*BOOTHY* Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 (edited) HiThe best moves you should start with are balancing, front hops (some people call them different names) this is basically hoping forward on back wheel.

jonny_smith Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 spinning looks quite good, just a bunny hop while twisting then when you've got that dialled, do a 180 endo infront of it and turn it into a 360 do it at traffic lights on the pavement because all the people in the cars turn to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afro dude Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 The first trick i learn was a endo into a backhop.My second trick i done was a side hop up the kerb.The third trick i leart was a drop.The try a forwards hop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 (edited) Aup mateThe first thing to do is when you get your bike is get used to it and then try a do the tricks. but i would thirst start by do a track stand which you do by staying still on your bike and just move the bars to balance your self and then try and do a back hop by endowing and then bouncing on the back wheel, then when you are confident with back hopping put i kick in which will make your bike move forward, but don't worry if you carn't do it first time its is just practise and a lot of it.hope this helps. sam Edited November 29, 2006 by samo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crabeychris Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Im goin to borrow a friends bike which i might buy on saturday and sunday.

trials wannabe Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 just try and start balencing and getting used to hops at the moment and eventually a pedal hop lol harder than it looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterjamesbailey Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 hi mate.I started going forth and back on my weels then i learnt the track stand ,both of these inprove your balence amazingly and set you up for bigger stuff when you get better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan the trials man Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 (edited) i would just start doing bunny hops then try moving on to pedal kicks they are not to hard to learn it took me a day to learn them try all week end and by sunday you should be able to pedal kick up a curb.the trick is kick the drive chain compres your self over the backwheel then realise all of your body that you have comresed forward whilst giving the drive chain a hard kick.over people may do them diffrent like maybey endo into a backhop possition then compess and kick or just lean back compress and kic try diffrent ways ans see what you find more comfty.hope i helpeddanalso spend a hour or so a day practising your strack stands dont spend all day though because they just get borring, they may be borring but they are you most important skill.

bullitt Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 (edited) Just learn to trackstand and rock, once you have your basic balance you find find moves such as backhops and pedal kicks much easier. Hope this helps you and happy riding Edited November 29, 2006 by bullitt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmaker Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 first of all - balance. track stand and pedal kick.it's a base! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 I normally recomend people to start on the trackstand, mainly because it's what i was taught to do first.Because balance is the main point in trials, you'll be suprised how much you'll use it later on.

Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Spinning all ways spinning it easy and looks cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubZero Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Backflip 360° would be a good starter Trick i guess! but for keepin it real, try to find some balance it's allabout it. You will have time enough for cool looking spinsand stuff when you are a real trialsrider! good luck mate! martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridport-Rider-Dave Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Forget about tricks, trials is a sport about balancing once you know how to balance correctly you will know how your bike moves and know how to distrabute your weight around your bike.All tricks revolve around balance and weight distrabution..Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yyyman Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Just learn to trackstand and rock, once you have your basic balance you find find moves such as backhops and pedal kicks much easier.

poopipe Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 as above!i got depressed trying to backhop as a begginer.you were picking stuff up pretty quick once you'd got comfy on the bike from what I remember (got a working mod again btw..)

Heatsink Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Get practising the track-stand! Not only is it really useful as a foundation for your balance, but you are more likely to make real progress with it quicker than other moves. Getting good at that in a variety of situations will serve as a confidence boost as you work on other moves which take more perserverence like the back hop and pedal hop. Took me alot of time to manage pedal hopping, but I kept telling myself that I'd got the backhops dialled and the trackstand too so it was only a matter of sticking at it.Types of trackstands to practise:Front wheel up slope (balancing back and forth using bike weight - pedal pressure)Front wheel down slope (balancing back and forth using front brake to compress front tyre - pull back of bars)Then you can extend the front wheel up a slope to resting the wheel on an obstacle!Also, the Front wheel down a slope (using the tyre compression to boost you backwards) is the starting point for rolling backwards type moves To keep things interesting why not try a whole mix of moves as well like bunny hopping, endoing (leading to rockwalking). There are plenty of moves to keep you from getting bored Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
