Graham Jarvis Rider Academy, Rock Camp, WV. hosted by MotoEx.net

Probably the best weekend my wife and I ever had. Graham is the nicest guy you can ever hang with on the trail.

Wow very cool! He can do some amazing things that I could only dream about.

wow u can hang with Graham Jarvis LOL ur faster than u look

The older you get, the faster you gotta go so old age doesn't catch up to ya
They auction off his bike at the end of the weekend and I snagged it right away...2014 TE300 with new GoldenTyres & P3 carbon protection.
The MotoEx.net guys will most likely run another Rider Academy with Jarvis next year. Don' t miss it! It will make you a better rider.

Looks like a very good way to spend some time on a bike ... Out of everything else riders of Jarvis ability do on a bike, seems they always can get the needed traction for each move ...

If you had to sum up what you were taught in as few of words as possible, what did you learn about bike riding, Jarvis style?

Bravo!!! Way to go AirRider!!! Very nice snag!

Stop, evaluate & execute. Slower is faster. Load your suspension at precisely the right moment for best traction. Get your butt off the seat. Don't fear stoppies on downhills. He also showed us some cool balance exercises. Epic, Spectacular, Unbelievable.

Congrats on new bike!! When are riding again?

Thank you!
Saturday morning between 9 and 1.
How"s the shoulder?

Thanks and I'm doing some of this now as I have the time to commit to learning how to ride ~more correctly ...

Not ready for a downhill stoppie but a while ago, it was explained out here by Zip-Ty(?), to control the speed on a steep downhill at the top initially, with the front brake ... We're on the same page here and this works 100% for me ...

Since I am on the bike so much now, I've been doing some the suspension loading \ seat bouncing stuff on my own the last 6 months or so ... Just playing on the bike at lower speeds really ... Since Jarvis is saying it's the way, I'll bring this suspension technique out more often ...

Did he say to sleep with your clutch-lever each and every night or did he have different words on clutching behavior? I might be depending on doing too much clutch lever work instead of the suspension loading for traction..

One finger clutching should come naturally to seek the best traction, but during all the exercises, I slowly realized that the maneuvers can be done more successfully if the engagement point is closer to the bars. I got better and better as I increased the free play on my clutch lever.

shoulder is better riding already.. just taking it real easy for now

Also....I ran into Turtlemoye from the Cafe shredding the dirt with the rest of us, here's some of his moves.....





And that's him with those unmistakable red & white boots sitting next to my wife as Jarvis arrives for lunch....

More pics and vidoes pleaaasse , looks like you had fun!

Good luck with the bike. Wish I could make the ride with you guys on Saturday. Have fun!

Thank you! Rich, is that you mr. L? We cut a new trial around and over High Mountain in the northeast quadrant. Need to wear it in some more!

AirRider, Kosta, Adir and I went riding yesterday with Keven in Stockholm yesterday. Very nice riding there! Are you free late in the week, like Friday to ride? Did your new bike arive yet?

Bike next week I hope, paperwork is a little slow.
Stockholm is beautiful, just perfect for a couple of recovering riders like you and K. How did it go?

It was awesome. Did some intense Hillclimb's without any problem at all. I kind I had to wait for everybody at times at times. Because if your expert training and we were all in no hurry. Let me know if we can go for a ride soon any time any day but before the leaves catch up with us. They are starting to hide the rocks pretty quickly now. My only slight recovery feelings are when I stretch mostly when I get on and off the bike at obscure angles. II am ready to ride the Ramapos! And I mostly miss riding with you.

Oops because of your expert training
