Share LinkAbsolutely awesome!
Simply great, got quite a bit of mountainbiking experience in XC, but never done real downhill. Our group was with 3 people, 2 woman and me, as we had 2 coaches we directly split so I could get just the attention I needed to get me going. They also have some nice deals to directly continue afterwards. Thanks CJ for the great tips, hopefully back soon :-)
