Hi Trials riders,
Need some input on a technique question, not really for trials riding but I presume you're the skills gurus.
When I head down a series of drops, or even a long set of steps I find myself coming way forward over the bars. I think I'm just naturally trying to absorb the jolts with my arms and so falling forward as I do so. Obviously I can then end up close to coming OTB, or at the very least way off balance before the next drop.
Do I just need to concentrate more on getting my arms locked straight and arse back? Or is there some trick I'm missing?
Cheers
DD
