Which one? I think there's a few running out of there. I do know a chap who lives nearby who's a Mias qualified coach who I would recommend. PM me and I'll put you in touch if you like.

What skills are you looking to work on?

General XC riding although I really need to work on jumping! I cant Jump, Bunny hop etc, I feel I can ride to competent level but sure that an empty head could be filled with skills I should already be using.

PS. if you want jumping skills, theyre very xc orientated at pines.

Nope that's not me, and mine seems to be broken... Hmmm

Im mainly word of mouth, do quite a lot of gravity stuff at wharncliffe less stuff at pines, and tbh the amount of pines coaches is large and no offense to them but I'm a more gravity orientated rider so prefer Wharni. Id say my personal skill Set is greater than any of the pines boys so I teach drop offs and jumps etc. obv also do the basics.

With regard to coaching at Sherwood Pines, remember that anyone doing so needs to be licenced by the FC for that particular location.

That's one of the reasons my friends and I coach out of Cannock.
