MesaMan Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Hi guys, first post so sorry if it's in the wrong place etc, Anyways, been out learning trials and can do a pretty decent trackstand and am trying to get some decent pivots down. When poping my front wheel around I find in much easier without the (rear) brake on, I kinda seem to be using a little pedal stroke too. Now all the stuff I read says keep back brake on - for obvious reasons - but is it ok to learn the way I am, until I get better and can lock the rear brake, or is this learning poor form and it will be harder to "unlearn" it later on? Also I guess this goes without saying but I should be learning clockwise and anti-clockwise? I just find it much easier one way! Thanks for any advice, it's hard when learning on your own.

Siders77 Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 I would say it's easier to start learning them again but use the back brake too. It's like learning to drive an automatic car if you've got a manual one I suppose. (Y) (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
