GooseTrials Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Hi, Posted a message a while back, concerning what bike i should get, either the t-rex spec 1 or the saracen mad 2.six hyd. I'd like to thank everyone for there advice on the matter, and i have since sold my GT i-drive and have purchased the t-rex (from www.tartybikes.co.uk, thanx guys ). Im expecting it next week, so pretty much i was wondering where u should start when it comes to the riding, as ive never really done anything trials orientated, as ive always been hurtling down a hill Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanx alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil H Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Dont waste your time jsut standing there trying to do track stands its boring. Get out as much as you can. If you are starting mega basic then - get endos sorted, try doing an endo then coming back onto the back wheel, back wheel hops and pivoting on the front wheel and back wheel. Its what I started with Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrBENN Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Get out as much as possible and learn how to hop becasue once you have got that mastered you can drop and do all sorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
