Chandler Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Anyone got any videos or pics of ancient trials? Was it about in the 80s?I found this http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0rEqqP8uO8Eand I think its hilarious! They look like morons, but they are doing quite well for such crap bikes though (how are the bikes not falling apart!?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_Thibeau Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) I think its really amazing to wach old school trials, the style have changed alot, and there really were no trials bikes, you just took what you had and rode it, and i think most of us could do these sections quite easily, The hight that trials has come to now is amazing. One thing more to say though, i hope it never get super popular, because i love how unknown trials is, it makes me somwhat unique. Edit: for the ot pi vid, you gotta love the front fork and the raised seat lol, iv never seen a bike like that, guess its one of the first 20" trials bike?

cwbashaw Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 A few weeks ago I gave away a 1988 Haro response which was one of the first production trials bikes. Believe it or not Michelin and Pirelli made trials specific tires back then. In about 1986 Ibis was making a 24" rear with a 26" front wheeled trials bike. Before that I believe it was mostly just modified bmx bikes.http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c172/cwb...0stuff/Haro.gifhttp://www.firstflightbikes.com/1987_Ibis_Trials_Comp.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
