Create a virtual guided course walk
A course walk with added audio and/or video can help riders to be better prepared, engage spectators and promote your coaching skills or sponsors. And it's free to create and publish! With Safe Sport protocols preventing group physical course walks Australian coach Marcia Williamson gave invaluable tips to riders in her Denman guided course walk
- Make sure you are in a quiet place. Background noise can spoil the effect
- Portrait photos look best
Step by Step
We are assuming you have the course on our phone. If not, record the course yourself or ask the organisers to share the download link with you
Adding audio & Video
- Tap the fence to open it and tap Edit
- Make sure you know where the microphone is (usually on the bottom) and speak into it for clear recording
- Tap the voice memo icon to start recording
- Tap again to stop
- At the same time you can add photos, video, fence names, striding or text comments
- Check the sound level of your audio or video before going to the next fence, just in case you need to rerecord. Do this by scrolling through the photos and tapping the voice memo icon
- Tap Save to continue to the next Fence
- Tap the video icon to take a video - eg. of a rider or coach striding out a combination. If they speak clearly as they walk you should also be able to capture what they say

Don't worry if you make a mistake, simply record again and delete the voice memos you don't want
