I’ve had a couple of sessions; a public and a 2-1. I was at a point where I was happy with how fast I could ride but wanted to improve confidence on bigger jumps and drops. Within about an hour Tony had shown me I could be even faster for less effort and we were on to the airborne stuff!
I’m a slow learner and slip quickly back in to bad habits so previous skills courses hadn’t made much difference, partly because bits of them didn’t seem to make sense and partly because there was so much to remember. This time around it was simple and made perfect sense. My 2-1 day was such a significant turning point in my riding; my technique improved massively during the day itself but since then it’s just got better and better. I’ve still a long way to go and I still slip back to bad habits when I’m tired but being given the tools to progress so rapidly has really lit a fire under my enthusiasm for riding again. I’m out at my local spot or back to herts shore as often as possible just chipping away
at that progress and enjoying every minute of it. I feel like I learn something new evey time I’m on my bike.
My 2-1 session was with my brother as I wanted him to have a go after my public session and I’ve boughht my old man a 1-1 for Xmas. I suggest it to all my riding buddy’s too but I still think there’s a negative perception of needing coaching in some bikers.
I cant recommend Tony enough. There really is a massive difference between his coaching and the coaches who teach from their handbook. Look on their websites before booking a session; if there’s pictures of riders leaning back or looking down then avoid. Or just save yourself the trouble and waste of money and go straight to Jedi. You won’t regret it. FACT.
