I have been both the receiving and giving end of bad advice (not on purpose). The truth is, unless you are getting help from an experienced coach, advice should always be suspect. And even with that, coaches sometimes get ingrained with bad habits that get passed on to others. I have done all of the Trail Tips, as well as many of the RLC website courses, and they are fantastic! Instead of giving a 'this is how it should be done in all situations,' Ryan breaks down skills in bite-sized increments, and helps you discover how one skill/technique may need to varied to account for terrain, speed, experience, equipment and any other variable you may encounter. I have improved more from the RLC site than from working one-on-one with a coach, which I did for an entire riding season. Thanks Ryan!
