I moved off my learner uni and onto a bigger wheel (29er) pretty quick
and have been riding my 29er exclusively for the past few months.
Recently I jumped back on my 20" trials (that felt weird) to begin
working on idling and riding backwards. I've noticed a couple of
things...
It seems that you need less balance on a bigger wheel, and not putting
in the time on a smaller wheel in the beginning has come back to haunt
me now. Is it the speed or inertia of the big wheel makes it possible
to ride with less balancing ability (or maybe you spend less time
standing still or moving slow)? Not that I'm not having fun, actually
I've discovered how fun it is on the trials uni and have become very
interested in working on street/trials skills (I really suck at these).
I haven't ridden my big wheel much lately.
If someone would have offered me a case of beer for my trials uni last
week I would have considered the trade :eek: Now there is no way I
would sell it, I'm having way to much fun right outside my house on the
street.
It's cool how the different branches of this sport pull you and how you
can end up someplace you thought you would never go.
Sorry for this big long post, but I don't have anyone else to talk uni
with and have spent a lot of time lately in the saddle so I need to let
it out.
