Well what are you most comfertable on? Down hill or BMX? Have you been on Tarty Bikes? One of THE best places to get trials stuff. You can phone them also and there more than glad to help.

Hello....I personally beilve that learning on 20" is easier, they are lighter and your can throw the bike round easier. However, maybe your strength could play a good part in this because you could find it just as easy on a 26" bike if you have a bit on beef on you. Maybe see if you could visit a shop and try both sizes out?
