Krisboats Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Take your time a bit, you seem as though you rush into doing everything. Just do a bit of it, then pause for a second then do the next bit... it'll make you look more controlled.I also reckon you could get an extra foot at least on your rolling gaps if you'd only pull the bars into your hips more in mid air, this way you would gain more distance by being able to stretch the bike out further. Just try bigger things really, it also looks like your brake was slipping a bit in a couple of the clips so maybe try some better pads or a grind.

medwaytrials Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Good video. As you are a beginer and are picking stuff up quickly you should film bits over time, say 3 months and then you will end up with a video that shows you improving from start to finish. I wish I had done that.Oh, and that song rules. no cigar by millencolin if anyone likes it as much as I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials Dave Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 hey watched your video. good choice of music by the way i would say take your time on the backwheel more. dont hop as quickly. it will make you look more in control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavyn. Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 when you get to bach wheel and your about to gap or whatever try not taking loads of little hops ,just take one bigger hop or do a pedal brake roll thing this will make you look and feel loads smoother.

Jeza Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I think after watching your video your to rigid and need to relax more and you bike seems really short for you other than that its all about practice keep at it and you will improve at your own natural level.
