Hello To All

My name is Tom and I am 29 from Lincolnshire. I have recently bought a bag of bit and a T-Mag frame, I am now in the process of building it.

I have never done cycle trials before, however I use to do motorcycle trials as a schoolboy. Can't wait to complete the bike so I can ride it.

Speak to you all soon

Tom

Hey! Im Jake, I'm 19 and from Cleckheaton. i ride mod - Zona Zip frame, Monty wheel set/tyres, Echo BB/cranks/forks, GU bars and Magura HS33 front and back. Iv just started riding again and tend to ride Brighouse, Cleckheaton and Leeds when i get the chance. My main riding partner is Bronz from on here who lives in the centre of Leeds.

Here are a few pictures from our rides please add feed back because I really want to improve :) The photos are taken by Bronz/CCS Wizardry. The moves are not spectacular but its a start i feel.

Hey,

Im Rick, Im 23 and ride a zoo pitbull. I used to ride trials ALL the time but had a bit of a car accident and lost the end of my very valuble right index finger! ..so i havnt riden properly for about 2 or 3 years now. My finger still hasnt grown back :-(

When i used to ride with my old mates I had done for about 4 or 5 years, but they have all sold there bikes and/or gone away to uni or other parts of the country now for stupid 'career' reasons and stuff... but i really wanna get back into riding and dont know anyone who rides anymore around me...

I live near shibden park in Halifax, West Yorkshire, but iv got a car so id be willing to travel far and wide to go riding, especially now the summers here! So if you live in or around west yorkshire and have got any decent rides planned, PLEASE let me know and ill tag along!

Hope to speak to someone soon!

Rick x

Hi all, I'm Ash Not only new to the forum but also new to the world of trials so I'm a complete newbie :closedeyes:

I just got my first trials bike midway though this month. I have no idea what bike I have, but the guy I bought it off thought it's T-Pro.

Any ideas what it maybe?

Hi my name's Douglas and I'm just beginning to get into trials. Been riding mountain bikes pretty much since they were invented, and have always liked hopping around on them. Just got a DB Kabuki Mono which I'm currently trying to get to stay on it's back wheel....very much work in progress (I see people here don't hold DBs in high regard - at least that lets me blame the bike for the moment!).

The forum seems a really useful place for a newbie to get information and I've been scouring it for tips.

Cheers

Douglas

PS I'm 30 so plenty old too!

Hi everyone, my name is André and I live in Southport in the North West of England. I am in my mid 20's and I have just got back into trials after about 6 years of not riding. I messed my shoulder up and I also broke my leg, and shortly after this I started working long hours and got a car.

Anyway all of that is behind me now (apart from the shoulder complaint) so i'm back on my bike again.

I ride stock and i'm rather out of touch with the current scene and the latest technology, so i'm trying to learn what new parts are out there and what manufacturers are making the best quality components now. My bike is around 8 years old and a little heavy, but it seems to be in good working order.

I'm also looking out for any riders in my area as it would be great to ride with a few people again (any skill level, I don't mind). There used to be a little group of us here but i've lost touch and I think everyone else I knew has long since packed it in now?

Anyway I look forward to getting in touch with some riders and learning about the latest kit.............I just wish it would stop raining here so I could go out and ride!

Many thanks,

André

Hello folks,

After much debating i finally went and ordered my bike this afternoon, hopefully it will be with me in a week or two.

I'm 26, from Belfast and haven't been on any sort of bike in quite a few years. I used to enjoy Mountain Bike's and had the odd BMX many moons ago.

However after watching a few videos on youtube, mainly that of Mr Macaskill, I thought i'll never know unless I try it out....

Obviously i'm aware i'll be poop on the bike for a while, but i tend to pick things up pretty quick so i'm hoping to be competent quickly enough :P

I decided to go for an Onza bike (Comp 09), after a couple of recommendations and I didn't really have to time or relevant knowledge to try and custom build one.

So that's about it, now i'll go and troll the forums to try and pick up some more information :D

Hey, I'm Sam

I arn't riding a trials bike yet, decided to join here to get advice before I bought one :P will be getting a 26" as soon as my junk sells on ebay :) I might have been getting one sooner but I broke my brothers bike jumping off a wall that was about 1' high... I mean... It's supposed to be a jump bike and the derailleur and a spoke broke after only a 1' drop -.-

Starting uni in September at Newcastle with Computer Science :) but hopefully I'll still be able to fit a lot of practice in, hoping to meet some other people there that also do trials :) but at the moment I'm in Scarborough :P

Trials looks almighty fun :) :)
