Gibbo3771 Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Hi guys, I finally managed to get a bike after looking around for a while. I couldn't sell one of my MTB's so traded it for an Inspired Fourplay frameset with nice wheels and okish stylo cranks. I am currently waiting for Hope brakes and cranks to arrive and I am considering buying a camera (maybe a GoPro, not sure yet) to record my progress. I have NEVER ridden a trials bike, I have not even ridden the one I have bought yet because the brakes were so god damn awful on it. Would anyone be interested in viewing such a video? They would go as follows: Pick a technique (in this example lets just say rear wheel hops, that seems popular) Take the bike out, setup a camera Practice in front of camera until I nail it Stitch the many hoursdays/weeks/months/years of footage together, cutting away useless segments and making it a time lapse Post it There will not be a whole lot of talking, mostly just me failing over and over and over again and again and again. Seems like a neat way to document progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 If you've got the time and skill to put it together I suppose it'd be worth it. Would be a good reference for new riders especially those who have no trials experience whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may as well document it, since i'll be doing it anyway. I shall report back in a few weeks haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm old, and so far only riding in my garage (real winter here!) This is a pretty good beginners real wheel hop instruction video: So far I'm only using the box method...

bikeperson45 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 It's kind of cool, kind of suffers from the 'people want to watch things done well' aspect though. Saying that, I used to watch this guy's videos as soon as they came out as I started a little after him so it was a great motivation when I didn't have anyone to ride with, think he's up to part 40 or so now over 8 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
