C Grade Coaching ?????

Post by DIESEL DAN »

Would be great to get something off the ground for C graders.
Many C Riders have joined later in life than moved up from juniors.
Some basic technique lessons would be all that is needed.
What does everyone else think?

My advise is to stay in the novice grade until your ready to move up to Cgrade, ie: come in the top three consistantly. Too many riders move up to soon then complain that it is too hard forcing the section setters to ease of the sections. If you feel your ready to move up ride half the trial using the easyest of the next grades section and see how you go.

If your riding Cgrade you should already have mastered the basic techniques if you havn't you can do yourself some serious damage. Because these days a lot of novise riders can afford the same bikes that the big boys use they feel thay can move up earlyer because the bike flatters their limited ability that unfortunatly is not the case.

The best coaching advise is to practise with a higher grade rider on the C/B sections at the end of the trial.

Sorry to sound negative but unfortunatly very few riders learn their trade on 10+ year old machinery these days, where you learn the basics a lot quicker opting to ride a 270cc Ferrari instead, a Scorpa 125/175 would suit them better.

Diesel Dan,
the best way to learn is definitely to ride with someone of a higher grade than yoursulf. Watch, listen and take it in and practice heaps. Main thing is to give it a good go and enjoy yourself. I will be at a few Victorian events this year and am always happy to help out.
