Firecrest CTC Training Day at Aston Hill

On Saturday the 24th of January I went to Aston Hill to be taught by Ian Warby.

He showed me how to brush up on my techniques and skills in ways that I would never have thought of. He uses methods that the red bull guys teach the Athertons and even inovative taining techniques that top F1 drivers use.

From one end on the training session, he took me through the most simple, broken down techniques of riding and lead me on to the importance of them; to the other end where he ran me through how to deal with pressure and how to deal with the mental side of racing; and not to mention everthing inbetween!

I would recomend to any rider; beginner or advanced and for any type of riding.

My TV screen is getting larger and clearer more often now but you will have to see Ian to understand what that means :P

Thanks Ian!

PORC Mud Bath Comp

So I went to PORC to do my first race back since I broke my arms...

The track was a true mud bath due to the rain we had the night before. My impression of the track was that it was a good track but it was held at the wrong time of the year. It was relativly flat and technical for most of the course. However... everyone is riding the same course.

It was good to see some Elite World Cup riders turn up to race too!

Here are some pictures of the race;

Here are the overall results,
