mirko91 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Hi guys just hitting a bit of plateau and finding that I'm not enjoying it so much because I don't have that adrenaline rush which happens when I go shredding with my KTM 300 or ripping down trails with my downhill bike. What to do? Alternate between bikes? Any suggestion is appreciated! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffergm Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Ride each when you feel like it. Or just take the trials bike to the top of the steepest hill you can find and try to roll down it without dying... that's usually good for some adrenaline.

lineaway Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Try to ride something that your mind can see the possibility of death. It`s far easier in trials to do that than going fast. Going fast and fear has to deal with the sudden stop. Trials is the death defying ride. Speed not needed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc21 Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I think you have the word on it, go big or go home! Always a little ninja in us who really love trials so push yourself, you will find that rush I am sure of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffe Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Hi again, another way is to ride with higher skilled riders, and ride their line. Taff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_t Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) I have never had that problem... here is a short clip of me riding my txt200 being followed by a friend who had borrowed my EC200 (between sections) pretty sure my adrenaline was higher than his - LOL https://youtu.be/AbZr2TLglTY Edited July 16, 2016 by michael_t 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmostin Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I get a rush every time I start my beta. When she goes in gear will she jump forward and run away or will I be ok! Applying front brake as a precaution is just too safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a little ninja in us who really love trials so push yourself, you will find that rush I am sure of it! It is amazing how much of a Ninja this fat middle aged body can be when crashing and trying to get away from a falling bike. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applying front brake as a precaution is just too safe. I used to run into the same thing... now before I start it, I put it in 3rd gear pull in the clutch and see if it is stuck if it is I just rock it back and forth a little until the clutch frees up... cuts down on that little surprise take off after the bike has been sitting for a bit.
