Where To Practice In Winter Time ?

Recommended Posts

I wish I had the room to jump around with my stock :P

Should I be getting a mod as an indoors bike ? :giggle:

Winter is a good time to get your balance nailed. As long as you have enough space to stand on the bike your sorted. Try these...

- Track stand - good foot forward wheel turned to good side, good foot forward wheel turned to bad side, bad foot forward wheel turned to good side, bad foot forward wheel turned to bad side. Look around don't just stare at one spot.

- Balance - Both wheel forwards, good foot forward, bad foot forward, backwards revolution to swap between the two, squat down to touch your ass on rear tyre and back up again, try not to rock just move front wheel but as little as possible.

The above is for beginners. If you are a beginner getting the above dialled should keep you occupied for a good chunk of the winter. I stick some videos of trials on the laptop for some inspiration and to stop the boredom. I figure an hour a day is better than not riding at all.

Hope it helps.

No worries. I find it helps to load your forward foot when balancing. Which you will find useful when you get back outside!!

get outside in the crap weather and keep going youll be a hell lot better when it comes to summer and controlling your bike and understanding how it will move under and around you lose gain grip especiall for those odd slimy rocks and trees that are still there even in the summer. :shifty:
