STW Forum Mountain Bike Skills Day at Gisburn Forest
14 Nov
Coolhandluke shredding the berms at Gisburn
A great group of guys from the Singletrackworld forum came up to Gisburn Forest today for a special ‘Stop Crashing’ skills day. No one argued about what tyres were best for the current trail conditions or what is the current top dog of the washing machine world. Instead we had a day of skills progression, good craic and a nice pint afterwards in the Dog and Partridge. We looked at body position, riding berms, cornering and riding rocks as well as the essential skills of trackstands, manuals, rear wheel lift and a little insight into bunny hops. Cheers fellas.
All the bikes were either designed in Calderdale or California
Stumpyjohn has built some of the trails at Gisburn. Here he is owning one.

Yep, great day, Ed! Has inspired me to get out more often and make the effort to improve. Thanks a lot, Tony.

Excellent day despite the rain. I just need to remember everything now….and my fear of steep rocky things is all in the past.
Any chance of doing an refresher next year, to build onto more advanced stuff Ed?
I wouldn’t mind a “wheels leaving the ground” course myself.

Thanks for all the feedback.
Let me know when you want the refresher / next level and I’ll sort you out a day.
