[QUOTE="duke, post: 379913, member: 16522"] About 4 weeks ago while trail riding, I saw a guy camped not far from me who was riding his Gas Gas trials bike. I watched the guy practice his manuevers and was impressed with his balance. When he returned to camp I asked if he competed in trials. He said "no", that he generally he races MX. He stated that trials has taught him two very important components to controlling a bike, balance and body posistioning. He showed me a few drills and insisted that by practicing them a little bit on my bike (250 EXC) my ability to negotiate any turn and/or obstacle would be much easier and with less effort. I took his advice and some time every riding day. I even practiced a little in the street when the hours were accomodating to the neighbors. I cant tell you have much more control with less effort I have acheived. The only other person that I personally knew who trained on a trials bike was a neighbor who raced speedway in the seventies. I didnt think the techiniques would benefit me. How wrong I was. Its fun and a great enhancer to your other riding. [/QUOTE]
