I started trials not long ago and was very lost and struggled alot as there are very very very little tutorials to learn from. I'm so glad I found this channel! Keep it coming!
Sweet, will do! Glad this channel has been helpful - I do a livestream ride twice a week on Twitch if you ever want to jump in ask more questions or hang with us!
This is gonna be my next session. I don’t know how to wheelie hop yet. I’ve always wondered how to get up to and obstacle with minimum speed/distance. I can’t believe I missed this tutorial when I discovered your channel and learned pretty much everything I know now from there. Thank you 🙏
In nowhere i have seen such detailed explanation! I learnt to do the rear wheel hop and succeeded and find it easier than wheelie gap jump; with your tutorial and my new learnt skill (rear wheel hop) I hope I can do the wheelie gap jump! Will try tonight! Thanks!
This is fantastic! I love the way you break everything down in incremental steps. This certainly prevents the overwhelm of just thinking about the end result. Thanks heaps for sharing.
Dude, I just literally started working on this a couple hours before I saw this video! I just built up a crazy long reach hardtail and can’t get the thing to manual or bunny so I am finally learning this! 🤙
Great vid, I’ve been doing all my hop ups and gaps from a stand still. Can’t wait to start trying this, and maybe I’ll be able to get some more height with the extra momentum
Again rewatching this tutorial. I tryed this couple of time and I'd say that in here the hardest part here is to do a pedal kick (at least a beggining) with your wear foot. So put a body in a right place and move it right way while pushing the pedal. And also to get a balance with that postition with weak foot forward. Quite a task for me. Now after a year of struggling I start to pedal kick over obstacle. I mean I would but it's snow outside so mostly I can find only a crack or a mark on asphalt. Or something like a pedestal near a building with a height of a curb. Yesterday I jumped off it with a pedal kick. A tiny achievment. ^_^
Practice makes progress! Stoked to hear that your pedal kicks are coming along. They take a while to learn, but once you have them, the whole world of trials unlocks! Did you see the most recent gap tutorial from a few weeks ago? I think there might be some useful tips in there that will add to what you learned in this video.
@@SuperRiderTV Not sure, but I'm gonna check. Recenlty I've found pretty hard obstacle. Looks like I step with my front wheel (to catch a balance) mostly with my right hand. So it hurts pretty much after half of hour. And after the whole one it's almost impossible to use the limb. Can you advice something?
The hardest part for me in trials is all that pedaling and leaning back stuff. I'm really afraid of falling at back. It happened to me when I just started ridnig kinda exteme bikes. Thanks Chtulhu I didn't get serious injuries, but fear stays.
Makes sense for sure - I have that same fear with riding kicker ramps (and flips, too). Had a bad experience and now I struggle to pedal hard at any sort of ramp.
Great video and great skills you have. Try to work with a beginner and see his mistakes because it is 100% impossible to learn that if you're beginner like me. It requires being comfortable with the body weight further back.
I would suggest starting with the skills in this video before you move on to gaps - these techniques will help you get more comfortable over your front and back wheel balance points: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0iuST5KlMQo.html
@@SuperRiderTV struggling with those for a year. Try to unlock new skills this period. Recommendation.... Add some really slow motion clips and talk about the brakes and the body position. It helps over thinkers like myself
Great vid. I'm having a bit of trouble with this one. I can get a small hop but I'm struggling to get the bike steep enough to properly land on the rear. I usually land rear wheel first but then the front end comes crashing down pretty hard. Any tips?
It sounds to me like you might be in a slightly heavier gear than you need for this technique - maybe try one or two gears lighter? The other piece of advice I would share is to keep your weight further back than you think you need to be (on both the initial pedal and the landing).
Oh right on - yeah in that case, play with your body position and weight, I think that should help. I’ve got a few other ideas if that doesn’t work, but they might take a bit more to explain.
I was looking for a video like this just the other day, thanks - do the same rules apply on a MTB? or are there any other tips i should keep in mind trying this on a MTB
I'm new to this stuff too but I'd say: Make sure you're in a gear that suits. Aim for 1:1.3 or 1:1.5 or so (@lutzetime mentions this in another video, it helps a lot) Lock out the rear suspension (if any) when learning so it doesn't absorb too much energy from you. Get your seat as low as possible so it's out of the way. Have fun!
What @teracis said! The right gear ratio will make all the difference, too low of a gear and you’ll spin out, too high and you won’t be able to get the real kick at the end. You got this!
This helps me a lot. How far on a flat surface can one go? I can do 5 feet now, but beyond that, if I push backwheel further by pushing my legs forward, then my body lags behind, which causes backward falls. Any tips?
Check out today's livestream for some more tips on gaps - you can absolutely go farther on gaps by lowering your front wheel. We talked about this at length today, check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8ADcPEizoI4.html
