trials tidbits?

[Disturbed.Rider]

I'm just getting into trials i.e. I just learnt pedal hops and am doing some phat (I think) gaps around the place but I was wondering if there are any little tips that you could share.

The kind of tips that you wish you knew when you were just starting out.




Thanks.

tip 1: log on to the Brisbane forum http://bbtc.proboards40.com/index.cgi? or visit http://www.expressivebikes.com
to find out more about the QLD trials scene.

tip 2: come to the comp at Mt Tamborine this Sunday, the best way to improve is to ride with other trials riders. Otherwise try and get out for a street ride with some of the local Brisbane lads.

a) body language
b) commitment
c) Do what Tim said, getting along with other riders is the way

Thanks for that, What are the requirements for competing? (I cant come cause I'm going ot be away at the coast...)

I got onto trashzen and t forced me to just use a crap load more ody language and now I can go about twice as big as I could before.


Thanks again.

To compete you need:

1) A bike
2) A helmet
3) About $25 (less if you have an MTBA licence)

Shame you can't make it this weekend. Keep checking the website and hopefully you can make it out early 2007.

Or simply tag along with our weekly rides either the Gold Coast or Brisbane!

You can find info about this on the Expressivebikes.com forum, the sticky thread in the organise rides (better call or txt us or so)
