Has anyone seen the video on YouTube of the guy who turns his stem wrong way to learn to manual? Just wondering how you learnt to manual? Would turning the stem the wrong way be an advantage as your weight would be further back and you could find it easyer to get on the back wheel. Or do you think keep it as it is and just keep at it?

What happened to the zhi from eBay. I was lookin at buying that. After reading your posts in glad I never. Shame you did. Makes me wonder why people try it on like that.

Dman nice vid. What music you use in it?

I was trying this. Although before I put my front wheel on a pallet I had a mark on the floor where I would endo and try to hit with my back wheel. I just seemed to rock back down where I started. I think my problem is not getting my weight forward enough during the endo. But the question I have is am I getting my back wheel high enough. I wanted to see how high It was goin so I tried to endo onto pallets. I could manage 3 pallets with the front wheel still on floor. Is this enough height??

Ah nice one. Thanks for the link! I was reading about bunny hopping on here so built myself a little thing ( like what high jumpers use) to practice over. At the start I couldn't even get over 6". By the end I was doin over 12" (3 out of 5 times) so it's defo practice all the way!!! It hurts your muscles when it's been a while. My back muscles and inside my elbow muscles feel well used!

Evening all. Just getting back into trials. I used to ride 26" trials during the Martyn ashton and hawes years. But then got into xc and other forms of racing. All until a year or so ago when I stopped everything. So decided I needed something and picked up a mod trials bike. Only ridden it a few times. Can do a few basics. I'm just after some training moves to do in a small space. I have a garage to practice in on a night. I know I'm not gonna learn loads In there but was just after a few basics I could learn. I can track stand fine. Is there any variations I could maybe do to it? I also read about setting a pallet up and practicing front to back which would be one I'm gonna defo practice in there. Any help much appreciated Cheers.
