TrashZen has been designed from scratch as a comprehensive online tutorial to help mountain bikers and riders of all sorts improve their riding skills. At the time of launch (summer 1998), there were simply no illustrated tutorials available on the web, and that was exactly what I would have been looking for when I started trials riding.
A detailed analysis of each move, as I came to understand and
practice them, will help beginners crack some of the non-trivial
or counter-intuitive techniques. All the basics are covered with
extensive tips and videos (the best way to learn any move is
still to see it performed by other riders).
Most advanced/expert
riding techniques are also covered, and new pages are being built
as the techniques evolve. If you feel some techniques are missing or
could be better explained, let us know. Your feedback is always welcome.
Why TrashZen?
Well... It's all about trashing your bike around,
but with the Zen feel of full control in the air. It is like if time had stopped during these little tricky
instants of zero gravity, during a big gap jump or during a perfect move. It's like the Zen side of mental preparation,
Trashed by the occasional crash... Still not very clear?...hmmm... well...
Ride trials, you'll get a clearer picture.
