I started riding MTB back in 2000, after being introduced to it by Jimbo of Sussex-MTB. As such I’m a slightly ‘older-skool’ rider and recognise that there are some areas of my riding with room for improvement. You know when you hit something just right, hook it up, and it feels ‘right’? I’d like that …

Bobster came to me looking to brush his skills up and to make himself smoother and faster in the singletrack. I knew it would be an interesting session because a) I’ve known him for a long time and b) like myself he’s been riding for a long time and had some ingrained bad habits. We …

After my first year of mountain biking and still falling off far too much it was time to get some help! I contacted Jimbo from South Downs MTB Skills to see what was going wrong. We set off, and within a few moments Jim had spotted that my footwork and body positioning needed improvement. After a run …

Matt got in touch looking to brush up on his singletrack skills, technical climbing and hopping over stuff. After a skills check through the first few sections of singletrack I identified that his footwork and looking needed some attention, but first we took it back to basics and checked out his position on the bike. …
