trialsmax04 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Ive been fiddling with my bike for weeks, and now i think i have got it just how it should be.However, all this is good, but my riding is toatally pants! I can bunnyhop, endo, sidehop and hop on the back wheel, but i am a real beginer. I need little things to practice just in my garden and in the street to try and get better. I really would like to lean to hop up onto walls and things. When i try them now, i just plunge the front wheel into them and fall off .Any little bits to try are welcome. max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyBaz Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I don't think you can actually ask people how to do tricks. You've just got to go out, and find your own way of doing it. Well, that's what i do anyway ! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they're pretty helpful.Also, trashzen.com is a very good website. But, if you've got a 20" it's a bit harder to find the information you need- but, i'm sure it's just the same stuff.I've bought the ''trials lessons'' DVD from tartybikes.com and that's very helpful- talking about what you need to do, and then showing it.I would suggesst any of the DVD's on tartybikes and i'm sure some of the others are good as well.Good luck with trialsing!mat.

Cresswell_d Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I say this to anyone who hasn't got a copy.......get Dirty Tricks and Cunning Stunts on dvd! It may be old, it may be corny, but its a right laugh and will teach you some useful stuff.I can remember back in the day when I use to watch the videos on VHS with dave! (When I first started trials)Now I started up again I watch alot of videos to help me out.When you go out biking, film alot of your stuff what you do, because you can watch it back and compair and see what you are doing wrong/ or right.Daz.

Ali C Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I kinda agree with Lewis.a lot of being a good rider is in the head. If you are confident about a move, you have a much greater chance of making it. A positive mental attitude helps just as much as anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
