From the lesson

What to watch out for

Releasing the handbrake before the bite is ready, or concentrating on the pedals and forgetting observations.

Practise on your next lesson

Ask to practise on a gentle hill first, then a slightly steeper one once the order feels calm.

Ask your instructor

“Did I have enough bite before releasing the handbrake?”

How is this different from YouTube?

Josh’s free videos let you explore individual topics. The course puts the learning into a sequence, with written explanations, visual guides, mistakes to avoid, practice tasks and questions to take to your instructor.

Some course videos are also freely available on YouTube. You are paying for the organised course and its supporting learning material.
