I have been boarding every week for 6 months now and have quite a bit of confidence.
Recently I have attempted the small box that they put out on the nights and I have pretty much got the 50/50 bang on. Now I wouldn't mind putting some cash into getting some coaching and getting my skill level up abit.
Now the question is do the Tamworth Freestyle in a day course £95 after April, Or go down to MK and do the Maverix one at £115.
Has any one any experience of any of the courses and what were they like.
I have seen the videos on youtube that Maverix put out of there freestyle lessons and the guys look like they progress quite alot. |

i've never heard any feedback about the tamworth ones so I suspect you'll struggle to get a comparison, i'd want to know what features they have out for the day though as i'd be gutted if i had to spend all day hitting the small box.
maverix courses always get a decent shout out on here though  |

Havent done anything at Tamworth so cant comment on their coaching.
Id personally go for Maverix, if you can try get down to Hemel on one of there day courses, or MK is ok. You should progress in a day as well, just think about what you want to learn and progress at and they will make sure you stomp it! |

The only things I can find is the Blurb on the snowdome website
http://www.snowdome.co.uk/ski-snowboard ... -in-a-day/
And that says it will be boxes rails and kickers but other than that its quite vague.
@Homer
Hemel is a little far Getting on for 2 hours with me being a midlander and all that.
I really don't know what kinds of things I want to be doing. I would love to be as good as some of the guys you see doing 360s off the tiny kicker at tam and pulling them off in style. |

| MK would be ok, try one of them courses. They'll progress you from basics up, so its not chucking you in at the deep end. Give it a go and just have a good time and im sure you'll progress more. |

or you could visit maverix.org which will have all the available courses on it.
Totally recommend a maverix course. I did one at MK which was awesome, got me tentatively trying boardslides and fs3's, which I never thought I'd try! |
