SAM69 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 HI,i would like to no why so many of you love rideing trials bikes? have you road mtb or some other sort of bike before,or is the skill or the goal/good feeling you get when you have climbed or dropped of that wall etc,?i just thought it would be good to see why you turned to trials?

anzo Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I started riding motorcycle trials when I was 7, and stopped when I was 18. I bought a t-pro when I was about 16 just for something to do. Gets a bit boring riding the same thing on a motorbike, you're restricted to off-road.But changing was pretty much the same thing but on streets, which is all good. Although now I'm getting a bit tiresome of it; thinking of going back onto motorbikes though now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladd Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 done jump biking and I started doing trials on that then I got a trials bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamness™ Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Used to do some XC. I live in the middle of nowhere and being 16 can't drive so I started to cycle everywhere. Saw a mate doing trials and thought, I could do that. So I tried some on my XC bike and enjoyed so I bought a T-Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 When I was 8 I got a bmx, then rode that for about 4 years until it collapsed, then I got my Trek 220, it was nothing like those pics, it only has the same frame, fork and stem now.I rode that on jumps, skateparks, XC, a bit of trials, then I decided XC was my calling, so I got one of those, rode XC until I was 14. I bought a BMX at the same time, a 16kg Mongoose Villain.I think I then got my first motorbike, but my Scott may have come first I can't remember.Then I sold the BMX and the xc bike and got my Scott YZ0 when I was 14/15, which I rode abolutely everything on.I bought my T-Pro in october last year, cracked it in january then had two months saving for my Zona frame.A lot of time on, and more upgrades than I can remember, I have the two bikes in my sig!

Endohopper Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 All the expense , patience and accidents are worth the brief seconds when a move is performed correctly and effortlessly . The resulting release of endorphins binding with presynaptic areas of the brain causes a feeling of elation and stops me killin' hookers .

vinny.p Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Ive always rode trials but ive always had brief lapses were ive rode trails on a bmx though, but found that with british weather being as unpredictable as it is the trails were only properly rideable for about a month out of the year so now im sticking to trials.And i love when people stand and stare with their jaws on the floor when your riding a rail or something.

stuie Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 its the task to do something....the fact you can look at something and say i can get up there on a bike....i done dirt jumping ad bmxing but with that its all about speed and guts, where i find trials is about skill and passionwanting to do it is the goal in trials and wanting to improve....nothing to do with speed, its all bout skillstuie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
