MTB skills

At aboc, we do coach MTB'ers, but don't do skills work, here's a nice bit of synergy

Jess and Norm Douglass run, by all reports, a great MTB skills development program, I won't prattle on about it here much because although I've heard good reports, and have spoken (email) to Jess, I haven't actually met them or been on one of their courses myself yet. I'd probably benefit a lot from doing one though, so will have to give it a go and maybe coin the phrase 'ungumby a gumby'.

Have a look at their site :

http://www.mtbskills.com.au/

I'm going to refer any MTB'ers who want to do skill development to them, I think they're offering something quite unique and valuable to the MTB racing and trail riding community.

Jess and Doug are great!

I have done one of their skills sessions (about two months ago) and it was terrific - they were really keen to ensure we got plenty out of it and I had a lot of fun and managed a few things I previously hadn't been able to do. It was great for the confidence - which is a major part of MTB skills all round, I believe.
They recently held a skills weekend which I really wanted to go to but couldn't because of the ribs and work. I hope they hold another one and perhaps we could get a bunch of ABOCers to go.
If you check out their website, their is a rider profile on there from someone you may know...

I made a grave error - It's Jess and Norm!

Its just that their last name is Douglas (and I am very silly). Sorry Norm!

(I hope I am forgiven)

Anyway, their courses are good and I learnt heaps.
