MTB Riding/Maintainence courses

rtorbs

Peeps im thinking about doing a weekend course or similar in basic/intermediate MTB riding and/or a maintainance course being a noob and what not but would like some advice....

First off im in west yorkshire (halifax) and would like to do it relatively local but am not averse to traveling if needs be...

I've found this place and want to know if anyone has any experience with them?

(not sure if the link will post....bit drunk and blagged lol)

Also is this a good idea/investment ? Multiple threads suggest learning from pros/watching others....

and lastly do you recomend a break between basic and intermediate say in order to reflect and apply whats learnt or can it all be done together ?

Cheers folks

Skills course yes, maintenance course waste of time/money. It's mostly pretty simple and plenty of advice online.

Just post on the forum if you have a technical problem. That way you'll get a whole string of contradictory advice.
