Help!


Recommended Posts

i really want to start trials biking it looks so fun and from what i have tried on my brakeless bmx its quite challenging and fun

but i dont have the money to buy a good new one and i dont want to sell my bmx

whats more i havnt even stepped on a trials bmx

are they alright for riding places? cos i have to ride like 2 miles just for the nearest good place to ride.. (lots of creats and random stuff :))

anyone know of any good starter trails bmx's under 250?

the only one i have found so far is a 26 inch DIAMONDBACK TEKIYA witch doesnt have a bash guard and has gears witch would be best if i were rideing but also very breakable places but im not too keen on the big wheels either..

any help?? plzzzzzzzzz

You will need to decide what type of Bike you want.

There are mod Bikes, which have a 20" Front wheel and a 19" rear wheel.

Mod bikes are easier to learn on, specialy if your small. They are nothing like BMX's to ride, despite how they look.

The downside of a Mod bike is they arent too easy to ride distances on, and can be difficult if your tall.

Then there are Stock Bikes, which are based on Montainbikes.

Stock trials bikes are better for taller riders, and are easier to ride longer distances. You can have gears on if you like aswell.

Both bikes can be used to learn on, and its manily down to what sort of rding you want to do.

Best thing for you to do would be to go out and meet some trials riders, and see if you can have a ride on a couple of bikes. Try and ride both types and see which one suits you more.

Both types of bike can be picked up pretty cheap, £300 will get you a brand new stock or mod, ready built for trials.
