POWER MOVES: The Next Bike Trials Skills To Learn
The next five tricks to learn in your journey as a biketrials rider are all power moves! Combining powerful pedal kicks and big dynamic body movements will unlock these next five skills - and pave the way for the rest of your progression on a bike.
I'll describe the tricks in detail and in order, as well as provide some additional trick tips that aren't found in the tutorial videos.
The first technique is a pedal kick, which unlocks nearly every advanced trials trick or skill that you'll add to your riding from here on out. I've got a full Pedal Kick tutorial video here: • How To Pedal Kick On Your Bike: One Elemen...
The next skill is the Lunge, which is a powerful movement with your body that brings the bike along with it. That tutorial video is here: • HUGE HOPS: How To Lunge
After those two skills are mastered, you can combine the efforts into a Wedge or Surge move (depending on where your wheels are) - the foundations of this move are actually based in learning pedal kicks, since we learned how to do them from two wheels in that tutorial.
Building on those three skills is the Gap - this is where we start to make some real progress and build distance into our movements. The gap tutorial was one of my original videos, and it's still loaded with a ton of useful info: • How To Gap: Bike Trials Tutorial
Finally, we pull all 14 previous skills together in the culmination of the sidehop! This is my absolute favorite trick, and there is A LOT going on at once to make this happen. Here's the tutorial link for that video: • Side Hop Bike Trials Techniques
