Oli Smith Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Yeah! It started with motocycle trials and the little kids who couldn'nt ride moto learnt the balance and feel on a cycle then moved onto moto with the gas. Basically just to get the feel, balance and technique..Oli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hI-OOPS-CAPS Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 i think Ot Pi father wanted Ot Pi to learn but with only mototrials being about they made a trials bike which was more suitable for them to learn on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 I think 'what was the first trials bike' and 'how was trials invented' are two different things.No one person would have invented trials. It'll just have been people all over who got bored of xc riding and tried getting over obstcales instead.However, trials bikes would have come from the whole ot pi thingy correct me if i'm wrong.

Jsy Ben Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Yeh, believe it was Ot Pi's dads connections at Montesa that made the weird red bmx'y thing with a bashplate...believe thats how Monty came about too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
