psycholist Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 or one of those black Lipsknot hoodies the skater kids wear... Riding trials to get 'noticed' seems to be a strange motive to me. Just make sure you're approachable if people do stop to watch and you'll find you get way less harassment and way more interest. Only problem is sometimes you'll find you spend more time talking to people than riding if you're not careful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan81 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 But if you do it in peoples way their more likely to think you're a twat.I pick the most out of the way spots possible personally.Agree.Better to not be noticed... Less hassle, less stupid comments. If I ride in the centre of my nearest town it's only once all the shoppers have gone home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Just do your own thing, basically. If you appear to be just trying to show off the whole time, everyone's going to think you're a dick. It's like the parkour guys in central London - really, really good at what they do, but because they just wait for a crowd to build up before doing anything, then just show off the whole time, everyone thinks they're tools.Your trials lifespan is reasonably short, so spend it on having fun riding, instead of trying to get people into it or whatever. If you appear to be having fun and doing something good, people will gravitate towards you. If someone's interested in trials, they'll find a way in on their own.
