Urban Freeride...a whole new level..Yeh trials!!
- Thread starter PHLO
- Start date
Thanks for posting man.
Also i was wondering about doing some of that stuff on a mountain bike, i would think it wouldnt be totally different, some of the manuals would have to happen a little differently, different center of balance. Thoughts?
Was thinking about getting into trials previously but i like mountain biking/freeride/downhill more, wouldnt mind messing around on my bike doing some trials stuff though either.

damn this video is in every forum on this ****. hey justinsroy if you have a hardtail thats all you need. just go out and do all your freeride skills in the city. and maybe hang around the bmx/dj forum and there will be mad help from all my brothas there.
just go out and have fun trying new things on all the urban obstacals you can find man.
simple as that.

I just bought a trials bike...I havent ridden anything without an engine in years but decided to get back into it...I will say trials is the hardest thing I have tried so far lol.
You can start on a hardtail mt. bike, a DJ would probally be best especially if you threw a rigid fork on it...but the bike will hinder you eventually and slow the learning curve but thats with everything...a purpose built machine is always better for that purpose...

holy cr#p that was awsome. ive never seen anyone do a wheelie backwards.
A street hardtail is fine at first (or maybe all you need). Look at Ryan Leech.
