[Dušan]

Well at first i didnt want to post this.... as i dont like the riding ... as iam still way too stif... and i would say its only gap video.... but whatever

Ive been riding for 11 months.... i rode 20" for 5 months and a 26" for 4... now iam going back to mod as i iam not powerful enough... and iam still bit young for some "more advanced" power training... so iam going to get mod zoo lynx 09 long

not bad at all! For 11 months riding you are hell of a lot better than I was! As you said you do look a little stiff, try and relax and the riding should improve.

Also, I wouldn't really recommend going for the easy option and get a mod. Since when do any athletes go for the easy option when training or practicing? If you stick on the stock, I think it will teach you more about riding trials in the next year, than 2 years would on a mod (how weight effects the bike, having to put more power in, muscle building etc).

Thanks a lot for advice... yea i said that iam changing my stock for mod but not this one... iam going to change piutbull 07 short... which is like mod on big wheels in my opinion an iam going to keep this one..... and i dont want to stick to mod at all... even now i know i get back to stock for sure.... and i want to start weight lifting to increase power.... and also cardio as after few bigger moves i need rest.... what is very disturbing -.-

ok cool, short stocks are amazing to learn on, way better than long bikes I think (for the same reasons I said before).

I wouldn't worry too much about weight training, the best thing you can do is ride the bike as much as possible, there is no point having power but lacking control. Riding the bike will only work the muscles needed, there's no point making other muscles bigger, that's just adding weight to your body.

As a related thing, I'd also suggest getting a setup then just sticking with it for as long as possible. Constantly changing your bike is going to make it harder to actually learn moves because you're constantly going to be set back by having to re-learn how to ride a different bike before you can even get around to learning new moves.

I know what you mean... well except of going to front stuff and hooking up ive already done... (i wasnt able to do sidehop for 10 months... once ive tried it on friends mod and ive done it.. thats one of the reasons i want the mod ) so i just need to learn front wheel stuff and hooking up which i think isnt that hard... well ofcourse if u are not going on 2 meters high wall... and on other stuff i just need to make the technique as best as i can!

Really enjoyed that. I've been riding for a similar amount of time and your way ahead of me! Its good to see a video of someone who is not yet a superdupermega rider though I'm sure you'll ge there soon.
