular positive recommendations
c) a genuinely nice guy who is lucky enough to have a gift that can help others and thus he can make his living out of it rather than slave away in a job he hates. (I'm insanely jealous of Jedi being able to do that)Posted 1 year ago # -
We travelled from Devon to
the Dagobah SystemWoborn for our novice Jedi training, it was worth it as a trip to somewhere new but importantly as a place that Jedi knew well and could take us to relevant patches that he could use as training grounds. Our session was on 6th March and I have progressed massively since then. Jedi rules.Posted 1 year ago # -
Tony's a sound bloke and seems to have a lot of satisfied customers.
Long may it continue!

+1 for being insanely jealous!
I feel like such a different rider now after a coaching session with jedi - rode the Quantocks recently for the first time in a year and it was nuts how much of a different a riding experience it was - it just flowed (well felt like it did) and I felt so in control - it almost made it too easy. What it did do was allow me to concentrate on riding smoothly which felt rad - proper speeder bike!
Occasionally I still forget a few things I was taught and I have a bad habit of looking at the drops / jumps as I go off them rather than looking where I am going but I think that is more at the amazement of being off the ground that anything else.

Had a session recently at Woburn - Tony reckoned that I was over analysing my riding. Went out for the first time since then - head full of new stuff; promptly fell off! Nobody saw - so that was OK. Few rides since and its coming together. Foot work is better, linking berms better, jumps are better, moving across the trail better. Still plenty to work on but hey if I could do it all I probably wouldn't enjoy it. It feels good to improve a bit.

Im up for that, mate. Was thinking more toward the end of Summer because (here come the excuses)
* I have just started to use flats for the first time
* I am struggling withfitnessfatnessIf we decide to do it, might be worth hooking up for a ride one day to discuss what we want to get out of it/ where to go etc.
(Flow is my problem - I dont want to do crazy jumps or stuff, I just dont want to slam the brakes on every time I comne to something I dont like the look of)..(I also would like to do the steeper twisty stuff better)
Also I think you might be quite a lot more skilled than us; we wouldnt want to hold you back!
Posted 1 year ago # -
Dancake I'll send you a mail. It seems I want to get the same out of the course as you. Not sure I deserve the flattery re my skills though.
Don't worry about the fitness angle either. I am off down Salisbury way on Sunday for the forum ride but happy to meet up the weekend after.
