very small course layouts

[Brian Ellison]

yeah my toe side is my weaker one but i was working on that a lot today. and ive been working on my ramp starts and feel very confident for the wiggle war

Brian, If you practice these simple courses you'll start to realize which side you're weak at...then be sure to practice your weak side the most...

Remember when I I suggested you watch Dave Pirnack? IMHO I feel he has a very balanced and squared up technique (heelside turns are near equal power to his toeside turns) so courses that are biased either heel or toe don't affect him as much...

First and foremost though is to have a good time... OH, and respect your neighbors

Brian,

If you want to practice try this:

Just set up 6.5-foot centers (six foot spacing.) Set them up straight then offset two cones two steps, two cones three steps, four, five. Then set it up to go the other way. Over and over. It will work your toeside turns then your heelside. You know the old "wax on, wax off." Then put them together.

so where i live, there is a complete absence of hills nearby and i really only have space to run a 15ish cone course on the flats. i was wondering if someone could give me some course layout suggestions besides a straight line or a straight line with a few offsets. anything to spice up my daily riding would be greatly appreciated
