Practice Tips For The Beginner?

[Chappie]

Hi,

I used to ride my bike a fair bit a few years ago until i went to uni. Ive just decided to take it back up again but im pretty g#sh at the moment. Can anyone point me in the way of some good practice tips to get me going again?

Cheers

PS ill have my bike down in Edinburgh in the new year if anyone needs somebody to ride with.

i was one of the lucky ones, stopped riding completely for bowt 2 years or more. buy a bike, emediately able to pedal hop backwheel etc. just takes time to get balance and loose the sketchyness. Best advice is practice small, get all of ur skill back before you go big.

Try to ride with others who are more skilled than you .

Yeah, i found i could stil backhop, side hop etc. Balance was a bit off though Think ill potter about on it over the christmas period then take it down to edinburgh and see if i can find some riders!

Also try not rely on big events to ride or whatever. If you have a free hour or so on tap, then go ride and say just practise one or two moves.

Thats what i've started doing and its helping out, in more ways than 1, as its good for motivation building and also good for fitness too and obviously help build up skills.
