Topic starter
 

Just got back from Woburn Sands after a fab session with Jedi, taking me through some core skills which will hopefully improve my overall riding.

I can thoroughly recommend his skills coaching. He has endless patience (it was put to the test!) plenty of positive feedback and an uncanny way of knowing what went wrong and why.
Up to me now to try to make my newly learnt skills second nature which is the difficult bit, as I have discovered, after coming back from an hour in the local woods where there were a few close encounters with mother earth!

No Tony we didn't...BIG mistake.
We ended up going to MK's centre 😯 and stopped off at PizzaExpress, which should have been good but wasn't!
Anyway, we had a massive curry last night whewn we got home to make up for it!! 8)

Can you stop the heart of a goat by staring at it?

First ride on trails familiar to you after a session with Jedi will blow your mind, I can vouch for that...

And as he says, it doesn't feel like you're going fast when you manage to link everything together properly, it's like you're in slow motion. But I can guarantee that you are going one hell of a lot quicker, cos I was not expecting to catch up with riders I'd let go down the trail 15 seconds in front of me quite so quickly at Cannock on Sunday!

Spend the day riding and practicing the skills Jedi taught me in some very challenging conditions and by heck do they work!!

Speshpaul...had no idea what you were on about, and then, bizarrely, MrFC brought that DVD home last night!! 😯

How on earth did Ewan McGregor manage to utter the line "What's a jedi warrior?" 8)

I got a £25 fine once, for startling a goat. I was in a hurry, as I had a package to deliver.

Just to add to what MrFC says. I've just got back from a days training with Jedi. It was a excellent day and I am now keen to go and put everything into practise. Need to get out of bad habits and cement what I have learnt. Would highly recommend it.

No goats though?

Thinking about a Jedi day in the Basque country. Do you accept wine and tortilla as payment?

cool stuff. I reckon a skillz course must be a better investment PPF (pounds per fun) than buying new bits/extra suspension etc. My bike is more capable than me! although, I'll be out riding with poeple far better than me soon, so I'll learn more one way or another just keeping up! Gotta look into this. Can you suggest anyone up in North Wales jedi?

"How on earth did Ewan McGregor manage to utter the line "What's a jedi warrior?" "

Do you think that when they were casting the film, someone said" i bet you can't get Ewan McGregor!"

But how do you cope? Alcohol and Classic Rock!
