mcspamhammer Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 The bike arrived today. I'm rubbish I've been playing around on it for the last hour and I'm knackered. Mind you I never expected it to be easy so I'm not disappointed in my lack of ability. If you have to work hard to achieve something the success is much sweeter.

psycholist Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) Fundamentally life is pain ... At least you'll have got something for it/be able to explain it if you're sore from messing around on a trials bike ...I love my Echo Control - it's the best trials bike I've ever owned, but then again I haven't owned a lot of 100% specific trials bikes - up till a few years ago I still used MTB's modified to be suitable for trials...

sstein Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 ... you lasted an hour!!! Doing better than us then Speak for yourself. My fun sessions normally last somewhere between 4 and 14 hours with the higher end often being weekends. You really feel like dying after two 14 seshs in a row.

Jitters Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hell yeah, Hammer away at the basics a little every other day*. Rejoice in the minor achievements and you will grow. Soon the minor accomplishments turn into big stuff. Such is the way, grasshopper.Keep at it, mate. I've been doing terrible for months and I refuse to give up. Realistically, I'm probably doing fine, but I am only comparing myself to the big time stuff I see on Youtube and Vimeo.*Unless rainy days are approaching then ride the hell out of it.

I'm blowing out me arse after an hour. (but then I am still crap) It seems the better you get the less effort it takes.
