Anyone had any coaching from Tom Dowie at Chicksands?
I'm thinking of booking up for a couple of hours jumps & drops with him, so wondered if anyone had any experience.
I know UK Bike Skills (Jedi on here I think) comes highly recommended, but the Chicksands operation is more convenient location and lower cost as don't need to book up for a full day session
Cheers.
Someone posted about it yesterday, have a quick search.
Cheers Bagstard, just found it.
Pretty glowing review actually, so very useful too!
I was looking at doing the same recently, but my googling didn't come up with any upcoming courses, clearly I wasn't very thorough.
No, me nether so I just emailed him directly. Not confirmed it yet but will probably go for it if we can sort a date over the summer.
It is a pefect venue for jumps and drops and Tom has a good reputation. I'm doing a skills course and guided ride at Forest of Dean this weekend.
I know 2 people who have had coaching with Tom, both were very happy.
I had exactly this from Tom.
He was very good, listened to what skills i wanted to improve on and focussed exactly on that. Had two hours to improve my jumping doubles/dirt jumps. I can ride most trail stuff pretty well, but didn't feel at home on jumps larger than about 3m.
He told me what i needed to change to get better. Recommended.
Did a coached course a couple of years ago with Tom Dowie.
He is the coolest guy I've met for a long time and yes, my riding was way better afterwards.
