Hog_ Posted June 19, 2009 Share So when we do Trials riding, we get a lot of "I want to learn that" type of comments. Also, when there's guys at the course or on the rides that have less experience (not that I'm great or anything) they normally pick our brains a lot to get their technique right etc. I was speaking to Peach about putting together a skills clinic that aims at teaching Trials basics and how to incorporate it into 'normal' MTBing. There's nothing formal put down yet, since I don't know how much interest it'll get, but right now I'm thinking we could cover things like: Stationary balance - Trackstand, Pivots, Hopping Rolling balance Moving over obstacles by using your weight and drivetrain The bunnyhop Just that will already be more then enough for a 2-hour session, so we may look at doing a follow-up class or 2 as well. Would anyone be interested? What would you be interested in learning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hog_ Posted June 19, 2009 Share I think that there will be huge interest.Something everyone needs to brush up on is general trail rules and race etiquette. Race? What's that? Will see about putting something together. It will be in JoBurg only, unless someone is willing to pay for flights to Cape Town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
