Ok nice one, will do, see you soon Rick

Hello bigman! I'm setting off back home on Friday but will be back Sunday night if you wanna ride Monday afternoon? Or Tuesday? Rick

Hey, I find that if you go straight from 2 wheels you don't have as much momentum to jump as high. So I can go bigger going off the back wheel.. I start off getting my balance on both wheels parallel to the ledge I'm aiming for, once your ready, I do a quick back hop to get me on the back wheel then quickly let my front end drop (almost to the floor again if I'm going really big), crouch as low as I can over the back wheel stretching my arms slightly ready to jump. As You jump and kick, release the back brake slightly as you do, and jump as high as possible pulling the bars towards you and leaning to the side. Once your front tyre is over the ledge, push the bars forward holding your front bake while bending your knees so the back wheel can then follow your bum up, and hopefully onto the ledge as well.. Once you've got that and you wanna go even bigger, you'll start needing to put your back wheel to the side of your bum once your on top of the ledge so it doesn't get in the way. Otherwise you'll be wanting to go higher than your back wheel will let you, and it'll end up hitting your bum, and you'll probably fall off because it won't lift high enough.. Bit of a rant, but hope it helps! Rick

Hello people, I've recently just moved to Coventry as I've just started University and wondered if theres any trials riders about, havnt seen any yet, I've brought my bike down with me but forgot my helmet and gloves, so should be able to ride after I go home at the weekend (Monday 10/10/11). What areas do you guys normally ride? and what times cos I wouldnt mind meeting up for a session... If your free at some point if you drop me your names/numbers Ill get in touch next week sometime... Cheers guys Rick

Hey, Im Rick, Im 23 and ride a zoo pitbull. I used to ride trials ALL the time but had a bit of a car accident and lost the end of my very valuble right index finger! ..so i havnt riden properly for about 2 or 3 years now. My finger still hasnt grown back ( When i used to ride with my old mates I had done for about 4 or 5 years, but they have all sold there bikes and/or gone away to uni or other parts of the country now for stupid 'career' reasons and stuff... but i really wanna get back into riding and dont know anyone who rides anymore around me... I live near shibden park in Halifax, West Yorkshire, but iv got a car so id be willing to travel far and wide to go riding, especially now the summers here! So if you live in or around west yorkshire and have got any decent rides planned, PLEASE let me know and ill tag along! Hope to speak to someone soon! Rick x
