ive been working for a year and am onth now 🙂 after my first 3 months i bought my current bike carrera banshee x, and since then all the gear – full face, various pads, bags, clothing and shoes, as well as 3k of other stuff, i will/have been working solid for 4 months to get the green one a swell as juggling school work!
luckily my bio mechanics teacher has said he will help improve my stances and techniques and my sports injuries teacher is helping me with my after care from a 'torn Achilles, severed nerves, broken ligaments and tendons and ripped pro prio receptors in the ankle from a little crash 6 months ago.
and that injuries teacher is also helping me set up my license as she was a coach for british cycling (despite the roadie bit)
