Kind of a last minute set up but some of the pro riders and I were brainstorming over beers the other night and thought it would be fun and hopefully helpful to host a practice session or two in Stevenson this Wednesday and Thursday afternoon for any of the riders that are planning on competing this weekend.

I've got Chris Bobryk, maybe Colleen Carrol, Tommy Fields and maybe a couple more of the pros from last weekend that will be on hand to answer questions, provide tips on planning your heat, and do some real time coaching.

If you don't ride Stevenson very often it is helpful to come on down and get a feel for jumping close to the beach and how the rotation works.

Any riders who are interested reply here or PM me. Or have your parents do it!

Chris will be available from 2:00 p.m. on-wards in Stevenson on both Wednesday and Thursday. (if there is wind).

I am sure I can talk Nico into doing some coaching too. How much better could it be to have the talents of such great pros there to help elevate your game?

So far we've got one rider coming to Stevenson tomorrow. Chris Bobryk will be there at 2 p.m. if anyone else wants to show up. Come take advantage of some one on one coaching!

Two riders so far. Room for anyone who wants a little coaching or just to discuss tactics for planning your heat.
