I turned 45 this year and Jedi got me jumping again last year. This year I got a top up from Nath (apprentice Jedi) who got me clearing gaps!
I've never enjoyed my riding more.
Hora - coaching, PROPER, coaching makes you safer. I rode Innerleithen and Glentress at the weekend and, thanks to my coaching, wasn't as worried by unexpected trail obstacles. Instead of ramming the brakes on and falling off at low speed I just plopped over stuff. Better still, when it wasn't as unexpected I flew over stuff. Was an amazing feeling.
You should try it.

When you know how and why you went wrong you can be a lot more relaxed which then opens up a whole new level of fun.
I'd been pushing myself quite hard this last year after taking up MTB much more seriously than i had previously been. And so far, i'd been getting away with the really quite few crashes i'd been having, but, and i think it's a law of averages thing, i OTB'd and broke my wrist 2 weeks ago. However, i know exactly what i did wrong that caused the crash. Now, i don't yet know how to do it correctly, but i'm hoping the Jedi can fix me in a couple of months time!
If anything, it's pushing me to try to be even better as i work back to fitness 😉

Recently someone had taken away the rollin stones that sanitised a stone slab stepdown on Rushups edge. I just plopped down it. 😉
My nemesis is fitness. The fitter I can get the more relaxed I get. 🙂
we have a team moto 'if you ain't flying you ain't trying' were not young and the year before last we lost our team captain fondly known as Faither. He passed on the red route at Kiroughtree sad loss at age 60 but turning pedals and smiling all the while. keep those cranks turning and enjoy thr trails with Junior.
