If you don’t believe the hype you should – he is very good.
High point (other than the 6 foot gap jump) was my first go on the pump trail towards the 9’ table top. Never pumped before (and rarely got any air time) and suddenly I was in the air and heading towards the far end of the table top thinking how the fcuk did I get here.
Tony has a very easy teaching style and does seem to get inside your head (hence the name jedi).
Lots of basic stuff for me (only been riding for a little over 6 months) but well worth the 300 mile drive.

I've been to see the master too.
Brilliant experience taught me a lot about the skills I was neglecting and plenty of tips on how to improve!
If you have the bike and the enthusiasm for riding you need to go see him. And be quick he gets booked up fast!0 -
Well done, amazing what they teach you just the basic stuff helps most and once you have been shown you think, damn why didn't UI do that before.
Get practicing the jumping and you'll be clearing all sorts in a couple of months

/edit, nvm; found 8) http://www.ukbikeskills.co.uk/index.html for anyone else wondering what this lot are twittering on about Everything in moderation ... except beer
Beer in moderation ... is a waste of beer
If riding an XC race bike is like touching the trail,
then riding a rigid singlespeed is like licking it
... or being punched by it, depending on the day0 -
Thanks for your kind words. Glad you made it home. Longway!
