AdaamR Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Hey everyone im Adam from Co.Durham, Thought i would post and introduce myself. Im 17 Years old 18 in 8 days. So a couple of days ago i just bought my first serious trials bike, an Echo Team Pretty nice Spec. I used to have an onza cleaner 26" and before that a commenal hardtail. Anyway i really didnt like the Cleaner so im basically testing the water with a 20" Bike, So far im liking it, The balance feels more natural and i can hop on the rear wheel of the Echo from a couple days practice when i couldn't get the hang of it on the Onza. Every night after work im riding an hour or two depending on what time i finish so hopefully will pick things up fairly quickly. Ill stick a picture on the bottom if you want a look. Anyway if anybody has anything that they think i should focus on learning next to help progress quicker then feel free to share any advice will be appreciated, thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Welcome matey, my number 1 piece of advice would be don't rush stuff too much. Whilst it is good to push yourself to try new tricks and stuff don't go too mad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew C Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Welcome mate, and like isitafox said i wouldn't try to take on to many things at once. You can get really frustrated if you set your goals to high so just stick to the basics for a while. P.S I gave you a validation vote because you seem like a pretty decent guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdaamR Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Yeah, Even though i didnt like the onza much at all i still wanted to get better and i think that i set my goals too high, when i didnt reach them i got dissapointed and it put me off, just starting with the basics this time, and thanks Andrew.
