I can guarantee u that u will progress very quickly with our help, i have only been riding two months and i'm side hopping up 30",,, i find that its not the weight that holds me back, all u need is practice, maybe build an assault course in your garden or some were.? the best thing to do if you want to progress quick is to ride with other people. A good web site to learn to do some 'Trials Techniques' as they have got some videos to go with the explanation.-Trials explained Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_ Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 (edited) hey buddy. It wont be long before you can "bounce on the back wheel" (backhop, shifty, crank hop, pedal kick.) there are loads of different names for that. Good to see you are really dedicated to the sport . As others have said it really is just practise practise practise.If you are finding your grips painful there are a few things you can do.you could wear gloves.you could just put up with it and allow huge calluses to appear on your hands.or you could get some foam grips (or roadie tape)I'm not to sure about the tape (electrical or gaffer) idea as I imagine it would get really slippy when wet (with sweat or rain) anyway just go have fun on your bike.
