I want to pass onto Shane my sincere gratitude for the excellent training I received at the DirtWise school!  The 2 days were full of a lot of "aha!" moments for me. It was amazing how 10 minutes of explanation, a 5 minute demo, and then a personal correction or two from Shane was the difference between struggling for years and finally "getting it".

I am so encouraged by the fact I can practice almost all of the techniques at slow speed and low RPM in an open, safe environment. I don't have to risk my life pushing my limits at high speed in the tight woods to become a better rider!  As I comfortably master these techniques and make them habit at slow speed, I will naturally be able to ride faster and safer.

I'm a better rider thanks to Shane!

I also wanted to let Shane know I read the story about Rionn.  The correct perspective is important, eh? Something I always say is, "it's all relative". Rionn's story definitely makes that clear.  It's easier now for me to understand Shane's positive attitude about breaking his back in Warrensburg--he understands things could be a lot worse. There but for the grace of God, go I.
