Brave! That must have been a nightmare for you! It’s amazing how quickly you improve though. I’ve just signed up for the Weston beach race, could be a mistake 😂

@@crashbangbikers honestly it tottally blew my mind, im so green to this whole thing and thaught ( cant be too bad lets see ) my god was i suprised. Brilliant place. I cant get out much at all so i takled the hills last time i was there and made it up a few of them. man iv signed up for that aswell. Iv been ridong around on a 10ten 250rx. I knew nothing about motobikes and couldnt part with alot of money knowing it was going to spend alot of time on the floor. And im using this bike for the 12 hr dawn to dusk race then weston beach race 😅

@shaneyboytkd91 you’re mad! FairPlay though. Good luck and let me know how you get on with them both 👍

@@crashbangbikers will do on your weston video as i presume there will be one 😅 have a good time

😂 Joe said I was lucky I didn’t break a hip at my age 🤣

Fair enough

Ok thanks I’ll give it a go when I get the bike back together 😂

Great place, everyone was really helpful and friendly. You’ll really enjoy it! Have fun 🙂

Thanks, appreciate it 👍

Ok thanks for that, I’ll give it a go 👍

Thanks 🙂

No it’s a 250cc

Do you think that’ll be the easiest or are you trying to kill me? 😂

@@crashbangbikers I was going to chose the Yamaha because you mentioned it was the heaviest, so I thought it would be fun to watch! LOL Looking forward to another "man down" moment. 😂

Well if that’s what you guys want to see I’ll give it a go for you. It’s normally Joe who’s the man down and me saying it, but maybe he’ll get his own back this time 😬

Thanks, I’ve got to stop laughing when he falls off! 🤣

Thanks, it was much harder than we were expecting for the easy loop but we really enjoyed it! It got easier once we had done it a couple of times. Keep an eye out in a couple of weeks as we are trying a different challenge, should be interesting 😬

It’s a shame the GoPro doesn’t show how steep some of the hills are. Combine that with the mud and ruts and it’s quite a challenge for a beginner. Hopefully if you go again you’ll find it a bit easier!

Thanks very much, awesome bikes! Yep loving it and looking forward to more adventures soon. 🙂

Thanks, if you’re local you’re welcome, you can give me some tips 👍

Ok thanks for the advice. Easier said than done though 😂

​@@crashbangbikers I'm still struggling with keeping my feet on too but you're going slow enough it's not going to hurt you if you flip jus trust yourself to use the brake. Try dragging the brake a little bit so your already on it and it's jus a matter of grabbing it harder if you need to

Speed seems to be the key. Ive been trying to go a bit faster so the bike wants to go straighter and tip over less. I’ve been experimenting with 2nd and 3rd gear. 3rd seems good 👍

@@crashbangbikers speed makes it easier to balance but more dangerous if you fail.

Hi, sorry not sure how to do that but it’s around Nant-Y-moch reservoir. You can park in the car park and start from there. If download OS maps it should show you the green lanes. Some stunning views. Hope that helps.

Glad it helped 👍

😂 Don’t say that, we’ve had so much fun and laughed loads! You just need to be prepared for anything. As long as you don’t go alone it’s fine. If you’re anywhere near come with us sometime 😂 Can’t wait to get out again, just need the weather to improve a little.

Hi and thanks very much. As you can see I’m no expert by a long way but I use the clutch to pop the front wheel up to the log then just blip the throttle for the next bit. Just make sure the clutch is always covered in case anything goes wrong. You’ll love the bike it’s so much fun! I’m looking to upgrade my bike soon and hopefully take part in some events as soon as I can find some.

@@crashbangbikers what bike you thinking of getting ? Yea I had a little plod round on it this afternoon for half hour does amaze me how much pull they have in them ,when you watch what the experts do on them it’s unbelievable,where abouts are you based

I really fancy a montesa 300rr probably way to much bike for me but I saw a guy riding one and it sounded awesome. Some of the Tony bou videos are incredible. I’m based cenarth west wales, you? Do you know you can start in 2nd or even third sometimes?

@@crashbangbikers yea I went for a 300 Sherco 2017 it was the price for me I had a limit of 2k as my first trials bike ,a chap I know in expert class swears by the beta 300 ,just out of my price range I know what you mean about the sound they sound lovely I’d love one of the vertigo’s but there well out the price range.I live in south Gloucestershire went to watch a classic trial the other day which was good because you could ride modern as over 50 so joined the club , they do a ride every month and in the summer they have practice evenings so will look forward to that.I bet it’s nerve racking doing you first trial

It was horrendous. 2 of us sharing a bike not knowing a thing but everyone was really friendly. I just need to find a local club. As far as I know my nearest is an 90min drive each way. Keep me updated with how you get on. 🙂

We’ve got the ucom 4. It’s a great system for clarity but the range is absolutely useless. I was 100 yards away from Joe around a corner with trees and we lost contact. It is better if you’re in an open space though.

I did tell him, but kids know better! 😂 To be fair there was a gate just behind us but we could’ve opened it 🤣

I think it was just a bar end weight. It hasn’t made any difference that I can tell.

Cool thanks I left mine in and was wondering what they where

I was a bit worried they would rattle if I left them in. Are yours ok?

@crashbangbikers I am registering it on Thursday so I will let you know Friday after the first ride

I guess I will have to get my long needle nose players if they do rattel

Glad you’re enjoying the bike, it amazes me how quickly you can improve and learn new techniques. Trialsprogression is great and I’ve watched loads of his videos 🙂

Scratch that Just realised that's on the 1100

“Non stops trials” Ammanford west wales, great place! Highly recommend it.

Ok thanks, I’ll give that a try. Not sure I fancy trying the log downhill though 😬

Thanks 🙂

Thanks very much 🙂 Definitely get one, they’re great fun and really easy to ride. The gearing is so low in 1st and 2nd that you don’t have to worry about anything stupid happening. You can build up confidence and skills gradually, just start with balance then try riding over a small log and build up to whatever you feel brave enough. 👍

I’m 63 years old soon to be 64. Are used to desert race motorcycles with my son, great fun. But I’m thinking as I get ready to retire maybe I’ll slow it down and trials riding looks like it would be great fun.

Have a go I’m sure you’ll love it! Everyone in the trials bike community is great.

Just keep practicing and it’ll be fine. Takes a while to get up to balance point and be confident enough not to either pull the clutch straight in or hit the back brake! I found trying to keep a gentle throttle going and without letting off use the rear brake to control it, that way it doesn’t come straight back down. Also it’s virtually impossible to wheelie slowly, I ended up going to 3rd to avoid tipping sideways but it’s scary doing it that fast to start with so build confidence with clutch etc then increase speed. I also found I’d have days when I didn’t feel I’d improved at all and sometimes felt it was getting worse but just keep going as all of a sudden things start to click! Good luck 🙂

Thanks, we have the same problem here in West wales. No events close to us so mainly just messing about in the garden. Well done for taking it up, it’s great fun and amazing how quickly you improve. Static balance seems to be the key to everything. If you’re struggling to start with let your tyres down. Makes it so much easier and helps to build confidence! Good luck 🙂

Thanks, it was a place called non stop trials near Ammanford. Great place but unfortunately it’s a bit too far to go to often, but we’ve got a big garden and started to build some obstacles.

I think I’ve got a long way to go before that happens but maybe one day. I’m going to try on the ktm 200 exc next and see how that goes 🤞

Thanks, hopefully we’ll be able to practice this winter and do some more next year.

Yeah I guess, but I like to think of it as minimalist yet functional 🙂

@@crashbangbikers yeah it's still a cool bike👍

Thanks, loving it so far, can’t wait to get it off road!

Thanks, definitely get one if you can it’s given me lots more confidence and definitely improved my riding on the Wr450

Thanks 👍

Hi, I like the blue but I guess you could change it to green if you wanted. The chassis is silver.

@@crashbangbikersmuchisimas gracias,y que velocidad maxima tiene?

On the flat it’ll just about do 45mph

@@crashbangbikersmuchas gracias,esque me acaban de regalar esta moto pero la moto esta en españa y yo en alemania entonces no la puedo ver,estoy muy emocionado porque es mi primera moto jajaja

Congratulations on your first bike. You’ll love it! Enjoy 😊

Hi, hopefully I’ll keep improving but I think starting at 46 is probably a slight disadvantage 😂 Thanks for the advice I’ll try it next time I head out. 👍
