Trials riding tutorials to learn bike trials and improve your mtb riding skills.
Trials Riding bunny hop the essence of bike trials Trials riding is all about climbing on any kind of obstacles like a mighty goat. Climbing is one of these moves where you are more likely to smash the bike than yourself (especially the crank set). Walls and concrete kerbs are rather unforgiving for the chain-rings (try to practice on wood logs or heavy duty palets). Start easy and build it up.

12 biketrial techniques for all kinds of situations
slash Using the bunny hop approach at any speed (raw street style).
slash Rolling over the obstacle, a smooth quiet move.
slash In one hop sideways, to bring both wheels on the same level.
slash Sideways, with a rear wheel hop, when there is no room for both wheels and it is too high for using the static hop technique.
slash With a rolling pedal kick, for a smooth ascension crossing a gap.
slash From a static balanced position with the front wheel already onto the obstacle
(wheel transfer for accurate positioning in time trials).
slash Picking the front wheel onto the obstacle to support a smooth wheel-swap.
slash Banging or hitting the front wheel on the upper edge of an obstacle
(for higher stuff where rolling over or the bunny hop are not possible)
slash Hooking the bash plate onto the obstacle, by landing a slow bunny hop or a pedal hop (that way you climb in two steps, but you need a good crank protection).
slash Hooking one pedal onto a wall edge sideways, and pulling up the bike.
slash Hooking the front wheel to an edge, to pull yourself up over huge obstacles
(a two-step move, for the pros).
slash The Wall Ride for a bit of urban fun, or for quick transition on slanted rocks.

What pressure for the tyres?
It depends on the ground and the sharpness of the edges you climb on. The sharper the edge, the more inflated you want the tyres so that you don't get a double pinch flat when banging the back wheel on it (the unfamous snake bite, rim rails pinching the tube against an edge). For round blunt obstacles like wood logs, less pressure gives extra gripping because the tyre can litteraly grab the edges and shapes. less pressure also gives extra bouncing for landing, and is more comfortable. Fat tyres (2.5" or wider) are the best, and allow a lower pression than thin tyres, so more comfort and more grip.
