What do you people do to combat the rubbing on the front/inside of your leg from were the back of the seat rubs when ever you hop or jump? I wear cyling shorts but they dont quite go down that far and I normaly wear cut off jeans but it still rubs realy bad.

One thing I don't see enough in trials vids is gaps to rails. It is insanely hard.

I still can't pedal grab

. Any tips?

isaac steiner · 2007-09-27, 05:26 PM

ahh pedal grabs about 2 weeks ago i could do it like all the time and now i cant do it for beans. I think when im bigger i will be able to do it some easier...because on my 16" I can do it everytime.

What do you say?

In how many thread do you want to ask it.

For mostly trials go for the KH (for trials and flat i also would go for the KH). It has the same strenght and is lighter.

So, who uses 145mm without q-factor on there trial?
What are the pro's and the cons about it?
Question is because I might put some Qu-ax 145mm "cross" cranks on mine trial, because of the weight profit (will save like 300gram)

Seriously? It only took about 30-45 mins of constant practice to get them for me, but everyone's differenent.

You can do them different ways.

First way: Land on your pedal, and start swinging the uni back and forth slowly to get momentum. Then on the last swing, make the pedal conect with your foot when cranks are around horzontal. Now just tuck the uni a little and combine with the momentum you got and your up. I think of this way as how Ryan Atkins used to do them, like in this short vid. http://www.unicyclist.com/index.php?...2_itemId=84516 (on the white rail)

Second way: This is how I prefer to do them. Instead of swinging the uni up and then connecting foot to pedal, you are going to land on the ledge (or whatever) and bring the uni up so the cranks are horizontal. Put your foot on the pedal, and lower the uni a few inches, but keep your foot on. Now just bring your foot, leg, and the uni up and tuck.

Hope I helped.

What do you think of this hop? Its from quite a while ago but I dont feel my technique has changed too much since. Any advise or tips would be great.

zfreak220 · 2007-09-27, 10:33 PM

think of pedal grabbing as ollieing up with your uni.

Discuss anything trials:

-accomplishments
-questions/answers (all welcome)
-parts evaluation and comparison
-trials courses
etc.

I love trials, but I fear that street is starting to become more popular.

speakin of trials i need to get a new trials uni.
