asmara Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Today was the the first time i rode my Gas Gas jtx 270, in fact the first time ive ridden any trials bike, always thought how easy basic trials riding looked, Oh F... i was wrong, was on it about 3 seconds and the front wheel shot into the air, with me holding on in terror lol, that didnt help the confidence 1 bit, to be fair the 20 year old bike never missed a beat, fast throttle fitted didnt suit me at all, being a beginner, that will be changed, felt quite tense on the bike, causing my hands to get very painful, all that said i had fun and wont be giving up, will just be taking things very slowly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc21 Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 One of the best things you can do is take a class/training session. Worth every penny. Outside of this getting the bike setup correctly also really helps. And if you can't get a training in soon, pickup a DVD like the Ryan Young trials training video. I am sure lots of other people will chime in soon with other great advice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
