    Ironically that was one of my first thoughts.
    Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

    I'd like to WATCH stunt riding being taught!!!


    This looks like a really nifty idea!! I would like to know what other trainings can be held there and put my hand up for some.

    Bloody hell - that's a big effort, well done.

    Why go concrete? I would have thought a sealed surface would have been cheaper.

    Are you looking at alternatives down the line......storage sheds or summat.....?

    There is at least one trainer looking at a wheelie school with specific bikes for it. May be a good time to head back for some learning.
