Spontaneously forget your skills on trails? The science of learning MTB Skills (effectively)! #013
Description
Exploring the science of learning mountain bike skills (and all motor skills), touching on neuroscience, answering why you technically know what to do, but then suddenly forget what to do on trails, why there are more effective mountain bike skills coaching methods than the currently popular ones and how you can learn ANY skill you want as an adult effectively and safely in a sustainable manner. Also, we talk about whether it's essential to have a coach by your side to learn effectively and how you can get the most out of group skill clinics.
