twowheelfanatic Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) 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?

steve_earle Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guys Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Those training wheels are one of the most unnecessary accessories for trials I've seen and seem no longer available, thank god. http://www.difrenos.com/recambios-accesorios-tienda/results,1-60.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftp Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowheelfanatic Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.e.lucas Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 You should be right to start trying it without those wheels if you can balance that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybond700 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 It might be something to try for like one day, but longer is total unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingle Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
