It may take some time from the start. But once you learn to hop on the back wheel and things, then you can start doing drop and so on. Just get out everyday or most days and practice practice practice. If you put the time in it you can progress. Learn by watching other riders videos, or even other riders in your area, and if your unsure, ask them to teach you ( if there nice enough ) As Horndean Trials said. Visit www.trashzen.com you can learn how to do some basic moves to get you started. Remember you cant run before you can walk so just start out simple and you will be on your way. Just practice and you should have it in no time. Im from Southend too..well close. I don't ride anymore but if i come out to take photos and things. I would kindly lend a hand helping you. Ben
