Gaz96 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I was wandering if anyone had any tips for riding on something skinny, just now i can barely ride a raised kerb. Any proper techniques? What about pedaling techniques? Whenever i try full revolutions of the cranks i lose balance, should i stick to quarter pedal strokes? Any help would be great!

dannytrialskid Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yes, quarter pedal strokes are better as they prevent you from loosing balance as much. They also give you enough time to get your balance, and your feet are in the right position if you fall off or want to drop off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz96 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Thanks should i start with my good foot at like 12 oclock and move it to 3 oclock or from 3 to 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stya_bear Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 small stabs of the pedals will get u rolling and keep your pace up, don't try to over think it or it will seem a lot harder than it is. If you use the whole video by Ryan Leech - Art of Trials (on vimeo) it has most of your questions answered. Theses little questions etc only hamper your efforts for being validated - just saying.
