Personal lessons

Submitted by risky on July 4, 2011 - 08:30

If someone can't make it to a Riders Clinic is it possible to book private lessons with someone in the Lower Mainland? I am sure I would benefit from some personalized coaching and bike set up from a professional and I would be willing to pay for it. I try to ride as much as possible and I always challenge myself, but often I am not sure if I am using the proper technique or any technique at all, and I am guessing with my suspension set-up.

Any suggestons would be helpful and appreciated.

Cheers,

Risky

Using trails for business

I sincerely hope you are providing your students with BCORMA Trail Passes as part of their fees to assist the trail stewards.  Are you actively contributing to the repair and maintenance of the trails you use? 

Its great to have active teaching of off-road skills, just don't commercially benefit from someone else's hard work without contributing back.  Same thing goes on in the mountain bike community with trails being thrashed by commercial interests, and they are not too pleased about it.  Someone built and maintains those trails, usually volunteer.
