It is the same with motorcycle riding for Elliot. His riding has blossomed over the
last few weeks which can all be connected straight to the time he has spent learning
in the back garden. At OSET, we receive videos of other people riding, and
it is very clear to see the improvements; all of this is proving the benefits of the
electric bikes to gasoline counterparts. As we continue into these unprecedented
times, we encourage all riders to make the most of the time we have.
To help as much as we can, OSET has released Training videos featuring Oliver
and Elliot Smith that are a guide to the core techniques in Trials. All of these can
be done in the yard, with some even possible indoors. With these, riders can begin
on the route to proper techniques. Watching videos on YouTube is a great way
to grasp different ways of riding as well. Pat Smage, an avid OSET rider and 11x US
National Trials champion, also does a comprehensive guide to many of the techniques.
These can be found on the RYP YouTube page.
OSETS have been the foundation to many of the top national riders in the States.
Riders such as Josh Roper, Nigel Parker and Micah Hertrich have all progressed
from the OSET’s to top level riders. And more are on their way up!
