Jake. Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 When I started, I had nobody- not even this forum. I kept pushing and pushing but eventually you will get there. I've got about 6 people into trials. Goodluck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the same boat although not as late on as you. I don't know anyone from my area and I'm still shockingly bad......practice makes perfect (and bruises). First one to make a vid wins?

nick098 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 It can be hard when you have no one to learn off. All my friends ride different styles, BMX's and mountain bikers, they all do abit of street riding though so its not too bad but i don't have anyone to teach me or show me any new trials tricks. Some good places i've found for advice on the web is here, trashzen and ryan leech how to videos on youtube. I learnt to static 180 off his how to video. Good luck and always try new things, start simple and have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
