Done a few camps with these Guys and always come away feeling I have advanced my riding and wanting more, they never fail to impress. They are all extremely professional and fun. Personal feedback and analysis is always concise and clear.
Like the way they make me think about my riding during lessons so I have something to work on when not being instructed. |

| Review Detail |
| I went to MINT as I had a flat in the area and had experienced some pretty terrible instruction in the past. I came across MINT through www.powderroom.net who did an interview with Tammy last season. Tammy took me on a 121 lesson for 2 hours and was absolutely fantastic. Her knowledge and abitity to teach were second to none. She sorted out an entrenched problem using metaphors which worked very well for me. I had been struggling with this for ages and she sorted it out in less than 2 hours! As well as learning she made it fun and I felt much more confident after my lesson. I wish MINT had been around when I'd started boarding as I could've saved myself lots of money, time and bruises!! |
|
| Strengths |
Ability to tailor teaching to the individual: to be a good instructor you have to be able to teach people as well as have the knowledge. In my experience many have the later but not the former.
Getting results
Making it fun!
Building confidence |
|
| Weaknesses |
| None! |

| Review Detail |
| I've had separate lessons with Mint over the past few seasons. A couple of years ago i felt i'd hit a plateau with my riding. I had some lessons with Adam who managed to deconstruct my bad habits and get me technically better, which was a great help. Last year was Tammys turn and she really pushed me on sorting out my switch (which is technically better than my regular apparently!), and working on some tricks. Can't recommend them enough to be honest - top people! |
|
| Strengths |
Able to explain the technical side to simple folk like me
Great attitude
Easy to follow in a white-out (those suits are greeeeeeen) |
|
| Weaknesses |
| none for me |

I did a camp with these guys in the spring- perfect snow conditions for throwing yourself off kickers and jumps, which we did .
Adam broke it all down and after a week of getting front and backside 3's nailed it gave me the confidence to move on to cab 5's - which was my personal goal.
Adam's a legend!
