Also i can't drive and am 9 times out of 10 unable to afford many train journeys plus food and drink. im in exactly the same position, now im riding a reasonable amount of natural and have completely changed the way my bike ride to liven things up. but street is soo boring now. get an evening job, buy new bike bits, and be able to pay for train tickets or even a car? i find its also very important to keep good company with trials, im lucky i have prawn, dan walker, alex, pip and loads more. dont take trials so seriously and have a laugh.EDIT: im also trying to trade my spare bike for a short mod, so i can bunnyhop to the moon and have some fun on a bike completely different Edited July 26, 2007 by ash-kennard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidehop Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 (edited) Defo Ash, i am always joking about and riding for fun.Ive rode stoney natural to the death. and its tide permitting.

trial-biker-ryan Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Watch trials vd, try somthin gnew and stick to that, once you nail that move you have been trying so hard to do, it feels great awsome for motivation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex.loves.boys Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Be more creatvive.instead of just sidehopping a wall, manual into it, then sidehop then 180 off.whatever.just do something on a wall then add stuff into it, to make it a "line" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocktrials Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 reason why i sold my bike and stopped riding......no local riders.i started to find it so boring riding alone, i wouldn't go anywhere, just out on the kerbs....seems to be with most things, its boring unless you got mates to do it with too, like a computer game, can be fun playing online with mates, without, its crap.

Greetings Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Got exactly the same problem, been out riding no more than 6 times since the beginning of June, and if i do go out, i prefer to sit around on a wall rather than ride. Was even thinking of changing to XC or Road, but just couldn't be bothered to get a bike. Basically i just can't stand riding the same spots in the same order and doing the same stuff on them. What would probably help us is a change of frames or bikes. Can't think of anything else, unless there are any rocks in your area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I was riding in Milton Keynes the other day, and instead of trying to go bigger, I just played about on small stuff. Like banks and things.Doing the most tech' stuff I could.My back brake wasn't working that great, and my shin and knee hurt from snapping my chain, and slamming my mates pedals in to my shins, but I still had a really good day.Was riding my mates bmx too, and was just manuelling everywhere!

Danny Kearns Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I quit because:I had to ride on my own = I.e - boring.Riding the same places.Doing the same stuff.To be perfectly honest. Trials does get boring. It's so repetitive.To be honest. I don't think ill ever get another bike.Danny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Aidan.There is hundreds of things for you to ride in aberdeen, there is still stuff to ride in stoney. Find new places, try new lines, ride more natural. There is always a chance to get better.....go bigger....go further, i think your just being a little pessimistic. Change your style, dont get a stock your just going to ride the same style on. Here is a map of places in aberdeen - http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/wiki/Aberdeen - there is loads of stuff i have missed, and i can countless spots where there is stuff i know u can't do, with different moves etc etc.Just get out and ride you big fanny.Get a job and get out into aberden more. u know ull love it.p.s im going to do a map of stoney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Evil1 Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I think this happens to every rider from time to time.I've been riding 11 years now and sometimes i want to ride everyday all day not stop, other times i wont touch my bike for a week.Just the way it is. But if you dont feel like ridng dont force yourself to, it will only make it worse!Just have some time off, try and find new things to ride even if it is just a kerb, it will help.Dont ride just to improve,just have a laugh, and ride for the sake of riding.It'll be ok man!! Dont quit!!Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkytrials Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Im affraid ill have to agree with the bmx comment+2i have ended up with 2 bmx's now,why 2 will you ask? f**K knows how i did it but i still have some money to toss about and my bikes are perfectly running so far so good at the moment.I quit because:i just got bored of the hoppy hoppy trialssame shit all the time was just too expensive,never had money and always had to borrow some off my mom for it to be fixed....which i didnt like doing.bmx is just alot better,theres just more stuff you can do.but yeah thats just my opinion.
