Zog Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) I have just purchased an Onza Ska but I am starting to wonder if this is the right bike for street trials? I am completely new and spent a few hours researching but didn't ask on the forums So is this good for street trials? General Specs: (Fat Back Wheel) 20" No Seat Edited May 19, 2014 by Zog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) If you're thinking about the "street trials" danny macaskill does, then no that's not the "right bike". I presume that you are a beginner? If so, starting off on a 20" onza (like you have) is a really really good base to learn the basics on! Way better to learn the basics on a 20" bike and then move onto a 24" inspired like Danny macaskill have.

Ben Cox Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 also, this is in completely the wrong section of the forum. Ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zog Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Yeh Sorry But the fact that it has what I would call a fat back tire, is still ok for a beginner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Leigh Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 heres a tip, dont rush into street straight away. stay and learn everything with "pure" trials and after a year or so, start adding some variation to your riding. that way it'll be a lot easier, at least it has been from my experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zog Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Thanks, But what do you mean by "pure trials"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Go to videos section and search for a rider called Stan Shaw He does 'pure' trials(with some extra moves) Ali C does street trials Stay with ska I rushed and i wish i would stayed...

Muel Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Just ride it. Not being funny but if all you know about trials bikes is that they have fat back tyres, then it doesn't matter what kind of trials bike you've got. Learn how to back hop and ride up walls, then as you ride more and watch more videos and go on rides you'll start to learn about the sport, then you'll know what bike you need. For a beginner it's perfectly fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
