Ive just booked myself onto the Stop Crashing Level 1 course, has anyone on here been, what should I expect?
Not to crash anymore 😉

A massive beard?
It seems a very specific course. Personally I never have crashed with Ed Oxley, so presumably I have no need for it.

Quality, patient, insightful, teaching. And a beard.
I did a week long skills and biking course with Ed here in the Basque country.
Have to say the man is a gent and a natural teacher. I ended up with a few new tricks and a lot of stuff to work on. He spots your weak points straight away and is kind enough not to rag you about them.
I'm a lot faster and more confident now down my local "goto" route than before and I owe it all to the beard.
If you read this Ed, I,ve cut down those airplane bars and got me arsenal back over the saddle;-
Hope to make it up to Hebden one of these days, quite fancy the jumpsfordads course.

Surely that's the point of teaching. If I'd gone on a coaching course and the person doing it was taking the piss out of me, I'd probably be looking for a refund.
That said, never heard anything but praise for Ed so that's not supposed to be considered knocking him 🙂

Some laughs and at least one (or more) pints of beer.
And a Beard.
After nearly a quarter-century of mountain biking, I'd recommend Ed's teaching in a heartbeat. Top bloke, excellent teacher.
I had a crash during the 1st 30 minutes of 'Stop Crashing'. I didn't crash again during the day so I guess that means it worked.
Spending a day with Ed improved my body position, made me ride smoother and I'm much more active on the bike now. I still crash though.
