Where'm I at?

It's more like street includes trials. Trials is much slower and static
than street, while street is very smooth and flowing. That's not to say
you can't do both. Many trials riders are pretty decent, if not amazing
street riders and vica versa. I find my street repertior is weak, but
that's cuz I'm not practicing it.

As for trials objects, you can use pretty much anything. Look for Andrew
Carter's threads for inspiration. Also, you don't have to build
anything. I just go to spots in the city with obstacles that suit
myriding.

Freestyle is generally on flat surfaces, and is basically riding in a
graceful, fancy, and darn difficult way. Wheelwalking, backwards,
one-foot riding, and other things as such are examples of freestyle.

As for tricks, there are oddles of threads on idling and backwards. Just
troll the forums. Once you get more advanced things get more complicated
and are more in need of explaining.

I'm sorry, what does static mean?

I think by static gerblefranklin means that there isn't really a lot of
regular "riding" involved. Trials is mostly about jumping over and off
things, not actually going places.

Awesome, thank you very much, Mr. Carter. What do reccomend for tire
pressure for jumping? The wheel says 40 psi for just riding.

It really depends on your weight and prefrence. I am 112 lbs and I run
around 20 psi. You want your pressure low enough that you get some
spring but hard enough so you do not bottom out on drops.

By static I mean the moves don't "flow". It's lots of prehops and
stillstands once you get good. Street eliminates most of the prehops and
such. Rarely ever a street move includes a sidehop, while most trials
rarely ever uses rolling hops.

I have a mod wheel, and I weigh about 118-120. I run somewhere between
19-22 p.s.i. If you're on a torker, you probably shouldn't drop the
pressure past 20p.s.i. until you get a fatter tire. Personal preferce
matters most. I rode Dan Heaton's muni at moab, and he rides it with the
lowest pressure possible. I bottomed out the rim on 12" drops all the
time, and Dan's heavier than me. On the other end of the spectrum, I
rode Kris's wheel for a minute and it felt rock hard. Some like the tire
squishy, while others will run as high a tire pressure as possible in
order to still get bounce. It all depends on preference.

So I also shouldn't worry about the tire being pretty flat on the
bottom, I would suppose.

As long as it's only flat on the bottom, you should be okay.😄
