A huge problem I have when riding trials is overcoming my fear of certain heights even though I know that technique-wise it shouldn't be a problem. Last session I finally did this gap from one to another platform without thinking about falling and hurting myself. Turns out that it's rather easy...

Talking about not improving... I actually have improved as I focused on more technical things rather than fitness (which I don't have anymore). One of the things I focused on is my sidehop that is rather rudimentary, which makes it easy to improve... 

Here's a video where I focused on the little kick and jump afterwards:

And here's a clip where, at the end, you can already see the fruits of it. I also find it easier to do moves on the rear wheel:

I haven't had time to go out and ride lately as I got a new job. There's no real improvement in this video but I thought I'd still share it.

Yesterday was the day of doing things I hadn't been able to do before.

1. Gap from one turtle to the other (1st video)

2. Gap onto the clam -> gap onto the platform -> gap to the other clam (2nd video).

And then I did some gapping practice. I still can't jump very far but my technique seems to be improving. Some guy on a forum told me to try to jump high instead of trying to jump far. I'll do that next time.

Trialsession!

Today I went out to see whether I have improved since June, which I knew beforehand anyways. I still was wondering how much I've actually improved in just 4 months. Here's a video of myself doing stuff I managed to do already but which feels easier now. I think you can see that in the video.

Short workout on two wheels rather than one. Everyday it feels better and also cooler. In the beginning I only did what looked cool (e.g. backwheel hops, pedal ups etc.). Now I'm starting to practice the basic stuff and to my surprise it's cool too. :)
