Cool, some nice faceplants did you manage it in the end
i would be worried of the wheel getting stuck in the pallet

Nice 1, looks like a sweet little area 2 make trials stuff in with them pallets

cant wait to get me trials bike 2morw now

Like it , try & try again is the road to perfection

Ah man that video cracked me up! Wicked to see you sticking at it that's what its all about and your pretty close - id love to be able to back wheel hop!

That did just make me laugh on a Sat night I'm planning to head to Singletrack Classic Weekender and it has a Trials section and my bike skills - well, I don't have any so now I'm a little concerned after seeing your crate session!

I thought you did good, but you know it's the always the stacks that make the vids unfortunately!

P.

I had to give up in the end. My back was hurting so I couldnt get it

I will get it. Sometime this year!lol

Trials is ace. But I got to a block last year where I couldnt get up onto stuff. I could get off stuff no probs and allmost gave up. But id never ridden with anyone better than me. I hooked up with a guy who is miles better, he showed me what to do. Then last session, it all came together!

The main thing Ive learnt is to concentrate on each obstacle at a time. Forget the gap at 1st, think about getting up onto the thing 1st.

What ya getting dude??

onza t-bird, a guy i knew from greensands was moving and had no room for it and was getting rid of it for £20 so thought might aswell, only basic spec (vees)

will upload a pic in a bit as just got back from getting it, but feels pretty nice, and already managed 2 back wheel hops

edit :

Nice man.
I tried riding a 20 but couldnt get on with the geo. They are so long and the bars are odd!
The chain looks a bit slack?? Or is it just the pic?
The best thing you can do is get a set of maggies on it.

Also, dont get wound up when you cant do stuff. I'd get well wound up at first. I do lots of short sessions now and have progressed massivly in the last few.

Yeh felt a bit odd 2 begin with but jsut been messing around in the garden and its starting 2 feel a little more normal
yup its very slack, still gota sort that out, probably do it when i get a new bb
and already eyeing up a set on pinkbike, jsut gota get the funds for them haha, so will be a month or so

the neighbours are having some work done and theres a few palets so might see if i can pinch them for the garden so can do short sessions msot days

Did well for 1st time and keeped going at it. I wouldn't have the patience.

You can its a doddle i could show you in an afternoon!

I used to ride trials for years. Used to love it, now just its not quite the same. Danny Mac is doing a great job of making it cool again and the whole 24" style makes it much more fun to watch.

Your doing great keep it up! Gap jumps will become second nature if you keep up the practice.

Heres an old vid of me on my first gen Ashton.
