It should be pointed out that these videos come from the clinic series that I run out at City Park.
A lot of these poeple are relatively new riders.

We all had to learn somewhere. And I sure did benefit from latching on to the wheel of some
better riders.

Anthony, you are preaching to a rider who was practicing "target acquisition" on the trees
yesterday. For some reason, I kept looking at them instead of the trail, fortunately I was riding
slow at the (numerous) times...

you might want to give those guys armor, that last one looked rather painful.

Hehe. We have a problem with trees jumping into trails around here. Even if you ignore them,
they'll gitcha!

I imagine a lot of my first rides looked like that too! I came home bloody almost every ride! Of

Yesterday I clipped a tree about 1.5 inches in diameter. Luckily it was a dead one and it just broke
at the base. Whew! It could've richocheted back at me...
