Just use a small fanny pack. Also a good place for a bottle of water. I usually use a small one, but also have ready a large one prepped to go!
-
It`s all about timing. In the second example you are using the bike to get the rear suspension to work. You can do it the same with the first example, but the timing has to be more precise and you actually have to use your legs, or hit the log lower.
-
Bou`s also tough as nails. In Tennessee last year he crashed hard on a rock he had ridden in the past. (The no-stop rule made this section way harder than before)He landed his back on a pointy boulder. I assumed they would cart him off as it was a terrible blow. It took about ten-fifteen minutes, but his minders helped him back up and got him going. He had trouble in that section all weekend.
-
Time is the only way to beat Bou. He`s still got another 5 years in him. So the up and coming thirteen year olds is where to find the one that can beat Bou.
-
We`ve probably have 4000 active riders. But at least 20 times that as far as trials bike ownership. A funnier comparison is we have about 120 in my state, and we are larger land wise than the UK.
-
So if the plug is too wet it will not spark. In that case it is flooded on the lower end and needs cleared out.
-
You can always buy a 125 and make it a 225 if more power is needed.
-
Buy by condition, not by model or make. A well used bike can just bring another`s troubles. Having the Raga is cool, but not necessarily better than the standard model for the average rider. The later year Gassers have had better reliability than the past. But still have the same flaws.

Try a few sites in Japan. They are the only ones that ride that thing!

People who ride trials bikes or just compete. Huge difference.
-
Is the plug wet with fuel, or you could put a little premix in the plug hole to bypass the carb.
-
Compression, spark and fuel is all you really need. Does the slide close all the way? (I have seen them in backwards)
-
No, it should work. Did the bike run before the rebuild?
-
Those rocks are spaced just right to make a crazy long sections of good tight turns. Learning the cool tricks are good, but learning to turn correctly is the key to trials. All the good riders can ride incredible huge rocks, but the only way to get points out of them is technical turns.
-
Did you turn off the gas when parked? I would say you wet the plug.
-
UK all the way. More riders, more events. But the USA has the best riding!
-
When you compress the bars(Forks) the bars should be turns slightly in the direction of the turn as well as your shoulders, When the rear suspension starts coming up to move your hips and legs into the direction you are going.

Find a very small ledge to come off of, or a small rock to kick off. I actually learned by riding off a curb at work during my lunch breaks. Took several weeks or more to get good at it.
-
Smaller for the main, bigger for pilot. Actually has to do with atmospheric pressure. Take a trip to Colorado or New Mexico and ask what people run. Or if you ever make it to a National Look up Dale M. the Gas Gas Importer and he will give the same info.
-
We run at 5500ft. At sea level they run a 36. You need a 38 and maybe the 115.
-
Since the bike is down and have plenty of time. Read up on the finger height and clutch pack measurement. Also many swear by the Beta clutch fix. There also several videos out on this subject. Before anything the finger height has to be with in specs.
-
You still need the bigger pilot.
-
You need a 38 pilot and a 115.
-
Actually a complete newbie just needs any cheap bike. Be it a twin shock or a water pumper. People either fall head over heals for trials or hate it. Those that love it will upgrade to a newer bike right away. The haters think it is a silly sport because they found out it is hard. (And they look a fool). It`s a great fun sport as long as you stay with in your real abilities. Beginners or Experts, most just grin riding all day long.

Thanks. I needed something new to try. Six years and slowly getting better.
