i found an older trials you tube video in spanish.i think the guys name is di frenos?

the last 2 minutes of the clip shows them using what they called a trainer.looked to be basically adustable training wheels they used to teach technices such as hopping and rolling backwards in the clip.

my question has anyone on here seen or heard of this?

Can we have a link to the clip ?

 

 

sorry i couldnt get the link to share butt above is the yo tube video.should be able to type it in on youtube and find it

 

Seems like run before you can walk, There's no point learning to hop until you can balance and that's the key point in trials.

 

It seems a large number of people want to fast track their riding and learn all that junk they see in a Pat Smadge video.

Those training wheels are one of the most unnecessary accessories for trials I've seen and seem no longer available, thank god.

They might help you concentrate on the timing of the hop and not have to concentrate on balance - then take em off to put the two together.....

but probably just rubbish

i thought they were pretty neat and wondered what guys thought.ive been riding the trials bike for over a year butt just last 4 months working on trials skills more than just trail riding it.i can balance more than 10 minutes engine off garage floor.have been as much as 3 minutes no hands.i practice full lock turns and cambers turns every weekend.

i did have thoughts that this device would help speed up being able to hop.i also enjoy the challenge of what trials is all about too.

thanks for the input

You should be right to start trying it without those wheels if you can balance that long.

It might be something to try for like one day, but longer is total unnecessary.

Great fail from the word go then .... If you can slip your helmet on without adjusting the strap I would suggest it's not tight enough
