As well as running all the open group courses, I offer the same courses or a mixture of courses as private 1 to 1 days at Gisburn Forest or on the natural tech trails of Hebden Bridge.

 

Today I had a session at Gisburn Forest with Andrew who wanted me to take a general look over his riding. He also wanted to specifically look at riding drop offs, learn to bunny hop and look at improving the way he is riding steep rocky roll ins.

In terms of which course this would be, we looked at elements of ‘Stop Crashing’ on the blue trails around the new car park, to get a better body position and start pumping the trail. Then we went onto sharpening up the way Andrew was taking the corners on the new Snakey trail that is now the start to the full Gisburn Loop. Next we looked at stuff that would be covered in ‘Flow’ and got the basics of the bunny hop and worked up to hitting the drops on the Hope Line and looking at different way of riding the steep rock faced features on Swoopy. It’s safe to say that Andrew was pretty chuffed with what he was riding and the way he was riding it by the end of the day.

If you want to do something similar to this as a private 1 to 1 or group day, get in touch and we can look at dates and cost.

Here are some of the guys from last week’s Jumps for Dads course demonstrating their new Prosolution drop off skills on the Hope Line at Gisburn Forest.
