middleageman Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Hello, as the forum is like a ghost town today, I'm assuming every man and his bike is in 'the big smoke'. I didn't go myself, as I spent the money on my 1st Trials bike instead.But I'm sure, like myself, the forum members who couldn't attend would like to hear about the Trials event of the century! Was it as good as you expected? Did your Trials heroes live up to your expectations?Did you ride or just enjoy the spectacle? Did you meet many new 'faces behind the names' off TF?Who did you rate as a rider? Did anyone steal the show for you?Did you try out any cool bikes or equipment? Maybe leading to a change of heart, bike wise or other?Where were the best places to ride?Any equipment failures or injuries?Who was the most pissed, abusive and/or arrested?!!! You get my drift.... I would Love to hear your anecdotes and stories! middleageman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of riders.Then the southbank security following us all the way along.Then some guy(can't remember his name) riding round one in circles for ages with the squeaky brakes while he was "on the phone to the police".Then i F**ked my ankle. Ohwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrix Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 What was up with the drunk hobo? (if anyone encountered him?) - Was quite a person, 69p cider. Finally got some things down, although going over the bars at the end of the day was not what I'd planned on.So tired, but so worth it!
