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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OAP Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Yeah I think I pretty much got the trackstand down But the balance exercise will help me for sure, thanks man ! No worries. I find it helps to load your forward foot when balancing. Which you will find useful when you get back outside!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt24. Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 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.

dannytrialskid Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Just ride outside. The wet is going to kill you. You might slip when going on stuff, but the more you ride in the wet the more you get used to the way you have to position yourself so that you dont slip.
