Kris Westwood,who represented Canada at a number of World Cyclo-cross Championships in the 90's, has produced a number of excellent training videos dealing with the development of CX skills Go here for the one on dismounting and remounting and then you will be able to access the rest.
For anyone interested, I've posted some pictures from Sunday's event of some MIVA members here. I can send out originals if anyone would like them. Great turnout by MIVA membership!
Seems the organiser lost count due to being on Alberta time for a week. This week is the final clinic and there will be two more training sessions on October 10th. and 17th. As Janna suggests, these will take the form of fast laps over a simplified circuit so participants can hone their skills. Clinic components will include a review, hints on modifying mountain bikes to suit CX events and also how to execute a face plant with grace and aplomb!
