kyle-livesey Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Well was on train by my self so obviously got bored and was looking at my bike, and it hit me don't you think trials is amazing. I have been riding now for 2 and a bit years, and it just struck me how we can do such stuff on a bike, almost like it would be another limb on our body. I can side hop 46 but even anything smaller is impressive if you think about it, and others like tapping don't get how we use a technique that enables us to get up a wall easily.Different to the above, don't you think that technology has grow so much from use 5 6 years ago riding a xc bike for trials. Now we have specialist company's that churn out loads of technology in proved bikes. And also like machinery that makes these products like frame there all the same, how like how do they do it (if any videos of factory making bike would be interesting as i don't start work until October) how do they make things so small that you could practically hit it with a sleg hammer and i wound brake just think it so amazing.thanks for reading what i have wrote, and hope you don't think i was i a waist of time.

joewhite Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Yer i'd love to see how the frames were made and things. Also i see what you mean, to a passer by a kickhop is pretty impressive (to someone who'd never seen or heard of the sport). p.s sort you spelling and punctuation out your little essay is pretty illiterate.

Vee Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I actually agree thinking about it, im not that good but still. i use to think it was really impressive when i wasnt into it, now i am its more of a goal! watch dan mac and damon watson before i ride, their bikes are more like there index finger with total control. mine more of an ear, i can just about give it a wiggle lmaovee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I think trials has a edge over every other bikesport becuase of the whole backwheel thing.I mean, any other bikesport, you just need to know how to ride a bike, but with trials it has sooo much initail skills, it's impressive just to bounce on the back wheel, let alone gapping and sidehopping.

Muel Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I love the fact that I can do a lot of stuff on one bike, Skateparks, street, natural, whatever.I can also ride in the rain now, I have a disc out back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vee Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I can also ride in the rain now, I have a disc out back.Lol discs sound fun, Im thinkin bout gettin one on the front, might make learning g turns easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 It has to be one of the most versatile sports out there; all you need is a flat bit of tarmac and you can go.... and nearly all the skills you learn in trials can be used in whatever other forms of riding you do......I agree it is really amazing to think how far trials has come from using cantis on an xc frame with a stupidly long stem, to the super light weight, specific bikes we ride now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrOcKeR Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Yes its impressive to people who have never particapted in the sport, but man people just think ahh how good does that look, not i really want to do that with my bike. We need something to help the sport grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Flatland bmx i'd say takes alot more time to get. But trials requires 'bottle' if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I think trials takes the most skill out of any style of bike riding! Plus seeing how the frames are made would be pretty cool as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Kench Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 You couldnt be more rite about a year and a half ago i thought a single backhop was amazing, now bike trials is my life it all i do in my spare time n i love it.

OHumphreysO Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 i love it how you can be on the edge of danger but completely in control, always trying new stuff and pushing what you think is possible a little further and that does'nt matter how good you are, doing something new always feels the same. awsome!!

Adam L Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 I just think it's great how people progress through the sport and learn new techniques, as the first guy said its bloody good how the bikes are used in such an amazing way. I used to do parkour but decided to do something different so i chose trials as it isn't that popular in Doncaster. Just starting and can't wait to progress.Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolo Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Well guys, can't agree with u much more on that one, the reason that I got into trials was from watchin a demo of danny butler, and it made me think of how good that would be if I could do it. Bike trials is most deffanetaly one of a kind!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountian goat Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) Yes it is incredible, i started trials because i was getting bored of your everyday mountain biking, i started using my MTB to do crappy stoppies hops and wheelies and the next thing i newits an entire sport sweeping the nation. Your knowledge of trials simply grows along with your skill and bang, your two feet turn into a light weight bike.

Ash-Trials Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Its just the best, pushing yourself to the limit and getting better everyday. The adrenaline from a good line is something you cant beat.Ash~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoomaster Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 (edited) Flatland bmx i'd say takes alot more time to get. But trials requires 'bottle' if you like.Yep i used to do flatland its so hard to master, but well worth being able to do took me like 3 years to get it some of it lol. I've found trials to be the most freestyle bike ridin there is you can do anything, anywhere just because of the the way trials is & plus your back wheel, whatever you want to do trials lets you do this. on a fat bike and the (birds) public love it.
