Where To Start?

Hi

Just looking to get into trials, I used to do motorcycle trials and in the last few years I've got back into the old school bmx scene. I love building and sourcing the parts and to be honest use the bikes all the time, they're not museum pieces to me so they should be ridden.The problem is that they are 25+ years old and things have obviously moved on (brakes for one!! - MX1000's although expensive to buy nowadays just don't work very well - apologies for thouse aged under 35 reading this who don't remember MX1000's :dance: ) so i'd like to also ride a modern bike.

I'm looking at buying a secondhand Inspired, not too fussed as to the model as any of them will more than enough for me to start with .....

Just wondered if anyone could offer some advice?

Many thanks

Rich

I would probably learn to backwheel hop first, and try to get the hang of balance moves to as these are good basics. Try to get a few pallets and just try to get up on them. Have a blast really. Look on http://www.trashzen.com/ for more proffesional tips. And do the things you enjoy:)

BUT, Don't actually "train" on doing some moves to get better etc, just try out things and have fun! I have a mate who bought a bike just because he thought my riding where cool, he wen't out and really trained his arse of trying to get the hang of some moves for a short time, well... He's now bike-less and are pretty good on video games, I suppose you know what i mean ;)

Happy riding:)
