So it's my birthday in a few weeks and my wife said, what do you want and I thought, how about some coaching! God knows I could use it.

So if you could give me some feed back and prices on ho you have used that would be good.

Cheers

I don't have any experience of Chris Birch's coaching, so can't compare, but I took Grace to a Broxy session a few months ago and was impressed enough to book Grace and Sophie into another this weekend. He's put a lot of effort into "learning how to teach" and it shows.... The "Old Grey One" soaked it up too..:msn-wink: Around $150 for the day....

Mike Cotter is a very good coach as well, he does wednesday sessions at Kimmy's Farm, as well as private session any where you like, contact him at 0272 111 485,

edit: any of the coaches above are good, and some coaching will offer some very good improvements to your riding,

Well I figure that any help is good help. I don't really want MX training as its not really what I'm into. I'd like to learn more about being quick around the trails.

I'll give Birch a call. Anyone else keen to join in?

Birchy will be good, he's good at shifting skill levels.

I reckon not a bad thing to mix it up though, for instance I thought Broxy explained braking better than Birchy, but Birchy was real great at off camber corners.
