This is a pretty interesting topic with alot of views and opinions Where to start... Well in my opinion I would love to see alot more riders. Where some people have said they don't want it to grow too big I can appreciate your feelings on that matter, but for me it doesn't matter how many people ride trials as long as I still enjoy the sport as much as I do. I go out ride with a bunch of mates and I have been to a few comps in scotland and just have such great enjoyment out of it. Numbers don't matter to me as far as riding. As they say the more the merryer. I feel its a shame that there is not alot of knolage about trials, I live in a town in scotland that attracts quite alot of tourist they always stop and watch and some of the more keen ones always ask about the bikes and how many people do it ect. If people at extreme sports and other channels were contact maybe when the worlds was on ect, infact when any event was on! "there is a bike comp on in 3 months time there should be a big turn out do you fancy coming along?" then the sport could be on tv more. Maybe people have tryed doing this, I haven't read all the post on this topic and I don't know if some of the event organizers have already tryed this. Another thought on media coverage was companies like redbull... they sponsor vincent hermance and a few other riders. Could they not try and get them in an advert for redbull a bit like the snickers one where they have the bmx, free running ect. Would be good to see the sport grow in two ways, 1. Having alot more riders both at comps and just in general like street riding. 2. having it on tv & making it more of a knowen sport so people can say ohh I saw people doing this on tv you are very good ect.
