Ben Beckett Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 sweet mate, you will find that over time, riding for a few months your confidence gets better and you will do bigger and higher drops without waiting around on the top. i remember wen i hadn't ridden for very long and i was really scared of doing drops about 6 foot, it would have taken me 10 or so mins of waiting around on top till i tried it, but now i am so much more confident i don't even think about it i just do it, for example bus stops, huge blocks/walls and crates etc. keep trying the same tricks a few times before you move up in height and you should find it easier due to you having more confidence!! good luck with your riding i wish you all the best mate!!!

spode@thinkbikes Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I remember when I started, there was a platform that was no more than 1foot high, if not less. And I was petrified of riding off it. It takes time! I'm still a complete pussy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kid creole Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 does anybody have any tips for staying up on your back wheel when trials hopping???yeah bend your arms and legs so the bike comes under you more opposed to to keeping your arms straight and leaning back to counterbalence the bikes weight , bending gives you more control and allows you to make small hopes up to a ledge before you drop.most of all it just takes practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
