@plwaidner... thanks for your comment, and we totally agree! We're simply hoping to highlight the level of expertise behind the development and execution of the PMBI courses. We've been very careful with these courses, considering our backgrounds... even though we're also ski and snowboard instructors, for most of us (me in particular) mountain biking is actually our "first" sport. As such, we have been careful not to create a simple "carbon copy" of winter courses. I actually started developing the PMBI programs before I became a snowboard instructor.
That being said, if we want to create the best courses we can, learning from how they do things well in the winter (I agree, there are still ways they can improve) is a great way for us to assess, compare and ensure the quality of the PMBI Programs, while still keeping them 100% focused to being as relevant as possible for the mountain bike industry. We try to have as many of these "think tanks" to do exactly as you say... to bring in fresh ideas and thinking specifically from our biking, and teaching biking, backgrounds.
@ johnny-compton... we have two course dates this spring in Afan Wales, March 31st - April 2nd and April 6th - 8th
nope, nothing yet. Thanks for asking though! About Us
