    Perhaps... though I don't want to do groups in excess of 4 or 5 riders, I can't give proper attention if I do that. The STR forums are the major source of constituency for me, a discount for one would have to justify a discount for all ;)

    Wow, I'm interested! What would this entail...

    Knowing what not to do is a large step towards the enlightened state of knowing what to do! Or in simpler terms- If you know your doing it wrong and you know you need to know what is wrong in order to know what is right, then knowing what is right should be right around the corner for you ;)

    HAha, but for real, I would like to hit one of your clinics. Im a decent rider with a lot to learn. Im always open to constructive criticism. I like to go fast, and want to get faster. # 1 lesson would be: let go of them brakes.:lol: Incase it was not conveyed, my post was with pure sarcasm.

    yeah, I agree knowing what you're doing wrong is half the battle. it's just fixing it that's getting me. :lol:

    I need to let go of the brakes too. good things happen when you do that

    You work for a Bike shop right, advertise through the shop, set up a trade where you will bring in X amount of people to his class in trade for lessons.

    Julius' clinic was great. Pony up the cash and do it. A similar lesson in any other sport would cost you twice as much, with half the attention. And I dare say, learning to hit a tennis ball harder or a golf ball straighter isn't nearly as much fun, nor will it save you a trip to the ER.

    Season's greetings everyone! I'll be trying to do a clinic(s) this weekend on the 27th and 28th. Please e mail me at [email protected] if you are interested in either day or have any questions.

    P.S. If any of you plan on competing in the Fontana Winter Series, this is a good time to gain some relatively inexpensive seconds ;)

    It just might, I can tell you how to do it and how they do it- but that's only part of the package, the critical part is that you have to do it. All the instruction in the world can't replace strength of will and commitment ;)

    Happy holidays and I hope to see you out on the clinic!

    My best gift thus far this holiday! Thanks!

    That is a "bump" of epic proportions... thanks!

    Julius, i'll contact you in January about attending your clinic (finally)... once the ground is dry enough, that is.

    I'm interested as well. Let us know when and where your next scheduled DH clinic. Maybe we can do it at Suicide trail near Chesboro in Agoura or maybe G-Spot / Hummingbird / Stagecoach in the Simi Hills.

    I've been riding for years and haven't seen any improvement with my riding. I need more tips on how to ride / negotiate certain trail features as well as getting more tips on how to ride smoother / quicker.
