LEARNING SOME TECHNIQUE
Learning some correct ‘Trials’ style techniques will put the rider in a great position for all
forms of riding that come later. The Trials rider learns how to control the machine at slow
speeds, and use correct skills to execute tight turns and other techniques. Many riders tend
to think that the way to turn is to simply turn the handlebars. This is natural, but wrong! If
tight turns are mastered correctly, many other skills will follow on naturally.
1.
Riding in a straight line, the rider can practice leaning the bike to one side, then to
the
other. They will notice that when they do this, the bike will want to turn.
2.
To execute a tight turn, lean the bike to the inside.
3.
Weight should be on the ‘outside’ peg, and the outside knee should be out.
4.
The foot on the outside peg can pivot out as well.
5.
The inside arm can be almost straight, the outside arm bent, and the shoulders
square
on to the angle of the bars.
Turning is the most important technique of all. Once this is mastered, many other tech-
niques will follow. Turning with this level of skill requires full control over the machine. It will
not be possible without the rider understanding all the intricacies of balance, body position,
and throttle control.
NOTE
A surprising amount of technique can be completely natural for children. In many cases, the
riders simply work out what works best, and go with it. Simple instructions like “lean it in”
will often initiate everything else being done correctly. The more exaggerated this technique,
the better it will work. The aim is to master ‘full
-
lock’ turns. If a child can master this, they
are likely to become great riders. Very few adults can do this! Viewing Trials instructional
videos may also help. Many children can learn simply by watching.
This manual should be enough to get you started. Further techniques can not be covered in
this manual. When learning any technique the most important thing is to do so slowly and
safely. Remember that OSET bikes are a Trials bike design, and therefore designed and
developed for slow speed riding.
Enjoy the ride!
