All thanks to the teacher on yesterdays skills course.

Congratulations, time to change your name.
'Tis always nice when there's a happy ending ... and there's also the warm glow the instructor gets seeing someone accomplish something, it's a win win.
Well done.
Can you teach me ❓
DeeJay - You're a really good rider, I know you can ride anything 😉
I just need to practise now, so I can launch over trail obstacles instead of being a wuss.
practise what you were taught and don't be tempted to expand on it until it is totally an unconcious action.
Hehe its brill when you first manage to do it.
I was'nt even thinking when i did it for the first time.
Thought it was superb when i first did it, then someone pointed out "you bunnyhop like an xc rider and thats the less rad way to do it"
swines.
Change your name to face_plant, or sore_coccyx
djglover - I have indeed got a sore coccyx and a huge bruise on my posterior, from having a stupid dismount, getting foot caught on flat pedal while totally stopped and landing heavily on the ground, very undignified.
Bunnyhop - you are too kind - come on the Nidderdale ride and show me how its done - after a month of practice you should be brill
DeeJay - I'll try. We'll need a big stick, not to thump you with of course but to try and pop over. I've started small so need to work up to a small log. It'll be like the blind leading the blind.
Definitely thinking of coming on this ride, as I enjoyed the Calderdale one so much ( apart from the pushing).
ton knows a good pushing technique 😉
i love bunny hopping my kids little bikes they stare in wonder. Make sure you get the front wheel up high when you are going large! DeeJay ride slower and I will teach you.
OP - Well done you - would be good to see you again if you can make it
