Skoze Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Try trackstands, get your balance dialled, then progress to backhops/ pedalhops, they're the basics of modern trials.Just make sure you take your time and get everything perfect, you'll appreciate it later, for example i went straight on and tried bigger and better things, and as such my back wheel control is awful.

Luke_zoo Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) From TrashZen.Peddle kicks.It takes a while to control the rear brakes and release the back wheel just for the pedal kick, then block it straight away to avoid a crash on your back. Start on a flat ground, lift the front wheel by just kicking firmly once in your driving pedal and leaning back, then pull the rear brakes when you reach a standing position. From that position on the rear wheel, let the front wheel drop a little bit by leaning forwards, and before it touches the ground, release briefly the brakes and give another kick in your driving pedal (then brakes full on again). Of course, each time, you need to re-adjust your pedal position so that you are ready to kick with your good foot. ..Just practice...and practice and practice, until you can do at least two or three pedal kicks in a row.More tipsOnce you get there, try to be more precise with your kicks. Find some marks on the ground, and try to control where you start, and where you stop. You'll notice that if you lean forward just before the pedal kick, you'll be able to reach the next stop further. Lowering the front wheel before the pedal kick gives you more power and also compensates for the front wheel lift you get from the kick, preventing stupid crashes on your back. You can also boost your pedal kick with the bouncing effect of the rear tire (low pressure). Then you can launch these pedal kicks one step down from a kerb and then up that same kerb to feel the move. For the upward move, you need to pull up further on the bars after the pedal kick. Make sure you control your stops before moving to bigger gaps.Try and do this on curbs a pallet ect...When you have learnt all this you then can try to go up two pallets and just keep on going but not too hard so your unable to do it IMO I would keep the stuff small untill I'm able to control my bike on the back wheel then after lots of hard work doing it, I would then start to get bigger.Hope this helps you learn the basics of Trials.Click on the link below to learn more stuff.TrashZen website.
