Grant Hundley Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Nice find, glad to see trials is getting recognised in a good way. Rather than us seen as vandals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 so they never get moved on or told off?why's that?is bristol really that good to ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2sixstreet Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Its good to see an article like that. We are asked to move on from some places (usually private property) but not very often and theres a good variety of spots so we just go to one of them. Generally people stop and have a look, maybe ask a couple of questions etc. We've run into a few people not happy about what we are doing and threatened to call the police etc. Sometimes they turn up and say dont ride into anyone and watch out for needles in the leaf litter etc.I dont understand why the small minority of the public have issues with people enjoying themselves.

Grant Hundley Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) is bristol really that good to ride?Bristol is mint for riding! Theres just so much there...I dont understand why the small minority of the public have issues with people enjoying themselves.Some people enjoy drugs.. I bet you'd have issues against a load of tramps taking heroin and leaving all their needles and mess at your favourite riding spot?We ride up walls etc and sometimes cause damage to these walls... Why should we be allowed to damage walls because we enjoy it?Don't get me wrong.. I hate it when we get kicked off places, but I do understand why people see us as a nuisance.

steve@banbury-trials Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 thats wicked,good to see some positive limelight.only issue i have is that we these guys should have been listed as trials riders,and a sly remark concerning no indoor falicities are currently availiable just a hint like.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
