In Mx, top guys charge for a days coaching where you follow them around track and vice versa, track walks etc. It did really help for that. So i see no reason why it wouldn't in this. Agree with nick in some ways, but, i suppose it all comes down to paying for their time and the venues mid week etc. You do have to have some form of natural ability, but help like this does bring you on immensely
I'd pay a pound for a day at rhr james
(would you cover travel expenses then??
)
