Karl Butcher Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I would like to think im smooth and flowlythe best way to balance is by using old train track rails they are always good to play on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Anscombe Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 i like to try and be smooth and style-ish.......but the tgs man inside comes out from time to time :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger allen echo Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Im kinda smooth, but not much. Every time i go out riding i try and do something bigger than i did before. To get better balance on both wheels and on the rear just do trackstands and to try and stay in the same place when your on the ack wheel.Ginger Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jitters Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 As I learn and progress with something I get smoother. Kinda thrash and flail about up to that point until it gets nailed. Am kinda new to trials so can't do any big stuff yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phobia Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 unfortunatly there isnt any train tracks around here, well there is but i dont fancy running when a train comes, ill try the track stands i agree with getting bigger each ride that is always satisfying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Banks Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Quite simply my riding is sketchy. I'd like to be smooth and flowey though As for your trackstands, try doing them on a ever so slight incline, helps a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Shields Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 i personally prefer the smooth, yet big style as i say when im out 'comp it!' i watch comp videos and find their positioning and balance awesome, i try to combine TGS with smooth moves and smooth sidehops ect, this way my frame doesn't take a beating and i improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willis-gu Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 When i started riding, i did not no what smooth was, i just tried to go big! However after getting the big moves conqured i try now to be as smooth as possible, while still going big. Sam oliver is the man to watch for that! I find when riding natural, you need to be as smooth as possible, helps alot and on street.willis x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottcj9 Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 TGS basher! +1 i try to be smooth and add lines to my riding, and when i watch my finished video i find it is very TGS and not particularly smooth.I find though as i improve i learn to ride a bit smoother so just keep practising and improving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
