try doing to backhopes facing up a hill without the back brake on. it helps keeping the peddles level and keeping your weight forward.

Aaron.Tottman replied to Khooper's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
If you want to ride dual slalom then you go for it. it won't be a bad frame for trials but you might find that that frame is a little harder to keep on the back wheel. not trials geo' -

Do You Ever Need A Seat, Or Do They Just Get In The Way?

Only if you need to ride far. i did the same with my T-Rex but as soon as i started riding it came strait of -
I agree with the hole one finger thing, martyn ashton showed me i little trick years ago. not to do with backhopping as such but will help on all parts of the move (getting on the bk wheel, trackstand ect) when your in the track stand with the front wheel up against a wall/ rock keep your choco foot slightly lower that you trailing foot and most of the wieght on your choco foot. practice taking you wieght of the choco foot and roll back slightly. you get used to the rolling back and forth with as little braking as you can. then try the same tech but on the back wheel and the front up on the wall. it takes time to do but get this down rolling back and forth against the wall and you'll learn when and how to put apply the brakes. if the brakes ain't working either try roofing tar or monty bike spray. hope this helps. i know what it's like to learn trials on you own.:~) CODEwww.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=2083&category_id=5 if not try and get a copy of: DIRTY TRICKS AND CUNNING STUNTS from chilli video. it's old but will teach you most of what you need to know bout trials moves. sound
