Bacon makes me look sexy... Oh trials right.. [sentimental] I ride trials because it keeps me fit, active, allows me to socialise with others similar to myself but mostly because I believe the very nature of trials reflects the sort of person I am: Abnormal, crazy, lightweight (11 stone ), original and against all forms of a 'normal life' I found football boring, rugby brutal, tennis wimpish, cricket slow, snooker lazy and swimming too relaxing. I needed a sport which was a great adrenaline rush whilst at the same time give me a great feeling towards my social life. Downhill is another choice for me, but its a wee bit pricey at the mo The are two reasons why I ride; either to 'train' or learn new moves/heights or when its a 'ride'. On the 'rides' I go out 80% JUST to socialise. I feel really comfortable with the rest of the guys here in north wales, and even when theres people I don't ride with often like the lee + adam (merseytrial), the yorkshire lads etc. I still feel a sense of friendship Its like I can be friends with any trials rider I meet. [/sentimental] I know thats not true though because I found out today that there are 2 chavs trying to take up trials in my school. Haha
