Synergy Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 (edited) a lot of people will just say practice practice practice but there is other things,if your mates are good riders watch how they ride there bikes like when they do a trick look how they lean or what there posture is if that makes sense.practice on curbs sounds stupid but you can do heaps of tricks on them i sometimes ride the curb outside my house just for fun!dont get frustrated with height, going up and down high things takes time learn the basics perfectly first remember you crawled before you walked!

chasthetrialsrider Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Hi marcos so you live in essex where abouts maybe we could hook up at some point for a ride.as for tricks like yoyoyo says try trashzen it give you all the basic ideas and helps you with getting the perfect, the website also has videos of maneuvers and tricks. also try looking through some of the threads on the trials-forum as they can help a lot and I would recommend checking the foot positions thread as this will help you to complete more tricks and give them a bit of style.Importance of foot positionTrashzen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boris_on_trials Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Hi Marcus. Try download some videos and watch what they do don't download any body legendary though like cap because they do things with so little effort its hard to see what they do. I don't know any videos that are good my pc wont download them or it will die hehehehe but if you ask some people i'm sure they will tell you some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty221pr Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 when you begin try to practice a variety of different things as, i know many people who now can only pedal hop and cannot climb/ balance at all so try to practise and not specialize in one aspect of the sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Owen. Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 one big thing i found out was try and do pedal hops SLOW. otherwise you will end up going too fast for your gear (if you get me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 one big thing i found out was try and do pedal hops SLOW. otherwise you will end up going too fast for your gear (if you get me) What do you mean by that? I'm a bit stuck on pedal hops at the minute myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
