Paul... or Misty?
I had them both. Paul on Day 1, and Misty on Day 3 (They were both incredible to work with)
WHAT A BLAST! Wow... all I can say.. is .. ."I'm sooo glad that I did it"
And Pete, I agree whole heartedly... CSS is without a doubt, THE most professional group or instructors that I could ever hope to meet or learn from. I took level one thru three in Reno May 3rd-5th. I can't wait to go back, and take another two day camp.
My learning curve was ridiculous. Imagine to my suprise, when I after ten years of "putting".. I had to UNlearn all my mistakes, and RElearn to apply all these great new techniques... lol.
I can't imagine having the skill that it takes to ride like ALL The CSS coaches do... *shakes head. They are all poetry in motion. ALL of them! It was a real pleasure to watch them work! They are a special breed. It would take an absurd amount of time, and dedication to become half of what they are.
I think that their standard is "just right" in terms of where they should be... IT's the reason we pay the money we do to "play" with them, and have them show us the "error of our naive ways"
Anyone that can "keep up" in all the terms that that phrase relates too... is one special duck in my book...
Good luck to any, and all, that make it past Mr fair's "Tests of torture and sure defeat"
It was a pleasure to ride with him. I had the daunting task of riding with him on my Level Two day. He was my coach for the entire day. It's kind of special to be able to say that you had the "Head Instructor" for the WHOLE Organization WorldWide, all to yourself for the better part of a day. And hell... aside from him pulling me off the track that one time to discuss all the "movement going on" I'd say that it was just a heckuva fun day!
All kidding aside... The staff at CSS take their jobs Very Seriously. They are professionals all the way. I wish them all the luck in the world to find more of the same in themsleves.
