New to trials (kinda)

[TrialsBeg84]

i'am kinda new to trials, i have ridden moto trials, and have not competed in any events, i was wondering if their is any way i can get a cheap trials bycycle and maby someone to give me some hints???, i am only 12 and i was wondering if i'am too small for trials, because i have learned that it helps to be light and tall. my uncle rides mototrials on vintage and modern and he can help me with some of the balencing and whellies, i curentlly ride a little 12" mountin bike and can ride a whellie for short distances, and i can stoppie, but i'am still learning if any one has ANY advice for me please tell me!!!!!!!!!!


THANKS!

never too young...but a tip of advice... dont go around here telling people how old you are. practise getting up onto ledges and stuff...try skinnies or just ride a curb as slow as u can. dont get discouraged..trials is effing hard and takes a long time to learn...Welcome to trials...u'll like it here

[Sir_Crackien]

so worked are advise there are some sick people on this site so don't let them taint your mind with bad thoughs

btw well come to bike trials the best sport ever

[TrialsBeg84]

yea soapster887 i know what you are sayin, thanks, yea i can lift the front end up quite a bit and i can stoppie pretty high, but i cant swing the back end around,?? any tips, because when i try it goes around about 20 degrees and thats it i need some help on that, plus i''am realy bad at floaters

[Soapster887]

try and go as high as you can on the front wheel...until you are feeling like u will flip off. then turn your feet.

[lowside]

what the hell?aka endo aka grabbing the front brake...i''am realy bad at floatersokay this one im confused about... wtf?

[TrialsBeg84]

yea floaters, when you are paralell with a huge rock and you go up on the front wheel (standing whellie) and turn the bike towards the rock, and go up and over it

[carnagr]

I think he means sidehop, but he said up on front wheel?

[eturt9]

i think its a mototrials sidehop-like move it sounds like.

[sicterallowishus]

trackstand, ride skinnies, get sick on a curb.

trials does not = backhop/lurch


trials=balance

trials is sweet ....glad you found it......have fun learning.

peace out

[TrialsBeg84]

a standing wheelie i mean

Dont try and carry too much moto over to biketrials. Practise riding over small rocks and getting over logs, the same sort of stuff a beginner in moto would ride.

Also concentrate on doing everything slowly.
