Mr Bob Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) about a yearI've been riding for about a year and I still can't manage them. I'm just about getting onto the back wheel but I never really tried it until about a month ago.Then again, I've only just sorted myself out with a trials specific bike in the last few weeks...stick with it, look how good ali is now.I learnt them on a saracen mad 2 h Lol, i learnt all the basics first really but took me a while Edited November 28, 2009 by Mr Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottTrials Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Took me about 2 weeks after getting back into trials properly (on a 05 ZOO! Pitbull (damn I miss that bike)) as I sold my koxx djinn after a month but i was wheely dropping 4ft (I was so proud of myself (aged 13)). But the key is just keep practicing, its the only way to really get anywhere in a sport this physically demanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty-james Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Couple of days, baring in mind i already did motorbike trials, it made it easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 A few weeks, might've been a month. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/wiki/Pedal-kick That is all you need to learn them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris4stars Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I remember the day! october last year... actually deciding to learn the pedal kick, about 20mins on my trusty stinky to get 3/4 strung small ones together... i could already wheelie though as long as i liked and could do 4/5 backhops with the trusted endo to rear wheel! so really it wasnt a big step forward when i try to learn something though, i go at it over and over untill i can do it (to an extent) or have made enough progress that a break from it would benefit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Took me around 2 months on a Trek Bruiser DJ frame, 32 tooth chainring and some turd hub. Anyone notice a pattern here? All the "old school" riders seem to have taken forever to learn it, all theses young uns learn pedal kicks in a week or two!!! Shows how far frame geo and components have come along.

Revelation Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 5 months to do one properly. I learned how to do two wheeled pedal kicks before and it took some time. and now I realize I only use rear wheel pedal kicks in my urban riding!

casualjoe Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Tried for months on my Saracen n-zyme, fell off the back LOADS of times due to instant brake slippage. Had a go on some dudes mod, got it in about 30 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialZonn Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) About 2 weeks to learn the technique.In the beginning I couldn't actually calculate where I was going to land...it took me 1 month to learn this and start doing some proper gaps. As for the bike...I started riding trials on a standard mountain bike (ideal boomax) and I couldn't pedalhop on that,only some hops on the rear. When I bought a proper trials bike, it was so much easier! Edited March 22, 2010 by TrialZonn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials Punk Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 By mistake to be honest. No! How long it took you to pedal kick. Not why you were born. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROYston Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 And you have aids. I generally didnt mean to, it was by accident. So i will rephrase: By mistake so 5 secs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
