My first steps on Trial bike | GasGas TXT 280

[@066motocross]

Hello friend 😊 I really don't think you give yourself enough credit. For just starting out that was awesome riding. I'm 59 years old and just put a deposit on a 2023 Gas Gas TXT 250. I just won a long painful battle with cancer and I'm weak from a month in the hospital. Knowing that I'm getting the bike is therapeutic for me. It's making me build my strength back up looking forward to riding it. Great video! Stay safe

[@AMelnikovs]

Hello, good to hear you're back on your feet, wish you great experience on your TXT 250🙂

[@roywilson1703]

Good for you , all the best with your recovery . I've got a 1999 GasGas 250 cc . 68 year old Scots git who still thinks he's 20 F.F.S. !

[@StanleyKubick1]

for a first timer, that was insanely good. I'd never clear those tractor tires on my first day

[@AMelnikovs]

Trial is a new experience for me, maybe first steps is little bit easier for me because I have quite big motocross experience

[@sobeit1927]

I’ve been riding for a year and I would not even attempt those tyres , I can feel the pain from here . I am nearly 60 though and don’t bounce like I used to .

[@mikefruin]

Very cool, I was smiling the whole time, just watching you have fun. Cheers!

[@AMelnikovs]

Tanks, nice to hear it

[@TonyPasquino]

Your wheelies are great to watch; I really need to be able to get my front wheel up high. You make it look easy.

[@devindunn2575]

I also bought a new gas gas two weeks ago. Our weather has been atrocious, so it sits in the basement and I’m learning to balance. More snow and wind is coming this weekend also. I’m subscribed to your channel now. Thank you.

[@AMelnikovs]

Trial is a very interesting motosport, and what is very important it's no need a lot of space for training and it's silent enough also

[@AMelnikovs]

Thanks for your subscribe

[@stmboat]

You are naturally talented and gifted. Throw in all those years of experience and you have an adept rider. You made it look like you had 50 hours of practice.👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@edwards8383]

Awesom I used to ride trials when I was a kid. You are skilled rider. I am sure trials will be easy for you.

[@AMelnikovs]

Thanks

[@mullrump2]

great work my man...looking forward to seeing your progress....

[@AMelnikovs]

Thanks

[@4057hofft]

You are doing a great job. Keep it UP 🙂

[@AMelnikovs]

Thanks

[@offroad3607]

You’re a natural, keep it up.

[@balazscsallo]

that was a nice ride, thanks for the english video!

[@matthewdelap5404]

Great job dude !

[@alinn.4341]

Looks fun!

[@sobeit1927]

Fantastic riding for a beginner . My guess is that you have done a considerable amount of enduro or motor cross and that you are very competent . I’ve been riding for over a year and I cannot do half of what you do . I also reckon that now, 2 years on , you are pretty damn good .

[@AMelnikovs]

Hi, I have quite big motocross experience, probably that's why it's little bit easier for me

[@Unfunny_Username_389]

whoah - bloody good!!!

[@cedec1]

my first bike when i lerned drive on whelie nice bike helo from poland

[@robertesposito9871]

You did pretty good for a beginner

[@AMelnikovs]

Thanks

[@kerrydunn7760]

Yep well done you it will be a few crash’s before I learn the art of not falling off 😊

[@MatteoTortello_com]

Trial is the best sport ever!!!

[@krazed0451]

Push the front wheel into the obstacle about 3/4 up for a double blip, it will give your rear wheel more lift :-)

[@AMelnikovs]

Thanks, I will try

[@krazed0451]

@@AMelnikovs Very simplistic explanation, look for a video on "stuffing" with a trials bike :-) Love the videos!

[@dedelele1991]

Hi! Good video! What percentage of oil are you putting in the gasoline? What's the name of the front suspension? Thank you!

[@AMelnikovs]

I'm using approx 2.5% oil, front fork Marzocchi

[@dedelele1991]

@AMelnikovs wow your bike Is good because doesn' t make smoke at all....normally 2,5% it's a lot for me . I use 1,7%. I have marzocchi too, same problem with the springs

[@eMaProVaeth]

Very good boy! 😮

[@68M35A2]

Awesome

[@ЛёняПантелей-ц2ь]

Просто КЛАСС!

[@НиколайМолчанов-в2к]

Super!

[@ianhiggins6203]

Dude! How many hrs?? that was awesome! great training ground too.

[@AMelnikovs]

Hi, overall i think not more then 10-11 hours Thanks

[@ВладимирКуропаткин-р8о]

Мерседес, это тоже часть трассы?

[@PrimalEnduro]

I have the feeling this was not his first rodeo! If so, he's going to be better than Toni Bou next year!

[@AMelnikovs]

It's not so easy, it's some basics stuffs maybe little bit easier because I have pretty big experience on dirtbike

[@PrimalEnduro]

@@AMelnikovs Well you definitely have skills! I have 20 years experience on an enduro bike and I'm picking up a trials bike very soon. I should wish to be as good as you are in just a few rides!

[@krazed0451]

Do you still have the trials bike, still riding it? :-)

[@donalfredoconforti2185]

Per 4 volte sei molto bravo o la moto è buona

[@AddictedtoProjects]

Said he rode only 4x times, and then proceeds to cleanly wheelie over all obstacles.... Mind blown!! 😵‍💫😱😲🤪

[@julianlaustsen1991]

seems like u have previous bike experience, impressive anyway if this is only after 4 practices.

[@AMelnikovs]

I have quite big motocross experience

[@julianlaustsen1991]

@@AMelnikovs yea that helps alot

[@Koznii]

Забросил триал ?

[@alexandremarino2003]

Now call the moustache sir and borrow him the bike. I'm curious...

[@tim_tout_court4244]

Bruv I have the exact same gasgas but it's a 125

[@AMelnikovs]

👍 nice

[@dalepetersen6533]

You sir have many many hours on a dirt bike. Maybe not a trials bike but....................................

[@AMelnikovs]

Yes, I have quite big motocross experience

[@jasonluhmer4792]

4th time no way unless you come from an enduro or MX background I have ridden with 100s of beginners and your body position, clutch and throttle control are not that of someone who has only ridden 4xs. (if it is true, you should stick with it because you are a natural

[@AMelnikovs]

Hi, I have quite big MX background, I think that is the reason why it goes faster in the first steps

[@uncletom1971]

I have also bought a trials bike, a 2012 Beta Evo 300, and I'm nowhere near as good as you.

[@henningsteensgaard7354]

it's a 2009

[@Deezle_Gaming]

Correct, they went to the tubular frame in 09.

[@dedelele1991]

Yes i have one likes that but it's 300 pro raga, great bike

[@garytompkins2116]

Need to get yourself some better head protection. That looks more like a skateboard or cycle helmet, and not designed for trials.

[@AMelnikovs]

Yes, it's my cycle helmet, and boots also is for motocross not for trial, in our country is hard to get something for trial, don't have anything on site for it
