Hi there, I was wondering if any of you know how to spin your bike around. Like when you swing the back around and then the front. I have difficulty lifting my bike around is there an easy method of doing this or is there a video clip that you know of that will show me how to do this? Many Thanks Danny.

I was out at the weekend just generally mincing around and started to try and tackle a small rock on a flat surface. I was trying a small wheelie over it. A guy who had been watching me came over to offer some advice. He said I need to give it a 'blip' and not wanting to sound like an idiot I just agreed. He then pointed to a small step up and said that I could tackle that with a 'double blip'. So when he said blip, is that just a bit of throttle to get the wheel up, then shut off and role over the rock? Or wheel up and shut off when over the rock? Not sure of the correct technique. Thanks

When turning to the left, full lock or close to it, what do you do with your right foot? Assuming the knee is way out as I have been taught it should be, where is the foot? Real question I'm getting to is, is the foot still in position on the rear brake or not? Or depends? Any experienced riders have some insight? I have tried to get that knee way out and still have the foot close to the brake but it's hella tricky.

Hi all I attended a Graham Jarvis training day on sat at Tong Yorkshire. Both the venue and the training were Great. Graham is real nice guy, very good at giving good clear instruction to both begineers like me and the more experianced riders. I would highly recommend to all. I asked if he would run a day at whitworth, Back cowm Quarry. He agreed in principle as long as the demand was there. I need 10 people to attend @

Hi, I get lower back pain when doing long distance trials over moorland. A friend said that the getting the raised fatbar clamps can help this. If this is true wich are the best ones to get ? I have entered the scott this year so I am trying to be as fit as possible, this is my main problem so if you could help that would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I recently bought a 2009 gas gas 125, one of my friends also has the same bike. After riding a trial, I had a go on his bike which had much softer suspension, and was a lot easier to hop/endo, my suspension settings have not been changed. I was just wondering how to change my settings to be softer as the gas gas manual does not explain how to do it clearly? Many thanks, nick

Men's training day at Bracken Rocks on Saturday 21st March 2009 10am - 4pm with A.C.U qualified coaches.

The japzap works well for medium height steps but at what height step would you need to use a different technique like a splat? I know there are different variables but lets say good traction and a plain vertical step. What height requires a splat? Im far from ready to attempt a splat but I would like to know what height to work towards using a japzap before I need to focus on a new technique.

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?

Wow, what an excellent day!! This to say thanks to the good folk of ESTC The instructors Luke and Neil had boundless energy and enthusiasm. As a beginner and a wizened old dwarf I assumed I was letting myself in for a very humiliating day – but not so. Despite being the duffer of the easy route group I learnt loads – perhaps most importantly is the gain in confidence. Also, met some really nice folk – trials appears to full of nice folk doesn’t it It was wonderful value for money as well. For just 20 quid you got some of the best instruction in the UK on a great site – how good is that. Definitely coming back for more………

I have a club member in Newcastle Upon Tyne who would like to know where there is to practice and where he and his son can get some trials training. Any help would be most welcome.

Does anyone have a recommendation for forearm protection? I use standard elbow/ forearm guards and even kid sized guards. They tend to slide down towards my wrist and can be hot in summer. I don't really need the elbow protection but do tend to land on my forearms. This happens when falling in a section and when getting spit off the front on a quick trail.

Hi all, Just reading about this weekends world round in the amazing setting of the Nevis range, There is a slot on the Saturday that says a Steve saunders trials training session for 2 hours, can someone explain in more detail what this might be? And is it for the public? Looking forward to it now, both days are looking pretty action packed! See you all in fort bill......

So I've been working on learning as much as I can as fast as I can. Its actually been going a lot better than I thought. I can balance about 50% of the time. My clutch control and throttle control are 4x what it used to be. One think Im still having problems with is timing. Such as loading the suspension and letting out the clutch to lunch the bike. I've been working on small bunny hoops to help this. One on thing that I'm having problems with and always have even on the bigger bike is remembering to cover the break during a wheelie. I really want to use the wheelie to help find that rear glance point. One other thing i've learned is a rear wheel pivot! kind of fun actual…
