Has anyone on here received a critique, followed specific advice, and improved? What was the advice you followed and what results did you see in your riding?
Why do people ask for critiques and then say things like, "everything that was said is incorrect and stupid" or "nit-picky" or they get mad when they actually get spot-on good advice?
Are people really that unaware of where and how they need need to improve? I know it's not easy to hear, but why ask in the first place?
I'm genuinely curious. I've read many critiques that were accurate and the rider would have improved tremendously if they kept an open mind and actually put into motion the advice they got, yet in the end the asker's reply is ungrateful and not so nice. So why ask for the critique to start with?
The best trainer I know personally is brutal. No time to waste on niceties. If you get a compliment then you REALLY earned it. He's not there to hold your hand. He wants to make you a good rider.
Thanks!
