So far I can do wheelwalking, one footed, idling, side hopping up and down things seat in only, riding adventurous downhills and uphills, logriding (sort of).
So I’m wondering if I could also learn things like unispins, gliding, coasting, standup stuff etc. with this setup. I also want to increase my very poor hopping height (it’s about 35cm at the moment).
So since everybody seems to be doing that kind of stuff on 20" wheels I would like to hear some opinions about where the limits would be for a 24" muni. Would you recommend getting a 20" to learn those tricks in the first place and then transfer them to the 24"?
My first uni was a KH24. I learned to do all the skills you can do, and gliding. I learned to unispin on a 20", but it is very possible to learn on a 24.
Another skill to work on: seat out work: seat out hopping, seat drag in front, seat drag in rear.
I still recommend a 20" for more trials-type things, but a good trials rider can do lots of cool stuff on a 24".
Some things like no-footers are actually easier on a 24, because it’s a more stable platform to jump from. The wheel doesn’t rotate as much if your pedals are weighted a little unevenly.
I learned unispins on a 24. You have to get your feet a little higher and wider to clear the tire - and put a little more muscle into starting the spin. Otherwise it’s not that different.
Mostly it’s just that the 24 is a little more intimidating to try new stuff on, cause you’re two inches higher off the ground.
