joshlyd1 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Master those skills first and set times for trackstanding lets say 2 mins to start and progress up to ... and see how many hops you can do until you can just hop for ages these skills should help you later on when you start to try pedal kicks pedals kicks - a rear wheel hop with a kick of the cranks to propell yourself forward across up down obsticals , the pedal kick is by far the most important trick in trials ( like a ollie in skateboarding everythink revolves round the move ) You may want to practice endo's and endo 180's front wheel pivots etc mainly just get comfortable doing those tricks and you will be on your way There are also alot of help in this site - TrashZen.comIt has many tutorials to help you on your way Hope i helped Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshlyd1 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Thats ok anytime just to let you know if you do start attempting to pedal kick you will probally find it hard at once because there are techniques to all the moves and coming off different bikes this will feel quite odd at first but remember practice makes perfect happy ridings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
