T'owd Man

38 in September and have had my T pro for couple of months. Managed 10 consecutive rear wheel hops last night! Ride MTBs and commute on a bike a couple of times a week.

eBay. Picked my Onza T pro up for £50. Be warned though, trials bikes are nothing like MTBs (like doh!)and when I get back on my big bike it feels really odd BUT it is certainly adding to my trail ridding skills. Good fun!

Cheers guys. Like Trash Zen. Lots of good stuff there. My track stands are OK (for a mountain biker!). I am too old to become even a half decent trials rider if for no other reason I don't have enough time to practice. If I can pick up a couple of tricks to make my kids think I am a bit rad then great (they are 5 and 7 but not easily impressed) but more importantly any trials skills I can take to mountain biking would be a real bonus - think Chris Akrigg but nowhere near as good! http://www.chrisakrigg.com/my-videos/ A hill in Spain is mint.

Firstly, as is customary on a first post, Hello to all you good folks out there. I am a mountain biker who felt slightly over biked taking my 6 and 6 MTB down the park with my kids (I'm 37!)so a week later and £50 lighter thanks to Ebay I was the owner of an Onza T pro with worn out tires and a creaking BB. Anyways, I have managed to work out how to rear wheel hop (kinda) and even have a bit of directional control but I am struggling to work out how to do a larger forward leap. I know I have to let the front drop and then do something with the pedals and the brakes and then I suspect something else but I am not sure what order things are meant to happen in. Please help. Next up will be pivot turns on both front and rear wheels.......... Thanks
