...being entirely selfish I cant do Sundays for quite a while, is there any way you could put one of these on on a Saturday?

Always up for a bit of expert instruction, and I'd do the the Advanced XC one too if 'twere on a Saturday.

Hopefully,
Matt.

Hey Matt

Yes, we swap days around so that both Saturdays and Sundays are scheduled so that everyone can find a convenient day. Click here for all upcoming dates for this course. The Advanced XC also swaps days as well, so just check out our site www.ambc.com.au or keep an eye on the Nobmob rides calendar.

Thanks for the message!

Cheers, Kim

Interesting.

But I was wondering, where would you ride downhill at Oxford Falls? Or is this a secret?

Have you forgotten Lizard Rock and the first right turn from the XC firetrail? Might be difficult to session some of that with a group but you're certainly not lacking in choice...

You could even use a fair bit of Road to Somewhere. AFAIK there's no potential illegalities there?

Its my little girls birthday this weekend, but i am keen as mustard to get some technical down hill skills. I have recently purchased a Specialized Enduro and a full faced, plus a couple of months ago did the downhill at Orimbah and loved it. Please let me know when we can do something and I am happy to pay a price similar to this. I am going to Thredbo end of april and would like to have some skills training before going.

Feel free to call me or PM me.
