Not everyone can get on a trials bike and instantly ride like world champion Toni Bou . In fact , we ’ d wager that trials riding is one of the most intensive , yet fun , skills-based ways you can possibly ride competitively . GasGas knows this and is embarking to help riders build their trials skills with a new video series to do just that . The GASGAS Trial Guides as the series is called brings a ‘ how-to ’ style of video tutorials to the internet for riders to develop and master essential new skills , for free on YouTube or GasGas . com . Hosting the series is GasGas Factory Team Racing Manager , Albert Cabestany , himself a former Spanish champion . GasGas has aimed the series at anyone with an interest in trials , so no matter if you ’ re a newcomer to the seemingly weird and wonderful world of stand-up motorcycle sport , or an experienced toplevel trial competitor looking to improve further , GasGas is developing videos to cover the entire spectrum of skills . “ We believe everyone can benefit from learning and improving their trial riding skills ”, GasGas ’ press release on the videos reads . “ As well as being super enjoyable , mastering balance , understanding the importance of throttle and clutch control , and over time becoming a slow-speed bike handling wizard , are all skills that are fully transferable to other offroad disciplines , like enduro and motocross , and even street riding .” The first three videos are already live with more on the way so if you want to hone those stand up skills check them out at https :// www . youtube . com / user / gasgasmotos / videos
