weewillywinky Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 hello there, i've been riding for about a year with a bit of on off times. as you can probably guess it doesn't take a year to learn to track stand or forward hop. my question is where can i go with trials next, i can do most of the basics and i want to make my riding more street like maybe even to the extent of having steve hamilton as an example. i can wall ride, 180, front tap things, a silly trick i learnt off jono, and a few other things. i still ride trials but it is getting a little boring for me lately, i'm not finding as much fun in it as i use to, i'm not a big gap sought of person i prefer riding smooth and making it interesting by throwing in a few things here and there. can any one give me any tricks as you may call them to take it to the next level. maybe information how to do 360's or bars spins and crank flips. i'm quite aware of web sites like trashzen but they don't seem to help me much. i'm also looking to from coming away from 20" and going into 24" which will please/displease some people. cheers in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawrence osborn Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 What me and my mates had when we learnt all of that was smoothest drop competitions what we would do is get someone to sit near the a drop (they was the judge) and who ever lands it the smoothest wins, and the you go and find a higher one and do that. As well as having allot of fun it also improves your dropping technique! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Hey i did a post like this use trashzen even though you said it , its the best thingWillwww.trashzen.comThat was damn useful...24" is definatly the way to go for street. I bet your riding style will instantly change by riding one even without any tips/ tuition. I can't give you advice on 360s, but barspins are virtually impossible with bars that are good for trials. Wear shinpads when learning crankflips, can turn into a red sticky mess very quickly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will find that pumping your tires up a bit will make streety stuff easier, try around 30 psi.also go to http://www.26twenty.com and download some of the vids, they is a really streety mod rider on there.go have fun.
