Sum Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Hi, When I bought a trial bike, I was surprised by how low the handle is. It hurt my back and wrists but after half a year of practices, I get used to it. However, one thing still hurts me is the impact when the front wheel hits the ground after slow wheelie. I feel like 100% of my body weight is on my wrists and elbows. I have been trying to somehow release the impact to my legs, but not quite sure how I can do it. If there are any tricks for soft landing, I would appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Its all about body position. Watch a video of the top riders. They always keep the weight back and arms at full length. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to correct my posture and see what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
