Cryosoul Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 So i got my bike and was out on it for the first time on it today. Long story short, i'm really bad at it xD I knew i would be to begin with, but it's so much harder than i imagined. The only thing i could do half decent was bunny hops (Normal and american) and the best i got was bunny hopping over a 3 foot pelican crossing thing. My question is, where do i begin learning? Do i start with balance? or try nail bunny hops first? or wheelies and endos? I have no idea... Any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 What style of riding are you wanting to progress to? Street or Comp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryosoul Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 it was length, not height and It took many, many attempts xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooo Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Start with these tutorials: work on balance, hopping, rocking, pivots, trackstands, endos and raising the front wheel. After a couple of weeks you will know where to go from there. Balance is important because it helps you learn more complex moves without wasting loads of time getting lined up, start with the basics and get a solid foundation and you will learn faster with less frustration. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL70170F3DAC2E5DC0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROYston Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Could always start with supermansteatubegrabbarrelrolls? Nah, just get your basics first, balance and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Check out the tutorials on Trashzen.com, they'll help you out loads. And as said above try and get your balance and trackstands nailed as a starter as thats what you'll need the most, then it's a case of learning to backhop, going up stuff, going down stuff, etc.... Try and get out on a group ride nearby if there are any even if it means a drive or train ride, riding with others is in my eyes the best way to learn and you can always ask for advice!

HippY Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 you should start with the trial based tricks, like trackstand, rocking/pivot, endo, backwheelhop. after that you could work on jump on/down things and after that(or long time before that) you will see that you love this style or you would like to learn street tricks too.
