Trials Training And Technique

I picked myself up a 2001 Beta rev 3 last week and have been watching a bunch of Australian guys on you tube (brilliant video's) and trying to put what iv seen into pratice. Ill put up a little vid, and would welcome any comments. I have no rear brake pedal st the moment, but hope to get one sorted next week. Shay

interested to hear what you think of this,is this the best way to get up this size of step ? is this good for bigger steps ? he is 10 years old and doesn`t have much weight to transfer !

can any one tell me some tips on getting the rear wheel high enough on a jap zap i am struggling because i don't way enough to compress the forks but i don't want to change them any tips on how to do them or how to get the wheel higher thanks frazer (all ready watched ryan young got the video)

Thought I would wait until everyone had left work then have a practice.

Hello, I'm from Belgium and would like to come to UK to improve my driving skills. What is the most southerly trial school in the UK? I only know inch perfect. I would like to do a 2 or 3-day course. Greathings, Luc

i only have one place to practise thats at croft woods darlington ???????????????

It may seem daft but can anyone tell me when i should get a new rear tyre? My current one is still full depth on the tread but is rounded on the leading edge, not all the way though. Should i buy a new one or turn it around? Will it make a difference,i know on an old motocross i had, i did this and it improved but does it matter for trials? Hope to hear from someone[ ive never used a forum before] cheers phill....

Throughout this and other threads there are innumerable discussions about various techniques and manoeuvres that digress into discussion/argument about exactly what's what, sometimes degenerating into completely unnecessary vitriol, or sometimes just becoming a confusing mismatch of terminology. I haven't found any definitive "Trials Dictionary" either here or elsewhere online. Perhaps a sticky could be put here with broadly agreed definitions of eg. Roll-up Double Blip Zap Splatter etc Each should have all the commonly used terms worldwide (or at least in the english language as that's the default here) ie Zap, Jap Zap, Zap Zap …

having trouble when doing a wheelie i cant cover the rear brake,it seems the brake sits higher than the footpeg so i cant get my foot onto the brake while my foot is on the peg,try putting your foot on the ground while sitting on a chair and lifting your toes off the flloor with your heel on the ground really hard to do then imagine wearing boots near impossible,how do you guys do it,ithought i could adjust brake pedal but dont think i can. bike is a gas gas 270 txt

I thought the slo-mo of this was really useful to see just how the rider moves his body. https://amp.twimg.com/v/e9e71a02-9a17-43e4-8e6a-96b4939839ab

Hello, I have actually no more trial bike, and I find this trial game quite realistic, and you ? (free and unlimited demo version is availlable here) There is tutorials about trials techniques for this game here. It can maybe be used to learn trials techniques without pain ? (sorry for my english, I'm french)

Hello. I Just start to jap zap. I want explain what Is for me because I saw that someone call It in a different way: it's when I hit whit front wheel the obstacle, and just After I Quick release clutch ans gas and Jump with bike ans body. The rear wheel it's suppose to hit where the front wheel hit. Now the question is: I saw some video and see two distinct technique in order to have the same final result: the rear wheel Jump from the ground. The difference it's not in the mocement but clutch and trhottle. The First it's like a double blip, and the steps seem to be 1) put the Wheele relasing the clutch and off gas 2) hit the nbstacle …

If your trying to move an old truck up a hill in the snow do you dump the clutch and gas it up? Trials is the same way, you need to learn the clutch it keeps you out of trouble and gets you traction. On hill climbs it keeps the front end from coming up keeps that back tire from spinning out and if you can't make it up the hill it becomes your brakes.

im having problems with downhill logs and rocks,just dont feel right when i hear the skid plate bash,any tips or vids?

I found this guide really useful when learning to ride and I still do......pity I havent managed to learn them all yet. http://trialstrainingcenter.com/html/how_to_ride.html Hope this helps!

Recently as my riding has progressed I have started learning front wheel hops and static balance, but no matter how hard I try I just cant get the rear wheel off the ground, or even lift it trying to do an endo with alot of front brake, the front brakes powerful and im throwing my weight forward, but can only get maybe a couple centimeters off the ground. Any help would be much appreciated.

hi every1 im just about to do a oil change but i dont no what oil to use to replace the old ive got a gas gas txt pro 280cc 2005 also is there anything else you would reccomend to do while im changing it? eg new spark plugs,air filter etc cheers for any replys andy

I'm struggling with anything bigger than something I can just push my front wheel out a bit to keep from bottoming. If I try to wheelie off, I often get too much speed and need more run-out than I'd like to slow down after I hit. I seldom get it right, but when I do, I feel like the front wheel is pretty high and I drop straight down and stop, but I can't get it consistently. Any tips?
