trial-biker-ryan Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 i have found some really good tips after looking around on the web for about 3 and a half hours!side hops (up) -- you will first want to determine your "favorable" side of the bike. Typically, most people have one side that they are more comfortable going to. It just takes experimentation to see which one works best for you. Once you've gotten that figured out, you will want to position your bike parallel to the object in question. Then, lean your body towards the back of the bike to help preload your weight transfer and unweight the front wheel, at the same time crank back the pedal in preperation for the pedal kick movement. Then it gets complicated; you will need to do about four things at once. Once you have the weight preload and the pedal crank done, quickly let off the rear brake and pedal, jump up with your body, and shift your body weight to the side you are going to. At the same time you will be pulling up and to the side on the bars. By this time you will (hopefully) be in the air, with your front wheel starting to go over the object. Then you want to bring your legs up as in a bunnyhop to lift the rear up in the air. At this point, you should be fully over the object, at which point you will want to plant the front wheel and let off the front brake, therefore rolling forward a bit and letting the rear wheel touch down. It's simple, huh?hopping to rear wheel from bash gard -This is one of the trials moves that requires a very exaggerated and vigorous movement to pull off. It's hard to do, but with some practice you can eventually get it. The best way to practice this would be to find a bench, low wall or stack of pallets that is high enough that you can rest your bashguard on it. From this position, you need to make a very dramatic upwards movement with your entire body, lifting with your arms at the same time. You practically need to jump off the bike upwards, bringing it with you as you go. When you have gotten far enough of the ground, you push forward with your feet, which swings the rear wheel under you, hopefully right on top of the object you were resting on. It's hard, and it'll just take practice to get it. If you can hop forward well, getting a bike length or more, you will probably have an easier time. Just over-exaggerate everything, doing more than you think is necessaryriding up an object -If you want to get onto an object that is less than a couple feet high (approximately), the easiest and most straightforward way is to just ride up it. For most small objects it won't be necessary to do any kind of hopping, pedal kicking or japslapping.The two things you need to understand to be able to ride up something is using a pedal stroke to help lift the front end (as described in the previous lesson), and shifting your weight. To ride up an object, you'll need to do two steps. First, you will slowly roll towards the object, usually with your bad foot forward (to allow for a half pedal stroke). When you get close to the object (the exact distance will vary depending on the height) you will do your pedal stroke, lean back a bit and get the front wheel high enough to get on top. This is the easy part. The second step is a bit more difficult, and the timing becomes more critical the higher you need to go. What you need to do is quickly shift your weight far forward on the bike, which will unweight the rear wheel. At the same time, your want to pull in your legs a bit, and (similar to a bunnyhop) push the arms and roll the wrists to help rotate the rear end up. The idea here is to do these motions fast enough that you do not catch your bashguard on the object. Some people find that quickly locking the front brake, just for a second, allows them to do a small endo to help lift the rear wheel.As the object gets higher, the time you have to do the motions decreases, so practice doing both steps in rapid succession. Roll, pedal, lift, shift. Once you have mastered this skill, it is possible to smoothly roll up things even handlebar highhope this helps.....tell me what you think. it took me long enough to find.

Krisboats Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 (edited) www.trashzen.com i never snapped my frame, i just could'nt think of a signiture so i made that up!glad my tip's helped. makes looking around on a damb comp for 3 and a half ours worth it!Three and a half minutes more like. Go on google and type in "trials techniques"... You get a how to guide as the first result!!! Further down results number 8 or 9 is a trials dictionary listing pretty much all the moves used in trials.Type in "trials biking tricks" on google and you get the trials online place again and under that is a list of trials websites at totalbike.com it even has a brief description next to each site and takes like a minute to find both the trials online place AGAIN!! and it also has the legendary trashzen.Typing in "trials biking moves" on google gets... yes you guessed it Trials online again as the second and third results and trashzen is result number 6.I just don't get how some people just can't use a search engine to save their life. I guarantee this post did not take me 3 and a half hours and i found loads more information than you posted up despite how helpful you were trying to be.P.S. Use the spellchecker when you make a post, its horrible having to read that poor excuse for writing.

MSM Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 If you are copying text directly from another website, you could well be infringing someone's copyright. The least you should do, purely out of courtesy, is include a link to the source website. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find all the other explanations on the trials online site.And to Hezz0l, he copied and pasted it from another site, he didn't even write it himself, then to top it off whinged about it taking him soooo long to find when it was one of the top results for every search i tried. Then he said he's glad his tips helped... They're not even his tips! And i'm pretty sure that MSM is completely right by saying that copying the guides without posting a link to the authors site or stating the author in any way is against the copyrights act but i don't know whether the other person has to get the original material copyrighted first .
