bikeperson45 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Pretty much the same as without. I think sidehops would be a good place to start to get your confidence going, the move on to pedalup and all that. And it's important to be good at trackstanding since you won't have the brakes to help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Theres a few people here who ride brakeless. Brakeless can be quite fun, it will teach you alot about riding and how not to totally depend on your brakes. Its not so much a case of what you should learn and more of what you want to learn. You could keep it real and try and focus on the core trials things, or mix it up with whatever the hell you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles Mallinson Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 As said above learn sidehops first from 2 wheels and once you progress go from the rear, brakeless is a good way to learn to roll things more alot of riders tend to just hop up things nowadays brakeless shows you that you can basically use momentum to get up stuff.
