I was out riding at Ray's the Thursday before ladys weekend, long story short it is amazing the people you can meet there. Hanging out on the XC deck this guy was teaching another guy how to balance on his bike properly to prepare for a jump. Well, trying to hone my jumping skills myself I asked if he was a teacher, he said yea! I am. The man teaching was Shaums March, the guy he was teaching was Jonathon a writer and rider from Bike Magazine. These guys were super nice. Shaums told me to do a couple of jumps to check out my form, told me one thing I was doing wrong and it immediately made a world of difference in my jump skills. I also met Judy Freeman at the pump track, super nice lady. Anyway's I love Ray's........
