sandeeebeach219 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hi I am having trouble pedal kicking up things that are over about a foot high. Are there any tips that could help me get higher? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Vandart Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 How long you been riding trials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 when you say pedal kick, are you meaning a static or rolling move? do you ride with other people? can they see what your not doing right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Vandart Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Then don't worry about it, u need to build up a bit more muscle in the areas responsible for the action, keep at it and it will come easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Vandart Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Good question dude. Best advice that can be given is to just ride, dont worry about doing this and learning that, and getting that high etc. There is no point in rushing into it, don't know how old you are but guessing quite young. This means you have an advantage over old gits like myself: You have ages to become a-mazing and you probably will alot faster than you think. 1 ft pedal kick is a respectable height to be at after not riding trials for long, there are plenty o riders that cannot do that after a year. It will come naturally as you ride more. Just being on yer bike will improve everything, so just ride it, try stuff, fail stuff and make stuff, it's all part o the fun. to answer the problem in a more technical manner, you are probably not pre-loading very much and if you are young you will have a muscle weight disadvantage for a short time, the best way to overcome this is to ride more and keep trying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im 16 years old by the way. About 5ft 9inches. But yeah i guess youre right about just riding. I need to ride in different places a lot i think, so i have experience of different situations/surroundings. Think Im going to start going into Dunfermline or Perth or Edinburgh. Thanks for the advice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Ok in that case, what do you think i should be working on? I can pedal kick reasonabley confidently but dont really know what to practice/learn Thanks I've been riding just over a year now, same as Alex (alex-trials-boy on here) and i learnt things how i learnt them and in the order i wanted to learn them he learnt them in cirtan orders but i came off top, i dont mean to sound as if this IS the right way to learn things but i found you learn things quicker like this and its more fun doing it like that. I didn't mean this post to sound rude or boastful atall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
