4 months of riding, I still suck...

[Muerto]

I've done some progress I'm quite happy with though...

Short and viewable:

Short and... totally lacks quality:
A week or so ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jhz5q8dC9C4

Long and boring, but contains some shitty natty riding:

Stuck at the current level, which sucks, and I can't figure out how to move on... (hence I suck, but only at the mental part - which I've always done, development so far has been decent)

Lookin good for 4 months; remember to get to the edge of what you're dropping off before going.

Don't hate man, we've all been right where you're at.

[Muerto]

Funny thing, I can get just on the edge when doing gaps (unless I'm on a ledge or bench or something) but when dropping of stuff... No way. Just can't. Just going to have to work on it I guess. :P

Thanks for the input! Figured I could learn from having people watch the stuff. Been riding alone for a couple of weeks which sucks and hinders progression, hopefully my riding buddy will get his new bike soon... :x:

You can't say you suck when you're that good. I last one you posted was my favourite. Good rding, and I thought the editing was cool on the "Short and viewable" one.

[chronic]

Alright, no offense. Stop bitching!

Its so annoying when people think they'll just start trials and become a pro in a year.

Your riding looks good. Ride for fun, not what ever you're gunning for.

[zander]

Seriously. You can't say you suck. I totally out-noob your noob video. Your'e making me self conscious.

:)

[StugarTheMighty]

... As if it matters, then I would just suck more. :P


Fuck you. :nuts:

[Muerto]

Haha, didn't know it was such a sensitive subject. Sorry if I offended anyone... I shouldn't have been bitching like I did.. But still... I did.. Let's see if I can still edit...

I know you don't become a pro in a couple of months, I know people who have been riding for 6+ years and are still improving like crazy. Pretty much the beauty of the sport. I guess I'll stop bitching and just go out and ride, and have fun - like I always do. Not riding to become better than anyone, just because in 2005 I watched som trials and spoke to riders and figured it would be fun. Then just didn't get a bike for another 3 years - now, I'm loving it.

[MontyTrialer]

Yeah that was not sucking man. Its a good thing to just ride for fun. I really want to improve fast and become a pro. Its not to much of beating people or ride compititions or look great and to show off. I just want to beat myself and thats it. To have fun and ride everyday. I think that is a great motive and that helped me. Not to care about others and more about me. Still I think that was great riding. Cool to see people do the sport

Lol I had already watched the second two vids after you commented on mine the other day :wiggle: Happy to send you that song from it if you want.

You go alright for 4 months I reckon, give it time tho and keep practicing and every now and then you have a major breakthough and learn a new move or a massive improvement on an old one. Thats the feeling I find so addictive about trials.

Keep it up dude lots of potential there I think.

[Muerto]

jonnyyork: Found them on Myspace so it's allright. Thanks anyway! Australians are producing hella lot of good music these days... :)

MontyTrialer: Yeah, I think it's just about going out and having fun. Having fun is what keeps me motivated. That and watching my friends who have been riding for 5-6+ years...

Nah, really I ride trials just to get chicks... not working well though. Think I need to improve on my sidehops. Then it would all work out. :umno:

Now, time to go ride! Though I think CERN failed, dark as fuck outside... BLACK HOLE!

[spartan1]

dude for 4 months your freaking sick, i wasnt that good until my second year.
Just keep riding and having fun, like i only ride a couple of times a week now but im having so much fun that i dont even care that im not progressing as fast as i was before.
