I have mine and love it most of the time. It's great at the park, but wish it had reflectors for street riding. I also hate trying to go uphills with this thing.
hé regardez ma vidéo sur ma nouvelle trop cool trottinettte 3 roues il suffit juste de tapez sur youtube : trikking trottinette 3 roues ! c'est simple et c'est chouette ! merci beaucoup
Ha ha backatcha. I practice falling off just so I have the muscle memory to instantly click in when I do get into trouble. About 95% of the time, I can "feel it coming," and all I have to do it step off the Trikke instead of getting tossed off.
Anyway... if you carve in a parking lot for long enough, you get a really good workout -- if done a regular basis...and since it is fun to do, you don't realise you are doing it.
And since this trikke works out your entire body... your whole body rides this machine... then you get one hell of a good workout... I still have 2 months of snow in Finland. probably more... tought to wait for drier roads..
No, your words of judgment are a waste of time. The Trikke is the perfect fitness machine, and it has saved me from being a couch potato, whereas, you, going around posting like a troll is only going to make your life worse. However, your spelling seems to indicate that you're either quite young or quite stupid, so I forgive you.
Hey I seen this video and I'm in Tampa area for a few months so I went to the Trikke store and got a T12. I could use some pointers.LOL Do you live in Tampa or neer Tampa? I'm neer Dunnellon it was 96 miles to the store. Do you teach?
I'm in Madison, WI. Learning to trikke is not an intellectual feat--instead, it's the body learning directly from the Trikke what works. The Trikke is a perfect guru--pushs back at you if you get out of rhythm. This bio-feedback looping builds muscle memory. The three most important words of trikking are practice, practice, practice. You are soooooo lucky to be in Tampa where they have the world's bestest mostest swellest group of carving thugs who maraud the pathways. Join 'em!
what is the real name of these becuase i want to look for other shops besides just trikke. but i dont no what to type in becuase 3 wheeler dosent work do they have like a name like scooter or somthig?
Trikke is the name, but they are not sold in many retail outlets. I buy all my Trikkes from Tampa Trikke in Florida. They always give the best prices, your Trikke is pre-inspected and partially set-up, they toss in a tee-shirt, etc. Professional to the max. Beware the clones -- they're cheap knockoffs that no one likes once they try out the real deal: TRIKKE by Trikke Tech.
Why wait? There's many videos here showing just those kinds of tricks being done. There are some real hotdoggers who are every bit as skilled as the best in any physical endeavor -- and those trikkers do get air, 360's, etc. I'm a but a humble carver getting fit by dancing in public, but I can tell you that only the smart and the fit need approach the Trikke as a sport machine. It takes your entire focus and every ounce of skill and a passionate heart -- idiots need not apply.
Actually that is a sloped surface. Whenever I approach the camera, I'm going uphill. Not a serious slope, but significant -- it's an invisible newbie stopper. A newbie almost always gets on his first Trikke, and enjoys a ride down slope and thinks, "Hey, this is a snap." Then the newbie turns uphill and QUUMPH they stop. To do a serious hill takes a coordinated effort of the entire body -- a body that had better be able to punch and grunt and push and shove with precise timing. Funzies!
Bumps. Even an acorn can be a significant bump that'll violently ruin your control of the handlebars. Newbies have to learn to recognize the power of little things: goose poop on the sidewalk, wet leaves, sand, twigs, sidewalk upliftments, pebbles, mossy spots in tunnels, oily residue, and on and on it goes. Good news: once you get jiggy, all the safety precautions move to the background as the body learns how to automatically accommodate the surface's challenges. And then the dancing begins.
Every surface has challenges, but, once your body knows how to use the knees and elbows as shock absorbers - relax - your mind no longer needs to see every single mar - even a pretty big bump will be handled automatically. This frees the mind to go where it wants to go without a lot of investment in watching the radar screen for blips. Thus I will often ride my streets at night and just let the body handle the surprises. Dancing in the dark with bumps peppering the carves? Yummy spicy!
Post video of you carving any smoother and see if I'm not the first to praise your ability. As for the music, youtube forced me to choose from a song list with nothing on it that I really wanted to use.
Some people knowledge is SO limited! Don't understand anything about copyright and licenses PLUS all they do is trolling. IF I were you I'd simply delete the comment. You are always the moderator.
I notice that you have your feet on the Trikke at an angle. Does this make it easier to carve? I am just NOW figuring this out after many pushes from hubby to get me going lol
My bad. This video is years old, and I have since corrected my foot position - I think I was getting a repetitive motion syndrome; lots of pain stopped once I corrected. But, that said, hanging off the pads does give me a feeling of a deeper subtlety when I'm nuancing a dance, because the dipping of the footpad can be better felt and that becomes a sort of bio-feedback for me to help trim the luft out of my sails!
Sounds like funzies. To each his own. Never tried a bent, yet, but obviously they're a breed apart from normal biking, and I think you guys take some heat from the regular bikers as much as trikkers get yelled at on the paths by the GPS-agenda-freaks. Post some video of yer beast.
I just bought the T08 Air and I am planning on buying 3 more for my family. My main concern is that my foot will slip off during a carve. Do you find that you foot stays planted when carving on these? Thanks and you are an inspiration at age 64 to be doing this! 60 is the new 40 in my opinion.
The footpads come with a peel&stick gritty surface that you can remove and replace when it wears out, but my Trikkes all have bare spots worn into the pads. Lazy here, but never had a problem slipping off a pad. I have almost a religious rule to never get off the Trikke: thus I seldom have wet feet which that might make staying on the pads a lot more iffy. Good news: slipping off the pads is dead last on complaint lists. Small debris on the path - now there's your newbie tripper-upper.
The T8 is easier to control under duress, but tread newness, road conditions etc. all conspire to obfuscate a scientific analysis. A T12's stride and brakes win me over most days, but you can't beat a T8 for hotdogging it with lots of quick turns. Love my T8 and T12 Tribreds when I'm needin' some speedin'. On a Tribred, all one's trikking skills must be honed anew to handle the afterburner kick. That said, there's no improving the simple thrill of the carve seen in this relaxed video.
Enjoyed watching your carving and showing you don't have to go great distances to get a good workout! I was a beginning Trikke owner when they first came out, but got discouraged because where I live it's ALL HILLS. but I got my sister into it, bought several,WON one, and has a T12. She bought me a T8cv. We are both training to ride the 30 mile Rails to Trails ride in Florida.So wish me luck! You give me inspiration just watching! TRIKKE ON!
The real beauty of the Trikke is that everyone eventually gets to be excellent at carving. The Trikke is a master teacher and will not let you ever get away with anything without pushing back at one. Good luck on the 30 miles -- having a carving companion: priceless. Love your story of personal evolution. I'm very impressed. The poetry of the carve -- what's not to love? Post some video, will ya? Anyone who can carve 30 miles deserves 15 minutes of fame.
what do u find is the difference between the t8 and the t12 - i am trying to decide on which one to get - i am also an intermediate rollerblader and skier - 5ft2in - adult female 140lbs - sporty abilities
If you have rollerblader muscles, the T12 might be fine for you, but your height fits a T8 better. T8 is great for learning. Once you've got your carving chops, the T12 is great for the extra workout of hefting it's weight around, the longer stride length, the deeper "fall," and the disk brakes are to die for. I'd intuit that you should buy the T8, learn, pass it forward, and then get the T12.
And I thought I was cool riding my Vespa. Just great. Now I feel no cooler than a car, as if now I drive a gas guzzler destroying the earth compared to you guys :(
If I had a Vespa, I'd be tooling around thinkin' I was pretty cool. So, lucky you if you get a Trikke!! Both worlds! The best part about trikking is that one doesn't have to get anywhere to achieve fulfillment -- messing around in a small parking lot will do -- there's such pleasure in each carve.
I have mine and love it most of the time. It's great at the park, but wish it had reflectors for street riding. I also hate trying to go uphills with this thing.
