The first @bcsuspension @basecampbikes SUSPENSION SCHOOL was awesome. We are all delighted 👌👏👊🚵‍♂️🚵‍♀️
Clients spent the day learning all aspects of suspension and setup. From tyre pressure, springs, sag, rebound, damping all the way through to body positioning and riding style. Bikes were tuned specifically for each individual and their riding. With written bench mark settings provided to each rider.The feedback was great 😊. Bikes felt sooo good! "like a new bike" "More balanced, stable and with more traction" .It could be the best upgrade you could get in 2020!
Feb dates are fully booked but there are 3 slots left for January. Link in bio for booking.#suspensionschool #basecampbikes #bcsuspension #coffee #cake #learning #sharing #discussing #qualitytimewellspent #questions #rideout #rideoutcoaching #alearningadventure #winter

The best thing about winter in North Scotland is the light. On a sunny day you basically go from a spectacular sunrise straight into a spectacular sunset. 🌅 This picture was taken just after midday!

Suspension setup is complicated 😬🙈🚵‍♀️. There are so many variables to consider - like your weight, where you ride, what you ride, and how you ride. Everyone is unique and different.
We are so lucky to have industry experts on our door step @bcsuspension @basecampbikes - these guys eat sleep and breath suspension 🤓😘. We are stoked to share knowlodge, experience and passion to get you set up right. It makes a massive difference to the feel of your ride and subsequently your mindset and confidence.No better way to spend a driech winters day. Cake and coffee by the fire optional..☕🍰🔥

It's coming to the end of the year.... The final group class is this Friday (December is just a bit mental. However, surely that is all the more reason to ride 🤔😂). I thought I would reflect a little.... I love how RideOut is evolving. Alongside regular group classes, the main bulk of clients have been in the form of private 1:1 coaching. This is fantastic as you can really develop a rider specifically to their individual ability and mindset. Often starting with the absolute basics we highlight strengths and weaknesses with the aid of video and pictures. You can really get a handle of what is going on. Clients think they may be low with their heels down for example, but quite often in reality it's not often the case and they can see it. It's so much fun working together and both seeing the progression, building confidence and understanding along the way.
I love it and I have loved meeting and getting to know so many lovely people, seeing joy on their faces 😊. Now that's a lot of love! ❤️ #lovemtb
#lovecoaching #lovelearning #lovesharing #lovetheprocessNext year 2020, there will be an additional Wed am group class for beginners, the Fri am class will continue as well as all the 1:1 sessions. Winter is the perfect time to get started so don't hesitate to get in touch.@basecampbikes @bcsuspension @burgtec @enduragrounddivision @enduraofficial #AllTribesOneClan
Thanks for the Tuesday tip @alisonjread 👌

Throw back to summer in the Cairngorms, coaching and riding with these awesome lasses. This was a custom session to tailor for riders travelling up from the central belt. They planned a full weekend of adventure and I was delighted to be part of it. Rideout coaching, swimming and running! So cool! #inspiredPlan an adventure.. It will make you smile from the inside out 🌄🏞️🚵‍♀️❤️

After working on fundamental techniques at Sanquhar Skills park over the last few weeks (body positioning, weighting/unweighting, drops, rocks and corners), yesterday we headed off to ride techy leafy single-track 😁🚵‍♀️🚵‍♂️. Focusing on applying the techniques to the natural terrain, this was kind of exciting to see how the skills transferred.. . I was blown away! Riders were driving their bikes into dips, unweighting over roots, popping off wee ledges and having so much fun..
Eureka!!! The learning process sometimes feels like magic. #lovetheprocess
Well done to all ✌️👌👍 #mtbskills #rideout #rideoutcoaching #AllTribesOneClan @enduragrounddivision @enduraofficial @basecampbikes @bcsuspension

What a giggle trying to synchronise the whoops. Multiple attempts and multiple spills. So fun! 🚵‍♀️🙌☑️
During the session we were practising squishing and popping. Building confidence with making conscious decisions on how to ride a section of trail.
Shifting the focus from individual skill progression to group syncrosnisd biking was ace, and something I'm going to do again. 🚵‍♀️👯‍♀️ #bellylaughs #groupcoaching #skillsanddrills #funny #team #ridebikeshavefun #rideandshine #rideandshare #mainpurpose #havefun #anyonecan #bikingforall @dmbins @enduragrounddivision #AllTribesOneClan

So are you a level pedal cornerer or do you like the old drop foot technique? My preference is for level pedals (if the corner allows). Being able to apply pressure to both pedals equally, gives stability, balance and control allowing me to stay centered on the bike and drive into the turn. Dropping the foot and being able to move around the bike is really useful though, and definitely worth getting comfortable with. Ideal for flat corners and super tight switchbacks. You don't get a better feeling than driving round a corner and getting it super smooth 😁❤️😀

If I had said to Kirsty a year ago she would be sending it off drops, she would have scoffed at me! And now she is rolling in like it's a fire road cruise 🔥👊 She still scoffs at me though. 😘

Back to basics, Part 2 😀. So we have our riding position (hip hinge) dialled yeah? High hinge, low hinge, upright and everything inbetween? Awesome well done👏👍. But what do we do with our body when we brake?
Braking is one of the few times you should intentionally put your weight back behind the bottom bracket. Why? Because when you slow down momentum carries your weight forward. We must counteract this force with shifting our hips back and driving weight into the pedals - easy! Heels down!Allowing the hands to stay light means no tension in the arms/ shoulders / neck). Ahhhhh 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️
Experiment with your weight shift. See what feels good and allows best control.
When done correctly you will feel like a kung fu panda and able to brake like you mean it with confidence and power. 👌👌👌👌yas!

Two weeks school tattie holidays are in the bag! I hope everyone has managed to get out on the odd ride amongst the glorious autumn colours 😎🚵🏻‍♀️🚵‍♂️🍂🍁🍃. It been great to work with a variety of riders over the two weeks from Moray, Aberdeen and Highland and of course getting out with my own kids and their friends ❤.
Bikes are so fun and so addictive! Well done to you all.

Back to basics, Part 1.
Your go to neutral base position - ready position /attack position should be a well rehearsed automatic go to movement. It is a hip hinge - bending from the waist engaging the core and keeping the back flat. From here you can push, pull, lean, weight, unweight.
The main points:
✔Weight leaning into your pedals ✔heels down
✔hips hinged ✔hands lightWhen done correctly this position is balanced, stable, powerful and ready to attack. Its so important!!! It requires a strong core and flexible hamstrings. Once you master the hip hinge, keeping the hands light, everything basically falls into place.Its easier said than done when on the trail though! You think you are hinged when you aren't. Many also get low and then lean on their handlebars, this makes your bike feel like a bucking bronko 😆. #learnhow #learnwhy #personalfeedback #nobadhabits #mtbskillsamddrills #mtbcoaching #rideoutcoaching #attackposition #readytorock #readyposition #fundamentals #heavyfeetlighthands #powerpunches #hiphinge
