SebJT Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Went back to uni 3 weeks ago and didnt take my trials bike again, came home this weekend, cos i was feeling quite ill. Had to go out on my bike though yesterday, also my brother is getting into animation and video production and has just perchased some awesome new £900 video camera :D Anyway went out and well my riding was still fine was just chilling out riding stuff i could do etc only my ups had suffered a bit after the three week break which was nice to see :D Then got home and watch back all the footage my brother got and well just looks like i put absolutly no effort into anything which certainly isnt a bad thing. But i just cant put any more effort in. I know that if i somehow could i would progress loads. Might try and get a couple of vids up later to show it... My weight doesnt shift atall as much as it could, like i do no preload and not really much "push" during the move. Notcied this for wheel switches, gaps and pedal up. Any tips on how to get me moving my weight around more will hopefully get me pulling off that 8ft gap or that 4ft up as opposed to the 7ft gap and 3ft up...

Luke Drewery Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 I have got the exact same problem, last year i did some demos for my local bike shop, and they filmed it all to play in the shop (theyre still playing it now which im quite proud of :D ) When i watch myself on the video, i dont seem to be putting much effort in at all. When i watch realy good riders they are really explosive and can up well high, but i cant back wheel as high as i know i could because my confidence stops me putting my maximum effort in. its quite annoying.

Janson Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 It's all in the head. If you want the extra few inches, you really have to put your mind to it. Focus at 110% and really, really explode, throwing your body as hard as you can. Happens sometimes, and that's when you progress. Just focus and really give it everything you have.

Big_oll Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 To be honest i would rather look effortless in everything than struggle to go that bit bigger. I just try to progress effortlessly, getting that little bit higher absolutely dialed everytime. i find it much more fun riding and it looks a million times better.

Tomm Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 I didn't ride for around a month, because of exams and stuff, and I went out riding as soon as I finished. The first decent-sized wall I tried to backwheel, I absolutely breezed up. No idea how. 4 weeks ago, I probably wouldn't have made it, and I did it first time. Having said that, it wasn't a massively high wall (My ups are shit). I'd say a smidge under 3'. However, not bad for me :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
