Swamptin Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Well, I'm just starting trials at 22. If you'll pardon the pun, "It's just like riding a bike". Trials is one of those sports where you don't have to run big risks either. I mean, if you were talking of getting back into freeride, might be health and safety risk there. Trials, not so much, unless you fancy yourself as another Danny Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robster Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Bloody heck lads if you lot are old, you are making me feel the grandaddy of the sport at 36. Dig the bike out and have a bash, it hurts real bad but it is great fun. I ride with Waynio and he beasts me all the time for being and old git, but will he be riding with his son when he is my age, mmmmm? me thinks not. I refuse to grow up, my bod is getting a little rounder and slower but i can't give it up.welcome back whoever you are. See you next year at some comps eh!

Decade Ago Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 You should be validated.I'm just getting back into it at 23. It's kinda scary though because I'm terrified of injuring myself again.I was thinking about this the last few days, Im not overly concerned if I hurt myself anymore. Im sure its linked to the whole proving yourself thing. When I was young I wanted sponsership and wanted to be the best trials rider in the world. I was always practising the smaller more technical moves rather than leaping off 12 ft drops and riding huge gaps like my mates and hated the thought of any major injury. Now Im older and have been out of riding for years. I know Ill have the basics but by todays standards Ill be shit. Im not bothered though, I have nothing to prove anymore, this is all about having a laugh with my mates again and being able to forget about worries at work and life in general. Just like the old days when my main concerns were if I was going to snap my bars or how I would afford a new Hs33. No women, cars, money or jobs to worry about! Bliss.In the same respect, to make any progress with my slow fat arse Im going to hurt myself. That is a fact that Ive happily accepted to be honest.Bring the pain!

Lawnmowerman Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I mean the reason I'm only just coming back into it is because I tore my knee ligaments and had to quit. Dunno what I'd do if I did it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
