chris birch enduro skills day

[barossi73]

Last weekend had the privilege of attending one of chris's 'enduro skills days'
With a group of 12-15 riders he covered bike setup,body position,techniques for braking,cornering,clutch/throttle control,popping slow wheelie etc thru the morning.The afternoon was spent out in the foothills of mt torlesse station applying those skills to steep descents and hillclimbs,including one climb where he offered our money back if we made it to the top.He then demonstrated it perfectly....our turn....no one got a refund!Next was my personal bugbear-logs!
After demonstrating the techniques for both small(300) and larger(600mm) we stepped up...needless to say there were some priceless moments in this session!several superman impressions etc.
Absolutely brilliant day allround,learnt i had a few bad habits,plus some new techniques,and cant speak highly enough of how decent a bloke chris is,no matter your riding ability you will come away a better rider.
Looks like his sessions in canada are booked but hes in oz october(berriman)
Sorry i cant post a couple clips,but my data cap wont allow(damn kids and ipods)
