quentin Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hi everyone, I am new here, I just bought a bmx hoping that I could use it as a beginner trials bike. I now realize I probably should have bought a used trials bike, but instead made the mistake of buying a new bmx. Is it possible to do some modifications to make it a half decent beginner trials bike? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bob Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) nope nothing really , but you could make the gearing more eaasier, lighter parts so still trial bmx, but best thing is swap it for a trials bike then it will ride like one Edited June 20, 2009 by Mr Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclip Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 As stated above^ youd be bet gettin shut and starting a fresh with a trials bike, however for now you could get your balance and learn to hop it on the two wheels. then once youve got your trials bike youll have a great deal of ballance, and all ready be on your way to getting used to riding trials there is a bmx forum also, you could have a see in there if there is anyone in wanted section, looking for a bmx like your's , or pinkbikes a good place to sell hope iv helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
