We all watch the pros and then try what they do.. Hey I can even drift over rocks like Gwin can..... Hahahaha but then wake up..

All apart of the learning process from way back when the stabilisers where first removed to now... Put too much into it and love the sport too much to jack it in, so just re-coop and assess where what and how you do things and move on... :-)

I think i will give that other coaching ago, i just seem to have a mental block when it comes to jumping, i know i cam do it, but i just seem to stiffen up, which obviously doesnt help.

Will see what happens, and hopefully i can get through it.

Just back from hospital, feel fucked, but the long run of rehab begins.

Will definitely look into a skills course.

I've recently thought about it, after a big stack at danbury, was training to go to fort william so was pushing hard. dislocated my right knee had complications, so am now sofa bound by the doc for 9 months, no work no nothing. but soon as i'm able i will be getting back on my bike. ok so i will have to wear a knee brace for the rest of my life (during sporting activities), but its my escape and i love it. as the saying goes "to be old and wise, you must first be young and stupid" .

Sounds like you have got it alot worse than me, heal up fast dude.

I dislocated my clavicle last week and have been going through the same thing. Alot of none biking people asking why take the unnecessary risk and aren't you getting to old for that. But then i think about why i was out at the trails and its normally just to get away from everything else to keep my sanity. Depending on recovery time i my give the dirt jumps a rest for a while. even though they improved my bike control rapidly.
I feel you pain, and im sure you will be back out on the trails as soon as you can. I defiantly will be.

Dan try hitting a bmx track instead, similar skills but safer environment.
sorry to hear you're injured fella

Seems like im going to be off the bike for a while. Worst thing was it was one of the little ones that got me (isn't it always).
