Your teaching technique is spot on! Love these videos. I have found exactly the same as you where most of the online stuff, the riders are so good that they don’t understand what they do, they just do it. I’m an ex British Champion road racer and club champion enduro rider, but in trials, very much a clubman rider trying to learn and teach my kids. As such, the way you’re breaking this down is perfect for me. 
Tom, your videos demonstrating techniques from your perspective and personal journey in Trials are not only refreshing but key on different details and methods to progression. No one else has done this. Thanks again and keep up the good work!!
 
You are extremely good at breaking it down into small steps that lead to a big outcome at the end. I really like your way of teaching, it's very easy to understand,
Dude!! Awesome sauce, your breakdown of learning is very helpful. I always find it more helpful watching real people riding and learning than the pros. The pro tips are good, but overload. Drilling is key. My 1st two years, I just showed up and rode. Now drills and cones, and it helps keep the score down and the fiasco's away!!! Keep it up!

Very well done Tom. I think I learned more from your teaching than I have from any other video regarding clutch control. Most of the "pro" riders have just learned to do some of the moves so well that they are unable to tell exactly what it is they are doing. Your videos where you actually miss are as good of a teaching moment at anything. Don't edit those out. I loved it.

Breaking things down into smaller details. I have training dvds and have watched YouTube tutorials as well, but you spend more time on slow mo and small details which I find helpful. I think the pros, by the time they’re offering lessons, do so much by muscle memory and subconsciously without thinking, that they gloss over the small movements because they don’t even realize they’re doing them.

Hi, I'm Tom Trantow - Trials Enthusiast. I started documenting my journey in trials as a way to help others. The feedback I got from the trials community helped me realize the service I could provide by going into more detail with my successes and even failures.

For anyone who loves learning and growing in their trials skills and wants to dive deeper - You are my people. 

Maybe you are like me.

When I 1st got my trials bike, all I wanted to do was go ride. I felt like a kid again. I remember trying to wheelie until my forearm pump was too much to continue riding. All I wanted to do was get better. I had lots of ambition, but little direction. I would watch YouTube videos and go out and try over and over again to do techniques that were well outside of my ability. I got frustrated and doubled down on my learning. I studied professionals in their moves. I took a Ryan Young Class, attended Trials Training Days at the Trials Training Center and had an online Coach - Neil Price. I knew there had to be way to train that would produce the internalized results where things would start to be "easy" like it appeared for all those pros.

Being a former College Volleyball player and coach, I decided to figure out what each part of my body was supposed to be doing. If I could break down just what the throttle hand was doing and drill it again and again. I knew that I could then add in the clutch. I began putting together little drills that would allow these movements, with each of my extremities, to become muscle memory. Then my mind was freed up to focus on the next part of the move. All this layering in of the foundational elements produced a quick learning curve. Things got easier faster. My confidence grew and my skills progressed quickly. I started sharing all these different drills and it appeared that the community wanted more skills breakdowns as well.
