    The secret of improving your skills!

    Y0 guys!


    I start this thread to get some feedback of Top riders, how they became so damn good!

    I started playing Trials HD a couple weeks after launch. Unfortunatly just for fun, never was into Extreme Tracks and didn't even know that Ninja exists^^

    Since Evo is out, all i do is riding Ninja tracks, track after track, but i just don't get better!
    I'm watching replay after replay, (shout out to Clutchmysta, Soty, A7X, Killard and DannersMac ) what should give me least a bit knowledge about how to manage different obstacles but some how, i stay on the low level.
    Still, after month of riding Ninjatracks, i still can't beat lvl 2 and harder, bearly pass lvl 1, with least 50 or even much more faults.
    A lot of riders say, "just practice" but i don't see any improvement


    so, have YOU TOP RIDERS done, to get really good???? i'm not trying to get on the same level, but i least wanna be able to complete lvl 2 and 3 tracks ; )



    Ok, give it to me!^^

    I'm not a top top rider, but one way to improve could be to build some really hard obstacles that you are struggling with into the editor, then try them on the actual track Don't know if it will help, just a thought.

    If you are struggling on a specific obstacle then watch the replay on that one obstacle in slow motion multiple times. Don't just watch the bike and rider, but also what they do with the controls. If you are still having trouble build a similar obstacle in the editor and keep making it harder until you are comfortable. Take your time and make sure you get it right. Once you learn that technique then move onto the next one. If you are like me after you learn the techniques take them to the next level, meaning do them as fast as you can.

    Yeah, that is an good idea, but i failed at makin a good technical obstacle, cause i don't know what exact technique is nessecary to pass it, so i'm never sure how to build it^^ but i'm gonna try it

    what i'm doing is, first i watch the riders movement (allways in slow-mo, LOVE that function) and then i focus on the controller movement in slow-mo^^ basicly i know what to do, but i'm still not able to pass.
    the biggest problem i have with this typical obstacle where you have a ramp up, and then a plate on top, where you have to smash your backwheel against to then get up^^ idk if you know which one i mean

    im gonna build some obstacles and try it like you said, i think that should work : )


    i tried just for fun one of your "Bizzare" obstacles^^ god, crazy ****!

    Try building a really difficult ninja track. The very fact that you will be testing each obstacle hundreds of times is great practice.

    i'm not a top rider but I've finished some hard ninja tracks. And to become a good ninja rider it takes dedication and playing mostly hard ninja tracks. The hardest track i've finished " Lynx lake inferno" Took me about 15 timeouts. There is no secret, play a lot of ninja tracks. Push your limits.

    try watching people that are further down the leaderboards the person that has 15-20 faults on ninja tracks learn from his/her mistakes then have a try

    If your talking about hangover obstacles then I think I know why you are having troubles. The most common mistake is to start spamming X right as you back wheel hits. When you do that you are hitting the throttle while your back wheel is touching it and since you are somewhat upside down it will send you backwards. If you hold the brake until your back wheel is not touching the bottom of what you are trying to get up and then start spamming X then will find much more success.
