MTB Skills

Back in 2005 CORC were running some great skills sessions in Majura. Willo, Dylan, Lewy, Hendo and a few others running them. These were awesome, we were split into groups and focused on specific areas and really honed some skills (what I needed just getting back into the MTB after many years off it). Since, there have been a few efforts from CORC and other companies (cycle ed etc)who have put in a good effort to help riders improve.

6 years later and I'm still working at mastering the skills. It seems like enduro racing is teaching me to be a little lazy half the time. But I'm not going to give up, it is time to include more MTB skills sessions in my program and really try to nail the skills that let me down. So tomorrow will be a 7 hour skills session, if you see me being lazy on the bike yell at me ;).

Last year in prep for worlds I did a skills session with Dylan Cooper before he went O/S. It was fantastic but with the load I found it hard to focus on building, skills, recovering, etc, etc. I think sometimes we focus on too much and it can get to much and complicated so keeping things simple usually works better (stupid) me thinks. So being a lazy enduro boy I have tried to change a little this past 6 months including more intensity.

Now the next phase, today I did another skills session with Dylan, it was great. I got allot to work at tomorrow, and I won't be able to let my mind go to sleep like I usually do. So time to have some fun out there and try to master the track.

Oh and by the way it looks like it does not include double disillusion, seems to be the same track as 24 nationals.
