The Stig Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Well, i knew about trials for a while (my brother use to do it on a scott !oldeskool!) but i really got into it cus of a friend. I had always been intregued but liked my hardtails too much then a nasty fall doing some downhill made me look for an alternative, sold up and here i am now a couple of months later loving it. It is really interesting to see hwo different sports help one another, go hand in hand (i use to do some street shizzle) My lil story anyone else?Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I watched one of dans videos, found out my dad new his dad, then added him on msn, then I got a bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I honestly can't remember, I think I was trying it on my jump bike a little bit. But I literally got £300 and bought my T-Pro, I didn't think about it much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 saw some random guy in padstow once on rocksthen met chris doney, he owned a huge warehouse filled with immense stuff to ride on, cars, pallets, cotton reels, car lifts, massive pipes, logs, everything.

Henrik Y Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I didn't know that trial with bicycle existed, and I wanted to do something else that no other could do in my town. So i started learn to hold the balance and swing around with locked brakes and hopping on the rear wheel with my full suspension bike. Then it was a kid that told me about bicycle trials and I checked it out on the internet and found a forum from Poland with some vids and started to look for a trial bike. Now I've been riding trials for almost 2 years and spent way to much money on bicycles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robonatomz Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 i saw ot pi doing a demo at shefield arena trial on video, thought his bmx looked a bit strange so i got a 32 tooth front ring on mine and started jumpin off stuff, then i had a jump bike with a bash ring on, and a few of us at school started jumping off stuff, then i met danny butler and he actually had a trials bike, soon as i saved up enough cash i bought one, and thatd it really, what a nice story!!rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tartan pixie Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Cos it's such a pain to get to the decent mtb spots from the center of glasgow if you're an eco head like me who refuses to buy a car. Started trials about a month ago and am really enjoying the over enthusiastic noob phase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt middler Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I got into trials because my older brother and one of his mates used to ride so when my brother got a new megamo I bought his Saracen X-ile off him and tagged along with them.

mcinnes Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I started trials because i used to ride dirtjump but then all my mates quit to ride trials so i did the same. dirt jump is boring on your own.McInnes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I started back in 1996 on a Raleigh Gritstone (First MTB I bought - hi tensile steel, rigid fork, 21 gears, canti brakes...). My house was one of the first to be finished in its estate, so I spent a lot of time riding over pallets, blocks and all sorts of other stuff in the building site around the house. A year or two later I discovered trials as a sport existed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Smith Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Used to go and watch my dad ride moto trials for the local club and I saw the odd guy or girl hopping up stuff, but when i saw someone else do it it looked really hard and I wanted to do it and now 8 months on Im hell of alot better than the guys are saw... Oh yer and Id just like to say about this guy i know, right hes a proppa badass got expelled from school and so on and when he used to come home from school hed just be a gay and like piss around on streets, causing mischief and that. But for his birthday his mum got him a cycle trials and like its changed his life (sounds dumb but it propper has) totally has, all he thinks about is trials, wouldnt even dare do mischief or owt cause trials is amazing. So when he comes home gets dressed and hes off out on thee bike.oli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil Jsy Chris Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I started riding over walls as soon as I could ride a bike almost. Then my dad got me an Ot Pi video and watched that to many times and rode more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 It was either because I saw 'Tricks & Stunts' or because I saw all the local riders, I don't know which happened first... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
