I was glued to this series from beginning to end. Not just a bad ass rider, but a brilliant teacher as well. I might just leave my iPad in the garage and watch it again and again before taking off for a ride. Thank you Chris and everyone involved.

I love the video series. Great coaching, I think the 'braap' noises you make are the best part. Seriously, very helpful and I am about to head out and give them a try this this morning. I have only got to episode 9 so no hill climbs today!
— David Hill
Best series out there for riding technics and lessons. Would recommend it to anybody no matter their level
— Pat Bryant
Dear Team, so well done!!! Explanation, demonstration, camera work, scenery, ... all extraordinary. I came across the wheelie video, and first thought: well, another one amongst many others. But that was not true. Immediately bought the whole series. It is such a good tutorial, and motivation to work on the small details and basic skills again and again. Thank you!
— Thomas Hanisch
The series is excellent. The best lesson for me was the seated cornering with the breakdown of getting the body position right, this has transformed my riding. Thanks!
— Neil Stobbart
Great content. I watched the whole series just to see everything covered. Now I'm going back through each episode and going through the exercises. Thank you for making this!
