 The
pallet is probably one of the most common and versatile things
you can use to practice trials. They can be stacked and arranged
in an infinite number of ways, providing a challenge for anyone
from the lowliest beginner to the world champion. They are
almost the perfect size, just small enough that maneuvering
on one is tight, but still big enough to provide a decent
base. Set two on the ground with a gap to practice moving
the bike forward from a standstill. Stack them to practice
your ups. Drop off them, either forwards or with a side hop.
Practice pivoting the bike diagonally across them. Use your
imagination and you can spend hours with just a couple pallets.
Acquiring a pallet is not too hard either, just go your local
industrial area or loading dock and just ask the friendly
folks if you can have one. Often the older ones are getting
discarded anyways, just replace a board or two and you're
all set.
