Bionic Balls Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 just wondering what all the trials superstars do from day to day- like job wise?they can't make enough riding seatless bikes surely EG: akrigg works in aire valley...what do kenny, vince, coustelliers, caisso, danny b, ohler, tra...(and all the rest of course!) do during the days?adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 At a guess Kenny is fully pro and Vince doesn't have to do anything because his dad owns Koxx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Perhaps more importantly, what will they do when their riding 'career' is over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Nothing, I guess. Work within the industry, somehow? It's why it always seems weird how parents take their kids out of school just to ride trials (e.g. Gilles Coust?). If you properly f**ked your ACL up in your leg, for example, you could be out for upwards of a year. If you did anything more serious than that, it could be career ending, and then you're left with no qualifications, and nothing to do (apart from "working in the industry", but the trials industry is tiny to be fair, with not a lot of scope open to you).
