Ben Gosden Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I had a family friend who rode and still ride moto-trials and at the time i was messing around on mountain bike's. I went round his one night and had a go on lower class trial bicycle and from that point i was hooked i just loved the feel of them soo much that i then rode everyday and once i had a bit of skill to back me up started to events.

HippY Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I got some friends way back Hungary who rode BMX, I was around them, and i found them cool. Then I saw Danny Macaskill (yep.) video. After that i googled Trial. and wow. I felt in low with this sport. But I was lack of funds, so for a year I went to bed after I watched trials videos. At november I moved to UK with my parents. For 6 monthes I had no friends, no hobbies, no sport nothing at all. But because of the Princes trust I could afford a starter trials bike for 50£. It was shit as hell at every parts, but hey, it is a bike designed for trial biking! (It weight 15 Kg by the way.) I rode it as often as I could ( when it rained, the brakes and pedals were slipped and i translated a lot). for 2 weeks I only tried to learn trackstand:) It was really boring, but i knew that it is my sport. This bike was with me for 6 month, in this time I killed it. Now i am building a "new" bike, hopefully i will finish it in November and with that i could reach the amateur level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theo Sanders Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I was just watching BMX videos in YouTube, and ran into a video of Danny. I was really impressed and thought I wanted to do trials too so I started on the bike I had and now I've been riding for half a year and I've got two bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NervGaz Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 For me it was an odd combination of needing something to get to work on and thinking about getting back in to skateboarding again. Had a mate who rode trials and had more or less enough spare parts lying around to build a bike up. Watching him playing around while we built the bike up got me interested and I ended up trading four wheels for two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss-Higgy Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Personally, it was half my own doing me starting trials. After moving to Blackpool i was determined to get some bikes to ride up and down the prom. Got to cheap as chips mtbs and my boyfriend started doing the odd trials move on it and i was like wow that's really cool! Then factor in me hitting a curb wrong one day going over the bars and nearly launching myself through a shop window.. This made my boyfriend decide to teach me some trials moves on the moonrocks to try to avoid silly accidents. I learnt quickish and wanted to do more and more, just over a year and a half later we now own 8 bikes and constantly out riding Love it though can't imagine life without my bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrialsIsHard Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I liked motorbike trials, but was too small and too weak to actually ride it! So bike trials it was.. An old Onza T-mag, those were the days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezmtber Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Like I say.. I wish I'd of stuck at it early on, made the effort to find other riders and got myself better informed (no internet back then). I may have been a half decent rider now But I'm enjoying it now more than i ever have. Same here, I started ages ago in the 90's Around the same time as rob poyser. Seeing how good rob is at trials makes me wish I had stuck with the trials riding. Rather than having 9 years off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizz91 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I've been into trials for years but not often road. My dad got me into it as he used to ride with 'Martin Lampkin', Dougies father. I did a little bit of motorcycle trials when I was younger, I really enjoyed it but I didn't stick to it. A few years later I discovered bicycle trials which of course I was interested in but could never afford a bike. A few more years on (last week) I decided to get a trials push bike as I had some money to treat myself before crimbo. Also by this time YouTube is huge and I watched lots of trials vids including Danny Mac which 'inspired' me more. So learning the basics over crimbo then taking my new found skills out in the new year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
