Watch the rides/locations section and try get out on a group ride in your area. Everyone is dead friendly, and you'll learn 10x faster with other experienced riders around you to guide you. You can then meet people who ride local to you and get a few riding buddies, who'll guide you along. Most of trials is so hard to put into words, you'll be surprised how quick you learn with guidance from others. Oh, and curbs are your friends. I think everyone learns on a curb, and things develop from there...
