Conor the basher. Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 practice...thats what every 1 will tell you lolxnot amazingly help full, Maby try track stands and just seeing how long you can stay on the backwheel for without hopping, or even try riding along thin beams so you can improve your balance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Try riding thin/small things and doing track standing. But in the end its just down to keep on practicing and it will jusr come to you as you get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txt2007 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Get yourself a pogo stick, sounds silly i know but its great for balance everything else comes with practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I think when it comes to balance you can't actually learn it. It's more like just get on with riding and have some fun. Give it a year of every day riding and your'll be trackstanding brakless on flat no problem, or at least almost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Usually people who don't have much control are tense when riding. If you've been riding trials for quite a while now and it's not just down to the lack of practice, try chilling out. Ride slowly. When you're lining up for a sidehop relax and do a long trackstand before and after you get up the wall. Eliminate unnecessary correction hops. Concentrate more on your muscles and body movement rather than on pulling the move itself. Kinda hard to explain, hope you get what I mean.

ZHI_Chris Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Don't worry too much about that.You have just built up the new frame. It takes time to get used to the frame. In addition, long frame seems a bit difficult to control than short one.So keep practising, you will be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 ride in strong wind stay away from big gaps, lots of roley/static stuff, just trot around on the back wheel, roll instead of pedalhop [keep to backwheel, just loose the jump] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
