fyfey Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 A few basic moves to learn which will be vital are:Trackstand - Balancing on the bike while not moving (keeping shoulders in line with the bars and turning wheel to the side helps)Rocking - Both brakes on, just rocking onto each wheel in turn, transfering your weight back and forward (only needs to be small amounts)Hopping - While still, hop with both wheels at the same time and land. Try with brakes onProbably not explained too well but I've found that is what you need for just moving about in a controlled way. Im sure people will post some other vital things to learn!

trialsboy_06 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 hi there mate welcome to the world of trials biking.. what you need to learn first is how to balance on your bike and where the balance point is, and then once you have learnt this then you need to master the forward hop. Then once you have got that, then all you need to do is start to try gaps not to big to start with and then work your way up to the big sturth. Also you could start to some drops if you wanted to. Like i said once you have got the forward hop then your away. good luck in trials biking.later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onza-Trials Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 i would reccomend just trying to keep your balance on the edge of a curb, then start to try hoping fowards when you progress a bit further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
