Video: How To Actually Learn New Skills On Your Bike With Ben Cathro - How To Bike Episode 1
Slowing things down has had a noticeable difference for me in cornering. Easily half of my rides are now with my daughter on the mac-ride which forced me to slow the pace down and actually provides that mental capacity to think through foot and body positioning, bike lean, line choice etc. It also means my bike is 45lbs heavier so smooth/momentum is key. I don't think I would be anywhere near where I am at without a year of 'slow rides' sprinkled in to provide the time to really work on the process.

@Balgaroth: The last two trail maintenance days I was at this year had a rider who had bought his first bike only weeks before. I've only been riding for a couple years and already get to as many work days as the schedule allows. Maybe in your area all newbies are a-holes and you have to be an old veteran to give back but that's a pretty broad generalization to make.
There will always be those that are just dabbling but a truly hooked new rider may just jump in with both feet.
