trials on an old beta

Featured Replies

Is this a joke posting? All I could see is someone stationary balancing on a trials bike. How on earth can anyone suggest what to practice based on seeing that?

Try turning the wheel to the right and once you are better try straight. Once you can get past 20 minutes you will be ready for some :chairfall: advanced moves. First learn to walk up to standing on the seat. Next would be walking over the bars to the front axle for a place for your feet and back to the pegs again. Once you have mastered these there is only doing a head stand on the seat for something more exciting. Some say these are worthless skills, but those people are the one`s that ride no stop events only.

ignore the nasty people in the above posts, i can see you have some balance.

its a start but there aint much to be learnt with the engine off.

find some obstacles, ride over them, enter a trial, see what you need to practice when the results come out, any section with a lot of 5's next to it needs practice.

You MUST first learn that all trials related videos need to have an AC-DC track on them. It's the law :P

As for not moving, the previous comments posted have obviously missed the fact that it's an old Beta and they should know that old Betas don't run. Everyone needs to start somewhere though but to progress to moving forward while keeping your feet on the pegs I'd suggest buying a GasGas and perhaps asking someone other than a chair to hold the video camera?

All things aside, you're doing really well. Looking forward to the next video, keep up the practice.

GJ :wacko:

Stick with the tr34 the biggest regret i had was selling mine, keep up the good work :thumbup:

Paul looks like maybe you should watch what balance does.

You can track stand longer than me, enjoy yourself thats alot of skill to be learnt balancing without the engine running and you can do that without winding your neighbours up.

Enjoy

By the way I thought it was great. I was just saying to mix up your practice. Don`t just favor one side, same when the bike is running. Don`t just practice your good side. Better to practice the weak points. And balacing alone all week is how I started, had to wait for sunday to go riding!

thanks thats exactly wat i do

well i can do that for about 10 seconds so your doing better than me

Now put your toes between the(opposite) spokes of the front while sitting and you can rock the bike under you like a baby, hands free!

Neat trick! Don't take long to pick it up either! :thumbup:
