We started the session with the skills checks where i
learned that i needed to work on Steve’s looking, footwork and body positioning
in his corners, and i also discovered that he unweighted the bike naturally, i
just needed to work on looking. I talked him through the process and he quickly
understood what was needed, and was soon performing these skills correctly, and
after a slight set up change, we moved on. I took him to the skills trail,
after giving him another quick cornering excersie where he could feel how
having a correct body position can give you grip. I then showed him the first
half of the trail, where he was linking bermed and flat corners, and rock
gardens. I then showed him the drop technique, where he applied his mental
skillset, and was soon feeling air beneath his wheels for the first time. I
then showed him another section on the trail, involving a fly out and a step,
and was soon linking them all together. After a quick lunch break, i showed him
the end of the trail and then we moved onto a pumping and jumping trail. Our session
ended here due to tiredness, after i taught him how to pump, and how this can
give you extra speed, and how he can use this to start getting his wheels in
the air.
Great session Steve!
Nath.
