Chris. Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 (edited) Well, I'm in the same situation as you mate. Over the last few days on this forum I've picked up that learning to balance well, and pedal kicks are the main thing you need to learn. After that its all just practice and trying new things to progress I found a few video's on youtube on how to do those things if you would like me to find them again for you ? Also, have you come from another type of biking ? See, I've come from downhill/4X/Street and DJ. Most of the things I've learned from that i can put into my trials riding. From simple things like balancing and bunny hops, to things like endu 180's and rock stepping etc... Chris. Edited December 13, 2008 by Chris.

Jack.lad Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 well what i did first was learnt how to balance on the back wheel first then gradualy do some static hops whilst on the wheel. once your confident at them try throwing in a pedal kick then it just evolves from there . cheers jack . and also wheelying on a mountain bike may sound stupid but it helps you find your balance point easyer so give that ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan S Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 what I did?I uploaded some awesome videos to my ipod, went out with a bike.....watched how it was done and tried it over and over (like pedal up).then i started to ride with other riders. was a bit shy to ride among best riders in the city, not knowing how to stay on back wheel. but they accepted me, taught me how to do everything.Mostly you just need to practice a lot. Choose a stunt and do it over and over until you do it really clear. Try to do it good, rather than high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
