telecat Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Graham may well have changed it since NYL did one but if there are a few of you you can expect a simple section where you will be assessed so that Graham knows your riding ability. After that He puts together a section with a easy and a hard route and lets you ride it. Graham will tell you which to ride and will then give you pointers to what you are doing wrong and advice on how to improve. He'll change to a different type of section and do this a couple of times so you improve your riding across a range of section styles. I'd say that Graham is quiet and thoughtful teacher. Listen to what he says and ask questions and you'll get a lot out of him!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlestar Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Went on one of his days a few months ago. It was really good. He sets out a simple section and then changes it to suit your ability. I found it really boosted my confidence and gave me some new techniques. It was a really good day and we all enjoyed it, well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christoff Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I went on one of these between Christmas and New Year. Superb!!! Graham is great at matching the severity of the sections to your ability. Challenging but possible without being dangerous. Recommended.

penno350 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Not sure if the format will be similar but my son (14) did one of Graham's schools at Back Cowm last year, unexpected bonus was that he was helped out by Shaun Morris and Mika Vesterinen with the group split into 3 and switched between the different instructors during the day also taking into account your ability. It was a great day topped off by the 3 of them showing how it should be done. I'm sure you will have a great day. Penno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tt5th Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I was on the Richmond one this weekend gone and was one of 3 who were around the 30 yr old mark. I didn't feel out of place, just jealous of how good some of the kids on the course are going to be when they get older! Well worth the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
