Sorry to be harsh.The main 2 things in trials is drive and brakes. Having a decent drive chain will help you with moves, control and getting bigger and better. Brake help you stop and stay put. When i started i changed my drive to a new higher engament hub, then my pads as i had HS33's already, then bar and stem, forks and latter i killed the frame so a new frame. All the upgrades carried on over into the new frame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISO2 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Okay lets try a different way.Shins heal pretty fast and hurt for a good hour if you wack them!Your face will hurt for ages, girls will avoid you, you use it to eat etc etc! Takes forever to heal.You can jump over the bike should forks fail. Drive is what will keep you on that back wheel! The weight you have will help you get bigger as they way you ride, use the bike as a lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
