mikey23 Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I can't even hold on to the handlebars if i use two fingers, just doesn't work for me. So yeh one finger it is..As people have said, u should really use one finger, same goes for mototrials, one on the clutch, one on the front brake.

spode@thinkbikes Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Is it even possible to DO trials (properly) using anything but your index finger?Learning to use one finger, was one of the first lessons in riding trials for me...

Ghetto Rider Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Everyone uses 1 finger, their index finger, or they should anyway. It gives you more to hold onto the bars with when your doing that scary drop gap off course! 1 finger, index finger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
