  1. my number one tip would be to learn to time your approach to an obstacle
    in order that your cranks are in the right position when you reach
    this. To do this, find an empty stretch of road with a decent height
    curb. Ride along the road parallel to the curb, and try turning at the
    right time that your cranks are flat as you reach the curb, and you can
    either unweight enough to roll up it, or rolling hop clear up. Go down
    the street hopping on and off the curb, you can practise the timing on
    the way down to, to hop off the curb rather than just roll of it. Soon
    you'll learn how to alter you path when riding head-on to an obstacle
    to get your cranks right to power over it. This is very useful for
    clearing obstacles in your path.

  2. yeah as kington99 said use curbs, theyre the best place to start, then
    you can find slightly taller obsticals to jump onto. and then find
    something taller again and so on. pallets are great for this i think,
    as you can just keep adding more, and they can be arranged differently
    to make little trials courses too.
