DangerousDave Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Here's some clips that I filmed a few months back. I haven't really been riding trials since October and have gone back to mountain biking, but I do still enjoy riding trialsy lines out on the trails. If you get bored, skip to 2:10 because the last line is pretty cool if I do say so myself 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Nice work dude Fair play for blowing almost every other "trials rider on a mountain bike" video out of the water too. Big moves, smooth, nice style - all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daviesdt Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I can never quite manage to do much trialsey stuff on my full suss, the shocks just rob all movement out of the bike. What do you do in terms of compression and rebound damping? Do you have high compression damping and fast rebound? Presume tyre pressure is up high too?

bikeperson45 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 I've wanted to get a full sus from watching more trials videos now than mountain biking videos... Awesome riding though, that last tap was worthy of that many different shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUNTMAN TERRY Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Really enjoyed this, that roll down from the big log was always going to end bad but i was willing it to work... next time? Also that last move... wow, you sent that up so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I physically couldn't get any further back, although my fork compresses quite a bit in the shot, so I could potentially make it with my fork locked out.

My suspension setup is VERY soft compared to most riders and I don't bother making any adjustments when I'm doing trialsy stuff. You get used to it eventually. I found it really difficult at first and had a hard time even pivoting the back end around, but it becomes more natural the more I ride my mtb. It's just getting the timing right so you move with the suspension instead of against it. It's still far from ideal, but it's fine for messing around when you see a cool trials line along the trail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daviesdt Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 So, just more time on the mtb doing trials stuff and dont fight the bike. Makes sense i guess. Nice one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pít Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 The first run-up was pretty cool and smooth, i couldnt do it even on my pogostick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
