Hello, I'm new on this forum, cause I'm a French rider, and I arrived in Edinburgh two days ago for studies.

I ride an Ozonys XR 26 inches, and I have been riding for 9 years.

For the moment, I leave in a friends flat in Broughton road, and I'm searching for my own flat.

But if someone wants to ride with me, there is no problem, just send me an e-mail.

Bye!

Haidyhoo!

So, where do I start.

I'm a Norwegian guy, living at the West coast of Norway. More specific, Haugesund. I am just about to turn 19, but it's never to late to start with trials, eeyh?

At the moment, I don't have a trials bike, but I'm currently in the process of buying one. Who knows what bike i'll end up with.

So I'm just practicing balance and some bunnies on my dirt bike.

I'm currently an apprentice, to become an Electrician. After that, I'll probably go University for an Engineering degree.

Also doing Ju-jitsu as another hobby, and find that very exciting.

Well, cheers for now. You'll hear more from me.

Hello, I'm Steve and I don't ride trials. I'm into mountain bikes - trail and DH type stuff - and have been for about five years or so. I really only signed up so that I could add some information to a thread which contains links to my maintenance blog, but some of the topics in the Chit-Chat forum have caught my eye, too. Anyway, nice site you guys have going on here; from what I've seen so far it has a good vibe to it. Maybe I should start riding trials!!

Hi i'm chris,

I'm new to trials and am being taught how to ride by my mate phil. I've been riding for about a month now and am really improving.

At the moment i'm using an onza limey 3 that i borrow off my mate.

I also ride XC and AM. My other hobbies include bouldering, free-running and the occasional fishing trip.

I'm hoping to get my own bike soon hopefully something like an onza limey or an echo.

thanks for listening to me rant on.

chris.

Hi, I'm Tom.

I was introduced to trials by a really avid friend, and it's been about 6 months since then. I ride in Henley, Oxfordshire with the same friend about twice a week, as I don't get back from school until 6:30, and then I have to eat and do homework etc.

I'm riding a Saracen Flea 4, which I got for £250, although the RRP was supposed to be £900 =), so I really have the equipment I need (juicy seven on the front and an HS33 on the back, for example =)).

I like to think I'll stick with trials for as long as possible and I'm hoping to ride more; maybe I'll manage to find some time. Somehow ;)

Hi all,

My name is Graham, I live in Oxford and as of today I am the proud owner of a trials bike, an Onza T-rex with hydraulic brakes, bought used on Ebay for what I think was a reasonable price.

As a kid I always wanted a BMX but got a BMX annual for Christmas instead, boo. That was back in the days of steam radio and "pedals up". Since then I have kept an interest in cycling, I have a Rockhopper PRO MTB and a Ridgeback Genesis street bike. But the idea of doing "tricks" on bikes stayed with me and recently after watching a rather famous Scottish trials video on YouTube I started to wonder if it was practical for me to have a go, you see I am 31, 6'3" and not exactly stream lined (i.e. a bit of a FB.) Then I found a video of a 47 year old guy learning trials and I think there is no excuse any more.

My aim is to become the worst trials rider on the block, but at least I will be a trials rider not just a cyclist. If I see you riding trials around Oxford before you see me I will probably run away (or pedal if I am up to that stage by then) out of embarrassment so don't be offended :)

Step one, learn to not move anywhere, exciting :)

Ciao,

Graham

Hey my names Jordan Kitching, I ride an Onza Ice with some of the things from my old Onza T-Comp. I am 15 years old and I have been doing trials for around 4 years I did quit for around 2 years as I began playing football and did not have time to bike. I live in Kendal in Cumbria it is not a very good place for biking but I have learnt fine here, the weather is always terrible here as it rains and rains all the time, it is pretty annoying as when you are ready for a ride it may begin raining. Anyway if you want to post a comment on my profile then go for it. x

Hi,

I thought it be best to introduce myself.

I am Callum and I am based up in Abedeen. Relatively new to trials riding but been a big Mountain Biker for as long as I remember, as well as racking up the miles on the road bike. As I am hopeless at any sort of dirt jumping, I am slowing it down getting into trials riding. As my dad was into his motocross and motorcycle trails it was pretty much a given that some sort of two wheel gene was passed down through the line.

Been in the bike trade for more than 8 years now, and am encouraged by the amount of young talented trails riders kicking around Aberdeen, mostly riding 20" but its just a shame that none of the bike shops stock trials specific parts and we have to default to internet purchases.

If anyone is up for some riding, trials or other wise, get in touch. I know some good MTB routes up here and hopefully you guys can point out some gems for trials. As I am in the process of building up a 26" trials bike I am currently bikeless but hopefully within the next couple of months I will be up and running.

ALL THE BEST

Hey everyone.

I'm Tom. Went out riding last night with Andrew, Joel, Joe, Matt, Matt, Jack, Skoze and Laurence around London for a hardcore night ride session around London. Was an awesome night out. Managed to do this to myself riding Euston-

http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p10/reg...ise/SHINvag.jpg

Tasty.

2 hours later and I'm out of A+E all stitched up. Guess it's shin pads for me for a while now!

What else about me? I'm 23, living in London, Elephant + Castle, ride an echo pure with a 3metre wheelbase in need of some serious geo attention.

Enjoy the vaginal shin gore.
