E-Mailed Tarty Bikes, and they told me not to bother buying new bars. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/handlebars/inspired_riser/c136p11074.html these are the bars. I checked the Trialtech, and the bars are 2cm higher? Does that really change the feel/make it easier to do street moves (i.e. bunny hops, g-turns, etc.)?

Going to buy some bars and try them out.. Is the Trialtech high rise better to try, or the Inspired Arcade bars?

How do you suggest I practice? I'm confused watching other riders techniques.. I'd like to know how you practiced it. I feel like I'm practicing wrong.. I'm trying it as of now with a lower psi than I normally do

These are the vids...

Does form, foot/pedal placement, arm angle make a difference? Also, are you pushing the pedals with your feet or pulling back with your arms? I don't know anything about trials lol

Well here's a pic of the bike.. don't know if you can see the stem... anyways, I'm 5'6" and I have back pain from a dirt bike injury.. do you guys think I should learn to balance on the rear wheel with wood pallets?

Hey guys, I'm new to trials and I bought a 2011 Inspired Fourplay Team that a guy built custom.. I'm struggling to learn how to balance on the rear wheel. I can pedal kick "okay" but I'm stressed that I can't balance on the rear wheel. I think it might be because of the bars and the stem.. the bike has an inspired high rise bar and a hope stem . I tried messing with angle but it's not helping.. do you have any suggestions?
