 2011 Instant Finesse™  class dates:

"I can do a track stand!"

Kids, women and men seeking greater control, easier balance, and better offroad technique benefit from Jacquie’s teaching.

Cost is $120 per person for the two hour clinic. Riders will learn to ‘read’ the trail better, balance on the bike, hop curbs and stop safely.  The skills are taught in a controlled, paved environment, followed by a little woodsy practicum.

I have been passing on skills to novice (=nervous) riders since the Last Supper, and asking them how they thought my curriculum & teaching style suited them.

Here, then, is a recent “Afterglow Report”

“You were so down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. I felt comfortable immediately, you are so accessible, I knew I could ask you questions and you made our space one very conducive to learning. I gained confidence; skills, and a new found excitement for my bike.”
