ogre Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 do you have any experience with bikes, or is the first time you've taken up cycling as more than just nipping to the shops? if your completely new to riding it wouldnt hurt to just get a feel for how the bike rides, don't try pedal hopping etc, learn to roll over objects, planting your front wheel on top of them, locking, or squeezing the brake to bring your back end up and onto the object, or find some local riders it's easier to progress with freinds and competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliet Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 the first thing you should learn is forword hop because when you can forword hop you can start doing gaps and other things like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pecha_cat Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 first of all, as Jack said, take a look on trashzen.comfirst thing to do is trainig your ballance, all the time.alsobegin, tryin' to hop forward, ride on some obsticles, learn how to move your bike ( pivot, trackstanding, hoping with bouth wheels on sides).good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Can't believe it took 6 replies before someone said the word trackstand. You will get absolutely NOWHERE unless you learn how to not go anywhere. Learn the trackstand till you can do it with your eyes closed, one handed or no handed. Get this basic DIALLED and the rest will be easier. Then learn to unweight your back wheel, either on its own or as part of a bunny hop. THEN (and not first, as mentioned by some cretin...) you can start thinking about hopping about on the back wheel. If you skip straight to that you'll get frustrated and quit, or just be shit.Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 I laugh like a drain, chill dudeI am chilled. The cretin remark wasn't at you - I was commending you for mentioning the basic building block unlike everyone else.It's just ridiculous that these days people try to run before they can walk.... That's why we have so many complete and utter bollocks videos coming out now, people have no style and no attempt at making things looks smooth and solid because they don't even know how to be smooth and solid on the floor, let alone during a gap or whatever.

I haven't done a vid for about 4/5 years and they didn't get put on here because they were shiiiite. Unfortunately, I have seen vids of you and thus I know you don't qualify to even start going down that line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
