I think what I love most about these vids is the fact he talks her through everything; he doesn’t jump on his bike and undermine her by showing her how easy it is. The only time he’s on the bike is at her request. Trying to teach your partner to ride and embrace something you’re passionate about can really challenge the relationship dynamic. Blake is so great at it, and Jen is a trooper. So awesome!

Loved the video of you and Jen, I think this is one of the best vids you could do with learning basic skills with Jen. Because yes you have done some beginning vids and they were great, but seeing Jen trying them for the first time makes it more realistic to learning in our position and allows us to see in Jen where she is nervous and making the mistakes or gradually getting it till she cracks it. So when we try it we have more of a insight and what to expect ahead of use. Thanks both of you.can't wait to see more of these, it has now given me more conferdence to try all these skills out.
