b182 Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 One of the tricks that I like but have no idea how to do it is jumping forward without any speed. How to do it? I dont know how do they call it. But it's often done by riders on their videos. The're standiogn on the rock and then jump to another one. Can you explain it how to do it?

lineaway Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 First it takes years of practice and lots of crashing. Find yourself a nice dirt ledge, click it up to 3rd gear, dump the clutch and jump. There you have crash number one. Next time get the front end up first. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b182 Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Do you guys can do it? Do you have your own videos of your trainings? Post them here:) Thanks guys! Need to replace rear brake pads first. Edited September 26, 2017 by b182 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Only the very good riders can do this well. Like 1% of trials riders. Us mortals still use both tires. Starting off on trials bicycles seems to help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b182 Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Ohh. I thought that most of trial riders can do this. It is amazing how Toni Bou or others of trial elite can jump from one rock to another. Ok. Now how about standing on two wheels and then lifting front wheel and jumping forward. How to jump more than 40 cm long.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc21 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 One of the best ways to learn some of the basic stuff like this is with a trails training DVD. Then record yourself when you practice it. Then when you play it back you can compare it to the training DVD to see if it looks correct. Hope that helps.

heffergm Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 My miniature version (although to be fair the pic doesn't do it justice... it's a 2 foot gap. I'm pretty proud, lol): 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b182 Posted September 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) He's the best! It's unreal what he's doing with his bike. Heffergm nice. I'm trying it to. Here's me jumping over sewer (is that correct word? ) Edited September 27, 2017 by b182 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leosantanalg Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 On 9/26/2017 at 4:41 PM, oni nou said: https://youtu.be/X5vNrgYt5W8 The techniques used here on the bicycle are the ones that Toni Bou uses on the motorbike to help make him so much Better than others. I have to disagree with the bicycle! I recently started a similar thread and actually going to start a new one showing the recent video of Pat Smage and Bou riding bicycles together! I too bought a trials bicycle for cross training and I use to be a BMX rider. apart from balance, the skills are not at all transferable in my opinion.

jonnyc21 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Most of what it transferable from bicycle to moto-trials is indoor X-Trials stuff and isn't as helpful to outdoor moto-trials. I am sure some of the bicycle trials skills can help outdoor but how much? I feel my trials bicycle has helped a bit with my moto-trials but it isn't the same and I will not try to pretend it is.

bluey Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) I would think that the skill which transfers the best is the ability to maintain a dedicated and methodical practice regime. Apply that to either/any discipline and you will get results. Another way of saying that a person who can teach themselves to "hop" on a bicycle could probably also have learnt on a motorcycle.
