Bike Trials Drop For Beginners: Your First Drop

Beginner bike trials drops are a big step forward with your trials riding and this drop tutorial video will give you all the tips to get over the edge for your first one! There are three different trials drop techniques you can use, each has its own time and place when you’re out riding - and I recommend learning all three - but start with the method that you’re most comfortable with, then work from there.
Just like I say with every other skill, start small with trials drops - you can learn perfect technique on curb-height obstacles and work your way up as you get confident. A rule of thumb that I went by when I first started was that I wouldn't drop off a ledge unless I could ride onto it first. That helped me from getting in over my head when I first started riding.
I referenced these two skills in the video, here are the tutorials for each one:
Pedal Kick: • How To Pedal Kick On Y...
Three Pedal: • The EASIEST Way To Lea...
I also made an older video about doing trials drops, which talks more about the variations, if you want to see that here: • How To Drop
