As a 1st time rider on jumps would I be hitting that king of stuff by the end of the day ? (Big drop off)
Or is that how long is a piece of string .)

I doubt it but you will definitely be doing things you didn't think you could do before the start of the trainning.

Check out Jedi's site at
http://www.ukbikeskills.co.uk/

and in particular his blog
http://ukbikeskills.blogspot.com/

to get an idea of the style of teaching and what he takes you through - again he's not teaching you to 'hit big stuff' he's teaching you the basics of how to corner - jump - drop - brake - carry speed. Where that takes you is up to you :) A 20ft drop requires the same basic technique as a 1 ft drop.

Drop him a line im sure he can explain it better than me!
