From a Wheelie to Splat - An 18 Month Journey for Beginners 

😀 I just made a new downloadable list of drills you can pick up for free at www.trialsprogression.com/drills

As an intermediate rider I find your videos very useful! Not only beginners should watch it. Your videos made me re-think some of my techniques. Thanks for the time and effort you're putting in these videos!

That is the best break down and explanation. But 20 times a month practice!! It's going to take me a few years!!

I love the fact you break it down to physics, leverage and momentum. A thinking man

Favorite new channel. Your explanations are right on point. Thank you!

Great stuff again Tom. This is great reinforcement for what Neil has been teaching, and I love how you put your own points into it. I’m soaking up as much knowledge as I can, so keep it up please!! Awesome bathroom scale and tire swing anology!

Really good, can’t wait to try this! Reminds a lot of a couple different ways you can bunny hop a mountain bike… manual vs meerkat … this seams a lot like the stand tall like a meerkat pulling the bars to your hips

Great series, thank you so much, I'm in.

Great dedication. Thank you sir.

Dude I absolutely love this video, I bought a ktm 125xc and realized this is not the way to learn enduro and trials skills, so I will be selling it and get me a trials bike to learn. Thanks also for sending me to Neil, I will definitely sign up to his course

Great video Tom. Looks like you and I are on a very similar path and experience so far. It's great to see the others in the group thinking analytically all the time. It's amazing how quickly we can progress.

Awesome, thank you for the tips and the great video! Putting up your time to help other people is a honorable thing to do! Thank you!

Fantastic explanation, thank you so much. I love the way you break it down to a level I can understand. I can understand, I just can't do it...yet. Keep the info coming, I need it.

Awesome explanation and breakdown of your progress Tom. You’ve highlighted many of my own challenges with the squat (which we’ve discussed).

Thanks for documenting your journey. Really helpful

Incredible basic stuff broken down, thank you

Thank you for obviously being passionate about the sport

Your teaching technique is spot on! Love these videos. I have found exactly the same as you where most of the online stuff, the riders are so good that they don’t understand what they do, they just do it. I’m an ex British Champion road racer and club champion enduro rider, but in trials, very much a shite clubman rider trying to learn and teach my kids. As such, the way you’re breaking this down is perfect for me. Thank you, please keep going 😎

Thank you, Tom!. This video is one of the best on youtube for beginners. You explain very vell. And thank you for introducing us for Niel price.

Great video buddy really enjoyed it. very well explained

Hey man! I know Neil Price personally and he’s an awesome guy. Extremely helpful, I’d recommend his content any day of the week.

Wow - this was very very helpful❤

Very informative!

Great breakdown the drills are great please add more if you can

I like the breakin down 👍🏽 makes me want to go out practice.

Great video

breaking it down from the " high" level to multiple smaller steps is key, thanks.

Fantastic insight into the mechanics of this complex manoeuvre !. It would take years to learn left to my own devices. THANK YOU !!👏

Thnx going to dabble in a bike looks so fun , you inspired this old guy

This was a very awesome brake down of the techniques: thank you!

Great video !

Great Vid amigo. I am down here in Chile, and have joined a trials club - more like a couple friends that like to get together and get dirty. I always feel like these skills are well above my skill level - and they are, but you give me hope with the way you describe the motions, and seeing your progress. thanks again for the great work.

Great vid!

Really enjoyed this video. I’m coming to the end of my first year. It’s really taken me this long just to get good posture and balance on the bike. I’m now looking to fine tune my technique to attempt bigger hazards. I’m definitely going to try the RSG it seams so simple and the fact you broke it down to explain the posture and body shape is really helpful. As you said the pro rider instructions tend to leave out that stuff but without it you just can’t do the trick.

Appreciate the vids bro

Great explanations. Just picked up a trials bike, but not much time on it. I like the RSG approach as it eliminates the timing on the loading the engine at the right time. Will have to start trying this. Also have an enduro bike and can hit decent size steps using what is likely a mixed up splat / zap technique (do know as I have never filmed it). I can wheelie at all on open ground. I need the assurance of the ledge to know the I am not going to overcook things. That is slowly starting to change as I have been able to ride up over smaller obstacles while holding pressure on the back or carry the front wheel further over obstacles like roots or rocks.

I just found the channel. Awesome video. Just subscribed.

I cant even wheelie or use rear brake yet, but coming from bicycling, I instinctively use throttle to make kind of a boosted "bunny hops" or "pedal ups". Essentially a small splatter. I have used this to clear 1.5m gaps from standstill, or go over small obstacles like stumps etc. I still can clear bigger obstacles on my bicycle but man the moto trials bike feels like it has a huge potential once get to fully tame it. A 250 2 stroke really was quite a handful the first times for someone never ridden motorized 2-wheelers. xD

Спасибо за видео!!! Очень познавательно, жду новых видео!!

Great 👍👍

What a great RU-vid channel you have

Your onto a good thing here , for the average joe rider we need this ! Bravo 👏

👍

Great video, thanks! When you do the squat, do you sometimes have problems with hitting the rear brake when doing the squat? I already adjusted mine a bit lower but still having issues with sometimes pushing on the rear brake when doing the squat.

Was good to see your clutch work when you were just pulling a wheelie early on in this vid. Most vids skip over this stuff and expect people to already know. Was a bit concerned about working out and weighing yourself though 😂

Great teaching method. Practice with a coach or at least someone to video to see your form. 👍

I don't know how long it's going to take me but I just got my first trials bike and I am on a mission to make it up the roof of a car one day thanks for the tips
