crosstrainingenduro.com Into observed trials or moto-trials? We are uploading videos for trials riders on basic, intermediate and advanced trials techniques. No professional riders or trainers involved, just average joes here but hopefully you will pick up some useful tips along the way! We'll cover prepping your bike for competition, basic maintenance, and a variety of silly stuff too. This started as a resource for our Western Districts Trials Club members but thought we would share with the wider trials riding community.
How to choose the right trials bike︱Cross Training Trials
crosstrainingenduro.com wdtc.org.au How to choose the right trials bike? Which trials should I buy? Trials bikes for beginners. Trials bikes for kids. Two stroke or four stroke trials bikes? There’s a twin-shock class for trials bikes built before about 1985. Which is the best trials bike for beginners? Brands like Oset have electric trials bikes for kids which have a decent battery life with the added advantage of being able to ride in the back yard without annoying the neighbours. The mono shock trials bikes are around 1985 and on - these have become lighter and more capable every year. Four stroke trials bikes v two stroke trials bikes! There is a wide range to choose from, it’s hard to make a mistake! Trials is mostly about rider skill and not the bike you are on so don’t stress too much about making the right choice. Classic trials bike classes exist for vintage bikes built before 1965. Some riders prefer four-strokes - the pros and cons are similar when looking at dirt bikes. In a nutshell, the advantages are a tamer engine response, usually quieter if practicing in the back yard, more engine braking, fewer engine rebuilds, no messing around with oil, and better fuel economy. If you also plan on some trail riding then four strokes are generally smoother and quieter on open trials at a consistent speed. Adults are also finding backyard practice possible now that adult-sized bikes are emerging. Electric trials bikes now have mproved battery life, weight and the addition of clutches have the electric bikes fast approaching the abilities of their petrol-driven cousins. See the trials forums for more information on various brands such as Electric Motion, Gas Gas, Oset, Beta and Mecatecno. The drawbacks are they are more expensive, slightly heavier and engine overhauls will be more expensive and time-consuming (although it takes ages to wear any trials engine out!). Some of the world’s top riders choose to ride four-strokes so it does come down to personal preference. Electric trials bikes are an interesting new development. Trials website: wdtc.org.au

Is the kiddies bike
I said a wrong thing but is there a children trials Back😂😂😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So to confirm, apart from the Trials Clubs or private property, there aren't many places you can ride? Say if i have an early finish at work and a short arvo to kill, it wouldn't be like chucking my registered enduro bike in the back of the ute and driving 40 min to the Glasshouse mtns for a few hours riding?
Yep. Although in other states like Vic and Tas you can fit a headlight and get recreational registration. There is a version of this in Qld but it doesn't apply to state forests, it's only for farmers wanting access to back roads for ag bikes or quads etc.
Screw the extras !
What he said about the bars I had that figured out when I started trials riding in 1977 !
🎉 semplice e verissimo grazie
Pick up a bike for 1500 he says, then I realize this video is 9 years old cuz now I can't even find one less than 6 thousand! I mean I can't afford even a 2000 dollar one but still
Yeah that 1500 should probably read 3500 now with inflation and the big price hike that came with covid. But I just jumped on Facebook Markeplace and saw old trials bikes for $1100 and two for $2000 in my area...
@@crosstrainingtrials ah ok thx! And thanks for responding so quick haha I subbed
Love the end
New here. And I’m working on this. Just learnt new knowledge today. Use the legs and not the upper body and arms. Will try again tomorrow.
Are you still riding?
Enduro and adventure? Yes. But it was too long a drive to the trials club and nowhere else to ride. 😢
Trials bikes are the best fun you can have with your clothes on!!!
😂
Heck, Tom, I'm impressed. Just look out for the trailing propstand. 👍
yoooo anyone else still around checking the channel every few months for more videos haha
What did you say about the proper position of the rear brake lever? I listened 6 times can't get it. And what did you say about performing surgery on yourself? I just didn't understand that. Please explain
Love the words-"it looks way easier than it is."Wish i had a euro for every time i showed a video of where i went to other people and they said it didnt look tough!!"😀
I guess I'm getting a 250 Sherco although I'd like a 125 because I want to learn fast, not compete. Seems hard to find anything If I could buy a full sized eletric one for $3000, I would
ha ha great upload 🇬🇧 ta
Very nice vidéos, bikes .... from France
I've been into trials bikes since 1973. At 59 years old I just bought a Gas Gas TXT 300. I don't actually compete in trials as there are no clubs within 150 miles of me. I just love to play ride. Logs, small rocks, steps. I just wish trials would become more popular in America. I'd love to see more dealerships stock trials bikes
Over the years how did I miss this one. Love it. Thank you !!
Holy Moley! You've been baffling people with bullshit for 9 years now, Barry? Kudos. Keep 'em coming! We love it.
if you intend to use a trials bike to rip up and down trails often they can over-heat quickly which can cause the engine to seize. The radiators are small compared to an enduro bike so be wary of this. So use the trials bike like it is intended. If you like ripping up and down trails or tearing up the side of mountains you should chose an enduro bike
slow trail riding is ok?
Yes absolutely. Slow trail riding is fine
Or install an oil cooler along with a fan for 4 stroke bikes With 2 strokes you probably want to set the carb a bit rich and mix a bit of oil into the fuel if it has a seperate oil tank.
So glad to see a normal sized person on a trials bike.. I'm 6'2" and 300# Larger than normal.. but looks like great exercise.. possible lose some weight
.. till I'm 80 years old? But what then!? After I'm 80... or 90, I can't ride trials then?
Yes you must stop at precisely your 80th birthday lest you incur the wrath of the trials gods. 😎
Trials community are really great. I joined a local one recently and there are really nice people there.
Couldn't agree more!
5...5...5...5...5 😂
Been there done that lol!
been riding beta rev3 in some form the last 18 years.. happy being just a clubman.. but i have gotten a montesa 349 ... which nobody seems to use.. but... i need a new challenge the modern bikes are superb..but ... an ol twinshock on the club route is good fun..its not going to kill ya... and it feels a lot more satisfying cleaning a section on an old bike ..
Massive difference with the new bikes!
Brilliant, but please always wear helmet and that torso guard (and back brace is good).
Oi where the bloody hell are yas?
I think a trials rider can the French hill climb?
Wow! These guys do not ride!!! Thei walk on rocks!!!! SUPER!!!
Great tutorial
Thank you!
Gachimuchi?
🕶️
"If you are a king of bling, feel free to customize your child's bike." Couldn't have said it better myself, Barry. LOL Just found your old stuff and and having fun with it. Sherco Sons of Anarchy Limited Edition? Yeah, you were, too. (snort)
That line of of brand new (looking) Ossas was amazing. Just how they looked when i felt in love with them in the 70s.
Love this channel! Going to go try this on my '66 Triumph Mountain Cub!
It’s good fun on the old twinshocks. I started on a OSSA 250 when I was around 12 - 13 then a Fantic 240, got as far as 2nd place in our regional championship. Made riding a modern trials bike feel like a dream! Haven’t ridden trials for ages but it helped a lot when I started on my enduro bike.
Damn i miss my 250 Gasser,,,wonder if it's too late to start again at 47...
NO!!!!!
I've got a 250 Gasser , 69 y.o. this month .
I estimate i would have killed myself 7 times.
Could have done without the into to be honest, kind of weirded me out about the whole channel. Been loving it up until this vid.
This was a great relaxing watch. Cheers
Great video
dont make anything like...they do ok nowadays ess with bikes but most things....these are such capable bikes I love mine..
Can you use a regular dirtbike/motorcross as a trials bike?
back after 4 years from my previous comment....after 15 or so years riding beta Rev3's even a rev 4t.... i need a fresh challenge... i have bought myself a 1980 montesa 349 .. .. its a new ballgame but i needed it.... i rode a local trial to get the feel etc.... its going to take some time to re-adjust because im not so young anymore.... but when i clean a section on twinshock its feels 10x better than a modern bike ......
Trials bike demonstrations
Would it be possible for me to learn trials on my own?
what model bike is the gold framed one please?
How many ccm would you recimend for 14 yr kid
I live near an old railway embankment. Just a long line of high and steep dirt/mud trails which can sometimes get vertical at the top. And the mad buggers fly around it all on motorbikes, it's epic!
