Gosh... I haven't been posting anything lately. At least not here. I practiced very little though because I had my final exams.

Now that this is over, I'm going to ride whenever there is some time left. Here are the latest videos since the last one. I have discovered that it is a lot of fun to ride in skateparks....

The bike has been modified as well. It is how I want it now.

I really start to like the #skatepark. First time I tried these jumps. #bmx #streettrials #streettrialmentality #rideinspired #trials

Again very happy with this one. I'm back to sidehops even though on the Inspired they feel really weird and forced.

So happy about the last one as this is my very first sidehop with the Inspired. #rideinspired #streettrials #trials

And here's a fail I managed to produce today. :D

So happy it wasn't on concrete. Looks funny. #rideinspired #streettrials #trials #fail

Here are some videos from my last couple of sessions. I focused on tyre taps as I think that these look cool and are an easy technique to learn. As soon as I get onto something higher than a curb, they aren't easy anymore. :D

Session in the rain with some things I have to improve a lot on. Especially the bunny hops with a curved run up are kinda weird. #streettrials #trials #rideinspired #bunnyhop #spankbikes #tricks #rain

Trying a new move. Not quite there yet. #streettrials #rideinspired #trials

So happy about this. Tyre tap 180°. I always wanted to be able to do these. #trials #streettrials #180 #rideinspired

Putting the new technique to the test. As soon as the curb is a wall, a tyre tap becomes less easy. :D #rideinspired #trials #streettrials

I actually wanted it to be smoother but I hurt myself a bit on the first fail, which is actually my last attempt.

Forks are back from power coating and brakes are now BR-M810. Really LOVE the setup now and there's nothing I'll change anytime soon.



Also had a short ride today. After two weeks of absence it's nothing special.

There's only one way I can get up this rock on both sides: a small bunny hop with quite some speed to just roll up this thing (second video). Since this makes it necessary to make another hop to get onto the rear wheel, it's not what I want though. I want to do this in one single movement called the hook. It's kinda hard though but once mastered, it enables me to get onto the rear wheel in one move. 

First ride of the year. I think it won't take long to kinda hook this rock. #rideinspired #streettrials #trials

I got up there from the other side but not as I wished. :( Hooks aren't easy. #rideinspired #streettrials #trials

Many days have passed since I've updated this blog. I have made a lot of progress on the Inspired which I cannot put into words. Videos are more interesting anyways. I have reached some sort of peak though which I will have to overcome next year.

I always wondered how people get down sideways without using the front brake. Now I know how. Pretty easy move. #rideinspired #streettrials #trials

@aliclarkson was right. Front wheel traps are cool. Pedal gaps too. #rideinspired #streettrials #trials

Ein von Nico Hübner (@nico_hue) gepostetes Video am 22. Nov 2016 um 7:06 Uhr

First try of bunny hop to manual. It's pretty hard. #rideinspired #trials #streettrials

Ein von Nico Hübner (@nico_hue) gepostetes Video am 25. Nov 2016 um 6:34 Uhr

A thin line between win and fail (lever pul wise). :D #rideinspired #trials #streettrials #biketrials #magura #inspiredbicycles

Turning on the rear wheel without pedal kicks. Something new for me. #rideinspired #streettrials #trials

Ein von Nico Hübner (@nico_hue) gepostetes Video am 29. Nov 2016 um 10:14 Uhr

Took like 100 tries. #streettrials #rideinspired #inspiredbicycles #trials

Ein von Nico Hübner (@nico_hue) gepostetes Video am 30. Nov 2016 um 4:53 Uhr

Winter is coming. @aliclarkson probably would've done the manual to rear onto the rail. #streettrials #rideinspired #trials #getthegrip #inspiredbikes #bunnyhop

Learned a new cool technique today + brakeless with brakes. :D #rideinspired #inspiredbicycles #streettrials #trials

Ein von Nico Hübner (@nico_hue) gepostetes Video am 8. Dez 2016 um 5:14 Uhr

Warm up (75cm) and fail (110cm). I WILL get up there soon. Today it was just the lack of commitment (or too much fear). #rideinspired #streettrials #trials #inspiredbicycles

Ein von Nico Hübner (@nico_hue) gepostetes Video am 9. Dez 2016 um 8:36 Uhr

Working on my balance. The curb between the higher curbs is about 15cm wide. On a high rail I'd not be that stable. :D #rideinspired #streettrials #trials

Ein von Nico Hübner (@nico_hue) gepostetes Video am 11. Dez 2016 um 11:18 Uhr

First rudimentary 180°. It took some tries. #rideinspired #streettrials #trials #180°

Ein von Nico Hübner (@nico_hue) gepostetes Video am 16. Dez 2016 um 5:54 Uhr

Getting better without practicing. :) #trials #streettrials #rideinspired

Ein von Nico Hübner (@nico_hue) gepostetes Video am 19. Dez 2016 um 6:12 Uhr

I counted them. 256 attempts to get the last one done and about 50 more to get another one. #rideinspired #streettrials #trials
