Using trials bikes to develop enduro skills︱Cross Training Trials

http://wdtc.org.au Dirt rider wanting to develop your technique? Some things are easier to learn on a trials bike first, especially slow technical terrain. Use trials techniques to develop your hard enduro skills. Trials website: http://wdtc.org.au Facebook:   / 167905573420579   Youtube:    / @crosstrainingtrials   Learn to ride moto trials! Trials riding must be the best kept secret in the world of motorbikes. For some reason trials riding (or observed trials) is only big in Europe and the UK... elsewhere there are just a handful of trials clubs in each country such as Western Districts Trials club which makes these trials training vids. This introduction to trials techniques explains why trials riders are so glad they are in on the secret - we reckon you should be too! Visit your local moto-trials club and chat with some trials training fanatics today... Alternatively just pull the clutch in and don't worry about engine braking - chances are you are on a two-stroke anyway! If there is a drop off too steep to clear your bashplate (skidpan), you will need to de-weight the bike to clear it. On a steep descent you usually don't want to build up extra speed, so usually you will just release the front brake just before you reach the drop off. Your front suspension will decompress and you can pull back on the handlebars to lighten the front end enough to clear the drop off. Our trials training vids and written articles on observed trials techniques are thanks to the Western Districts Trials Club for their riders and expertise in putting together these trials training vids - Tom Wager, Ruben Chadwick and James Wager! This is definitely an advanced move and something you will want to build up to slowly. There does come a point where the descent is so steep you begin thinking of upgrading your life insurance. When caution is the better part of valor, simply take the five points and live to ride another section. If it all goes wrong, don't worry about saving the bike and going over the handlebars - throw the bike to one side and look after yourself.
