I came across a Danny mac video on you tube and after watching them over and over again i thought id like to give that ago, and mate of my bro hade a onza t-comp for sale which needed a new rear brake lever and i brought it for £80 of him. Only been trying it for a few mth on and of so along way to go....

its just outside portsmouth between cosham and portchester. I only know one guy whos good on a bike who has showed me a few things but hes gone over to bmx. So im learning on my own now..

i live in paulsgrove, iv only just started, well about 3mth on and of when i can. But at 31 i think i may of left it to long to learn...

Im in the same position as you and i think thats what happens to start with (bounce backwards). where in hampshire are you??

Good evening people, just a quick update. Havent been on bike for over a week and this morning i had to sort out the rear hub as the bearings had gone, took bike outside to try it out and first pedal up it went straight up on back wheel and managed to do around 10 hops pretty easy, and though out the day have manged to do quite a few so think iv nearly got it sussed. ganna give it a week or to then start on the pedal kicks... cheers all

just been out for about half hour and tryed giving it another go. Iv been using the pedal to get the bike up and have had my good foot just infront of vertical, today i tryed it with my good foot between vertical and horizontal and it seems to go up better and i can stay stood on back wheel longer and even managed quite a few hops. The only thing now is the crank rachets back so got to get the timing right now with letting go of the back brake to put it back level. If i can il try get a video up so people can give me a few more hint...

Cheers pkb4112 for the video u posted. Its not far of what im at, can get it up and manage a few hops but not as consistent as you..

Can anyone tell me which one is the best to ride, mod or stock? and what are the difference in riding between the two? cheers justin..

Il have to give that ago, not sure if i hold both or not...

Yeah thats it, just what mines doing. And every now and again i get a bang/crunch when i put weight on pedal when i pedal of..

Im on a mod bike, tried the rocking back and forth but couldnt do it. Find it easy to get bike up, its just tryung to find balance point. Iv found that when bike goes up if i lean back slightly and push bike away from me i seem to stay up for abit longer but i seem to lean to the right and fall off..

Iv been trying now for over 4 weeks to try and get bike up on back wheel and hop but just cant do it . I can get it up on back wheel with a kick of the pedal but cant stay up, iv got it up once about a week ago and managed 6 hops but nothing since. Please help me .. cheers juz

I noticed the other day that my freewheel was moving side to side when i turn the pedals and in turn the chain goes loss then tight. Is this normal or it their something wrong with the freewheel or something else?? cheers juz

Nice one Alex, look forward to it,,,

hello Alex, if your bored you could give me help with hopping on back wheel. I only started about 3 weeks ago, i can sort of hop with a pedal kick sort of just not got the back brake bit sorted yet. But just hopping i am struggling with, body postion help with balance etc. Any help would be spot on as iv been watchin videos on you tube but everything happens to quick to see what they are doin.. cheers justin

cheers all for the advice, his bday isnt until october so got abit of time to look round..

yeah that looks good, bit pricey though. Will have to keep an eye out for a second hand one cheers mate.#

My nephew wants to get into trial biking and im thinking of getting him one for his 10th bday, can anyone recommended a bike suitable for a 10 yr old to learn on. Hes had ago on my 20" onza but it just seems abit big for him.. cheers..

Iv only been riding for a few weeks now and was trying to find which was my dominant foot which i thought would be my right foot as thats what i play football with, and as said above when in the sprint start position my right foot is forward. But when doing pedal ups i cant doit with my right foot, it just doesnt feel strong enough to get bike up and i feel really comfortable doing it with my left foot..

Im 31 from portsmouth and have only been at it for just over a week, still trying to hop on back wheel but my balance is crap. Thought i was to old to be starting trial biking but looking on here im not so il keep at it i think..
