MTB - Clinic

Hi members, I am new to the sport and thought i would share my experience with other members new and old wanting to get a bit more out of their weekend warrior approach.

Sure we can all jump on a bike and get from A to B but learning how to do it properly and at speed is what i was after.

As I said on other forums it is difficult for a newbie to follow mates who have been riding for a few years and learn from them without seeming a fool.

I pumped around the internet and found a clinic held my AMBC.

I thought I was a bit passed beginner so I took up the Trailbreakers course.

The course was held up the coast at Ourimbah, and we spent all day learning cornering, breaking and body position. The last half of the day was the best as we took the skills to the trail.
The weather got the better of us but the day was great value for money.

I love the fact that these type of things run, as alot of us assume everyone knows how to ride, but alas some of us prefer to know the fundamentals and learning off a pro so we can accelerate and attack courses like a pro and make it seem effortless.

A big thanks to Matt and Owen for taking the time to setup this business and I am sure I will be attending over events and report back a podium finish for me in this years Mont. (You can Laugh now).

I strongly recommend this course to other n00bs and Weekend Warriors and can say I got my value for money.
