I wonna be a trial bike rider pt 1

[Lukabazzoka]

I have a moutain bike that I would like to ride trials on. The problem there is that I only can lower the seat (paralell with the bike handlebar). Do you think that's a good bike to start with?

What did you start with?

[jordi2121]

i like how he doesn't lie and show all the good things he does! he shows some wrecks in all videos and shows improvement that he makes. A good way to learn and get better! A perfect hobby to stay up there with the rest of em!!!!

[TheTryall2011]

Hi) You're really 47 years old? I'm 22, and I gonna learn some trial bike stunts, but I was thinking I'm too old to start becoming a trial biker))) so stupid of me)

[VANNEE7]

Whats the song?

[midgetin0gravity]

You are so cool to do this at your age. Inspirational!

[chalzegro]

Hi I just got my first trials bike ever and am learning the trackstand any tips for learning?

[haseoice]

You've given me hope that I can learn to be a trials bike rider, thanks :D

[speedbiker14]

Great Vid!

[amant606]

Hi Bob.. This is great.. You will achieve what ever you decide to. You are an inspiration. Nobody starts at the top.. And more importantly some never even start the journey at all. I respect you and encourage you to follow your dreams buddy.. I commend you.. "

[Thoaiduong2759]

you have really good balance for beginner... i suk at trackstand, ikeep falling off the bike

[liambatista]

could i use a mountain bike to start of with and then get a trials bike later on

[surfcoast]

thats is what I did

[osallivan231]

@liambatista I think you can... just take your sit off and replace it with something soft so it will not kick your ass... =)

[retrokiwikromify]

same here

[ukscum69]

how long has ittaken you to get to the level that you are at?

[surfcoast]

I've been riding now for 2 years(part 14) but had only been riding for 4 weeks when I made part one

[LittleErnieWise]

Great work! I'm 31 and thought I was way past learning trials. You've given me hope!!! Keep it up!!

[vt414]

Thanks for the great video Bob. It is a great inspiration to me to start trying, age notwithstanding.

On your trackstand, are you locking both your brakes? Or just one?

Approximately how long did it take you to be able to trackstand like that? I have been practising for weeks, and can only trackstand uphill. Level ground stills proves to be elusive.

[foldani89]

what kind of bike do u have and what brakes do u use? :D

[surfcoast]

In this vid I ridin my sons norco ??? dirt jumper with disc brakes sorry but thats all I know

[jacobosapien]

Man, congrats for the patience you have and achievments youv'e made! I find it realy inspiring for the beginner (i.e me). I was looking for tricks in you tube, and the best things i've found so far by now are usefull tricks form ryan leech's Mastering the arts of trials and your inspiring average-non-pro guy videos. I started with my XC ride, Im' on the 4th week, still dealing with track stands, zap taps and rear wheel hops on a DJ bike till get another fork and stem for a decen trials ride.

[skatebike123]

can u plz post a tutorial on how to do a trackstand, like how to hold ur bike and body position and stuff like that cos i can only hold it for a few seconds and hv been practising for ages. btw im a begginer, just starting.

[pavlez0r]

start out near a bench. try to gain balance by leaning on the bench with your front wheel. It will help you find your centre.. once your comfortable with the bench, try it out in open.

[abomb987]

i wona do that i need the money for 1 first lol

[bbaquiran]

Good stuff! I always wanted to learn trials moves but figured at 33 I was too old. Did you have a BMX background?

[surfcoast]

I had no biking background except to say that like most kids I rode my bike around the streets I don't think BMX was invented back then......ha ha

Awesome stuff Bob... I live in Forrest I'm 38 and don't mind some trials stuff myself... next time you are in Forrest drop by.

[youtoobkid]

[thrasherpunkkid]

no trial bikes are lighter and don't have shocks

the seats are also lower

[thorrthemetalgod]

Trials bikes don't have seats at all.

[thrasherpunkkid]

some do but not that many
