Hi gcoe,

Thank you for your response to my thread. I've been looking around for a specialist in London but have not been successful so far. I've contacted a gymnast friend of mine who may know of one.

I'll take your advice and get a recent film together of my cross attempt and show it to a coach. If it's technique that's steering me wrong, that would be brilliant. I had considered it but am untrained for making such observations and could have missed something easily.

Thanks again for your advice, I will post again when I make progress with this.

Richard
