Had an excellent skills lesson with Kristian @RKP, his explanations and feedback were exactly what I needed and wasn't getting from youtube. It was a significant breakthrough in results and confidence for me.

This lesson was awesome!! Great instructor and I learned a lot. They were patient and very detailed and specific with his direction. Gave me better confidence on the trail and with jumps. I will come back to do a more instructions.

Just did a great job of teasing out a few simple things for me to address, and I immediately felt better and continued working those subtle details for the rest of the ride :-)

Maggie was great! Went through some skills drills that really helped my cornering. Her instructions were clear and translated to on the trail right away.

Our trip was cut short because I became ill. I hope this does not happen again. I am being checked out by doctors to find the root cause. Keep your fingers crossed. When I get a clean bill of health, Deb and I look forward to taking our missed class and maybe adding another one so we can tackle both drops AND jumps. On the other hand, my loss was my wife's gain because all of the time you would have spent with me you could devote to her. Even though, she was sore for a week, I was impressed with her ability to roll the 2' drop in the skills area. She really made some improvements in her skills. She is a pretty good teacher too, so I will take advantage of your instruction through her once I can ride again.

Our class went a bit crazy when my husband passed out. Got violently ill and could not continue but Josh was very supportive and continued training me at my husband's request. Got a good workout and learned some great skills I can use moving forward.
