How Big Is Trials In Tour Area?

To be honest with you theres only about two trials riders, that i know of, in my area. People round here have absolutly no idea what trials is, they all think that my bike is some kind of deformed bmx/cross country bike with out a seat, it really annoys me. I always get comments off people like 'why did you buy a bike for that amount of money if it doesn't even have a seat?' they just generally do not know a thing about any kind of bike and its quite annoying.

Luckily im starting to get all of my mates into trials and there getting there mates into it , so the local area is slowly getting more and more riders :)

I no this is going completly off the point of wanting trials to become bigger than BMX/MTB etc..

But now i kind of get the feeling that i liked trials being different and being one of the only few with a trials bike, now its getting like all the same...

I walked along southend town centre and must of seen about 10-15 trials riders yesterday and just thought its becoming so popular that it wont be 'different' and 'unusual' pretty soon. It will be as common and regular as BMX and MTB

But on the other hand its really good having more and more people riding trials in out area as it means more people to ride with a that will mean a wider market of trials specific brands...therefire making it easier to get hold of parts you want.

Two ways of looking at it really :ermm:

Hi, I'm new, like...

Erm, so far I've seen about 8 trials riders in nottingham. I'm sure there's more, after all, it's the home of supercycles

It'd be nice to meet more riders around my age, especially because you learn better if there's someone to show you how to do it
