Carl Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 I stopped riding from trials about year and half ago to have a break and i just brought my self a brand new monty 219 2007 model and tried to get back into trials, But i've been having problems i thought i would be able to do all normal stuff i could do before before drop off, side hops ect ect but only small stuff, work my way up to big stuff when i got my technech back because i thought i was pretty good before i went on break it would come back to me second nature but i had a quick go on bike after work to day and i can't do anything can't even power hop or balance right has anyone had this problem after they went on a long break and came back into trails?Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_skj0lsvik_ Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Off course you have lost some technique.. All the muscles have had a long break so it's only natural that everything won't be in order right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 When I started back riding after a 2-3 yr gap I started on an older bike, I instantly could do tonnes. When I got my new bike' a few week's later I could still do the stuff, but the bike was a major change in terms of how it felt.I would imagine it's just that your not used to how the bike's are designed at the moment, given monty's havn't changed majorily, but enough for it to make a differance I would say.Stick at it, you WILL improve.

TomR Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Same boat here, although ive got a similar bike setup. I seem to be better and going up stuff and doing drops, but adding stuff together like ups to gaps im awful. Really need to build my strength back up.

Orgun_Donor Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 when i started up again this year after a year of not being able to really walk, i could barely do anything, could bunny hop but pushing a cerb!, all comes back really quickly though, after a couple weeks of riding, youll of forgotten what it was like not to!
