some footage of me down the woods having a little play. hills are far bigger than they look on camera! only just learnt to hop around etc so not particulary good. i think its quite cool to see all the suspension moving and technique in the slow motion shots . does not look it but the ground was wet that day haha. any tips on what i can improve on? am i riding alright? cheers ( 14 btw )

Go Ben!

The only tip I can give ya mate... don't let the babes cause you to stray from trials!!! Remember its Trials and Girls not Girls and Trials!!

Mags

ill stick at it hope to ride the expert route end of summer yeah your right , its the best of both tho

You are getting better, learning to move the bike!

You use the big bike like a lazy pig though, you are spoiled now! You need to get back on a good 125 and that will FORCE you to to improve what you have learned and use the bike for what it is worth! It will do any of that and more! Just requires more from the rider!

Just saying!

umm no i am alright... i ride friends 125s quite often actually after trials and stuff. can ride them just as well. its no harder or easier. my 250 is fine. i ride every other day and on my old 125s they couldnt cope and just rattled to bits - seriously. a new fresh 125 is alright but wont be long until its down on power. i know 125s could do extreme stuff but whats the point in holding it to the stop just to do something a big bike could do in a little blip! its just going to knacker pistons and everything which i really cant be bothered any more to put up with , maybe i was unlucky ,but that why i moved to a 250. i ride like every day. piston kits are like 100£ and take time to fit etc... if i rode a 125 every day and hard at trials it would need loads of work to stop it sounding like a bag of spanners my old ones did anyway.... never had to do anything engine wise to my 250. if you want more power from a 125 you start put very high comp head inserts in a carbs which make it rev to the moon but this makes it even more likely to break!!

i am fine on what im on. if i ride all the time then this even if its not a 125 then i am surely still gonna improve. that was only small stuff in the video. i hadnt ridden in a while. i know what you mean but i would rather stay on what im on. haha

just saying

Maybe I am being old school and I applaud your bouncy skills could 99% of that be accomplished by careful line selection and throttle control, thereby saving lots of energy! Would be far more appropriate with no stop rules.

Hey Ben looks good, nice riding

yep your right, all of it has been done no stop and no hopping with carefull lines

i just wanted to learn how to hop and show it in my video . when i started trials i thought id never be able to hop around but now i can so i am happy and wanted to show it in my video bigger stuf next that was only a short little mess about haha been on holiday for a while! :/

cheers 0007!
