Have a search around for an old publication called "Observed Trials" by Len Weed. It's old but most all the techniques are still applicable and it's very well arranged. Last I heard "Whitehorse Press" still had a few copies.
I was in the same boat as you only a few years back. Nearing 40 (past now) and a lust for trials. However there was no trials clubs, riders or events within 10 hrs of me. Well, I jumped in anyways. With the help of the above mentioned book, some videos and tips from folks on-line I've progressed a long way from where I started. Still a LONG way from a Pro, but I sure have fun. I travel to events in New England and Quebec when I can and always have an absolute blast.
Without a doubt, the single best thing I've ever done for my riding in general. My riding improved almost overnight on my EC250. Only regret was not starting riding these things 25 yrs ago.
