They are really interesting videos. I'm amazed how he talks like an old man but rides like a young one.
If you want to know the classic, sound way to jump...learn it from him. Unfortunately my computer is no good for watching videos.
I'm a big fan of his. Thanks for the link.

I'd much rather get instruction from him this way than through a real clinic.... Last month my best friend went to a clinic of his with a young girl from her barn. The girl rode and my friend was watching and was there to help her because their trainer couldn't go, so they paid for my friend to go. It was a 3 day clinic and George Morris showed up the first day and then left the next morning and went home. He called two girls stupid in front of the entire clinic and told another her horse wasn't worth the meat on his bones. To top it off, he tried to refuse to refund anyone for the missed days. It was $100 to watch and $750 to ride...

I've heard this about him many times. I respect his knowledge but not that kind of meanness.
It'd be cool if you could download this to an ipod and listen while you're riding.

I know he is not the nicest guy in the world but you can't doubt his knowledge. He has been known to be a bit of a diva at times. I know of a few people that have rode in his clinics.
He is very old school and that is how I was trained. It just nice to be able to validate all the things I have been trained. Plus, he hates the crest release... I always laugh when he rants about the crest release!

No matter how good someone is someone else is paying pretty good money for that person's help, not insults.

That is really cool, but, being there in person to get insulted and watch others get insulted is half the fun of going to clinics, right?:p
