I wish I had signed up sooner!
Cornering and pumping was my first biking course I have ever taken. I had been debating for years to sign up and now wish I had signed up sooner.
The group was fun and supportive, the instructor was amazing and gave the confidence to push myself.
I went out on a ride a couple days later with lots of berms/corning to put what I learned into practice and beat my PR by minutes. It was the most fun I’d had being able to make the trail flow and at a good speed. So fun.
