The following web pages are about Trials and some of the people behind it, you will will also be able to catch me teaching the tricks and also pictures of me riding
All about Mountain Bike Trials
Basically Trials is all about completing a number of sections, this may seem easy but in Trials every time you put your foot down you get a point and the aim of Trials is the person with the least amount of points wins, this may still seem easy but let me tell you that you have to complete each section in under two minutes and if you put your foot down five times then you are disqualified from that section. Trials may still seem pretty easy but when there are massive rocks and lots of natural stuff like logs and fallen down trees it is extremely hard.
Where to Ride
Basically you don't what to ride where is lots of traffic and people because it will end up somebody coming over to you and saying that you should not be riding there and telling you to clear off or they will call the police, so don't off mouth off at them because most times they are serious and you will find the police come five minutes later, trust me it's happen to me before and the police take it down as vandilism even if you haven't made any damage, if you do decide to mouth off then you'd better ride fast. You want to ride somewhere it is out of the way and nobody cares that you are riding there, basically in Trials youcan ride anything as long as you use your amagination, Me and my mates usually ride walls, benches, rocks anything we can find really.
The tricks you need to learn
The main tricks that you need to know are the Bunny Hop, the Back Hop, the Back Hop Forward don't worry if you don't know how to do these tricks i will be teaching them in my Trials Tricks Page.
