It depends which programme you have chosen. The courses run for 12, 18 and 24 months

No, you can start when ever you want and work through the programme at your own pace.

Email in a link to your video and John will personally review and give you feedback to improve your skills

Yes, definitely, and the good news is, you won't have picked up too many bad habits to break. However it is important you follow the Module's in order and not skip to the more difficult techniques such as Jumping first! ​The Modules are broken down into easy to follow video tutorials which will guide you through the programme.

I have coached many riders that have been 'riding for years' , and found that most have a lack of good Core Skills. ​The Core Skills are the essence of Mountain Bike riding and should be practiced all the time. By going back and fine tuning these skills you will enhance your riding and take it to the next level.

Yes, however, you the parent or guardian would be responsible for enrolling on the course and would need to supervise your child for any practical sessions.

Yes, you can. Google Bunny Hop and you will get hundreds of video's of 'How To' some good some bad. What you won't get is a proven structure to follow or in-depth knowledge of breaking a skill down into parts or any feedback on your own personal video. It's one thing seeing a Pro rider perform a technique and make it look easy, but another to be able to coach and improve a rider.

No, absolutely not. Just get a mate to video you from the side or lean your phone up against a tree. As long as I can see a clear shot of what technique you want to improve. Top Tip, get a small bendy tripod for your phone.

Ha, Ha! You'll be amazed at what you can achieve. Once you have started the programme you will see instant progress in your riding. And remember, you're only as old as you feel!
