I think by pedal kick you mean what we call a skippy. if so whilst moving pretty slow do a small endo by pulling your front brake. before your back wheel loands pull your back brake and when your back wheel lands pull the front up. then release your brake and pedal whilst pushing the handel bars. hope this helped. sam

I dont really know what pads would be the best but i recomend that you grind your rim. I only have v- brakes on my bike, as i am saving up for some hs33, but my brakes work really well. also try using tar on your rims if you haven't already. it works really well if you dont go over the top. hope you sort out you problem. sam

hi, ive recently started trials biking as well. I ride with the guy who posted above me and i agree with everthing he said. Onza bikes are good for learning on but a 20" will look a bit strange. I suggest you get a 26" as then you wont look a like a clown. I am currently riding a planet x zebdi which i have foud a good bike to start learning and i make more progress every time i ride (although im still not very good at all because ive only been riding 3/4 days) Im sure that you will find a good bike and really enjoy the sport. good luck :]
