[#4394684]

All the hours I spent wondering whether to go to Herts to see Jedi was a complete waste of time - to save you all that time, just book it and go ๐Ÿ˜‰

I don't want to be too sycophantic because it has been done to death already on here, but I honestly don't have anything bad to say about our session. We had a brilliant day on Saturday; I don't remember him 'teaching' us much stuff, but he did spend a lot of time encouraging me to unlearn a load of unnecessary stuff that I was doing.

I haven't got used to all the stuff I was doing differently yet, so time will tell, but the small differences in body position and weight distribution made massive differences on his little trails and jumps.

Her indoors hasn't stopped going on about it either - he had her clearing a 6 foot double, which I never expected!

Need some good weather now to get up the trails and dirt jumps for a play.

Cheers Tony!

She's been riding tabletops, but never really properly clearing them, normally just landing on the top, or sometimes getting her front wheel over and casing the rear.

With Tony's guidance she cleared the table 2nd try, did it a few times then gave the double a go - the first try didn't go so well, but she recovered it and went straight back for another go!

Yeah, but I think she'll be off out in the pissing rain tonight. I'm going to sensibly stay in and keep warm and dry ๐Ÿ™‚
