Joe Sheehan! Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Pretty simple, do you still do trials or not? i see quite a few people on here who dont do trials anymore, and some that still ride bikes but not trials yet still use the forum, and i was quite interested about the trials to non-trials riding user ratio, so ermmm.......vote away kids!

Al_Fel Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I said yes but I haven't rode for ages. I am getting back into it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I've finally got the balls to start riding my bike, just doing some simple stuff at the moment like some front to back type stuff, but it feels nice, so far. Gonna do some gaps tomorrow. I'm gonna aim to ride half an hour a night in my room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 If you allow the seniors to vote like i just have, the outcome of this poll might be quite scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haz Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I keep meaning to buy a bike, and I will have one by the start of summer.Haven't ridden for like 2 years, still got a set of wheels and old Ashton Mk3 in the shed at home, but no one wants em because they're old fashioned, no one wants Mavic rims anymore...

Mooore! Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I had to take a break from trials last year after doing my back in & in that time we moved house. There's sweet F.A. to ride where we are now & it takes about 45mins to ride anywhere half decent (I ride a fair bit of XC so thats not a slow ride 45mins)We're moving back into town again soon so i'm getting excited about starting riding the trials bike again but I also started riding BMX about 2 months ago & am really psyched on that at the moment.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 54% actually ride... that's sad... and shocking. Maybe there needs to be a usedtoridetrials-forum. Been riding since 97, don't ride as much as I used to but still out a couple of times a week to keep the skillz New vid soon... hopefully.

Pashley26 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I ride my Pash' 3 miles to Jason's house every morning It's well fun because i have to go through a council estate, and theres the anti theft/chav traps wich are basicly 4 foot high s bends every 50 feet ! It's the best start to any day at work ! And i still get to hop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endofreak Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I haven't rode in just over a year but I still have an interest in the sport. How many of you watch football but don't actually play it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneakers O'Toole Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Just ride xc now. I was going to start riding trials again but i just couldn't be bothered in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Anwsered Yes because I still ride occasionally, but to be honest I've lost interest in it. Been looking for something new lately, need something a little bit faster.None of my close mates ride, so its a bit boring occasionally, but I'm riding with Tom this weekend which should get me back into it. I think I'm just growing a little tiresome of the whole sport now. I rode motorcycle trials from 7 to 16-17 and cycle trials from 17 until now.Always thought about going back into motorcycle trials because its something I enjoyed, and I was a hell of a lot better at it than I am at bike trials...but then again, I want to start fresh with something completely new.Although I know that if I quit and sell up, I'll regret it and miss by bike like hell...although it is summer soon, so when the weather picks up I'll be riding a lot more...never ridden the monsterboy in hot weather before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
