Greetings Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Got me thinking the other day, are there any goals you've set yourself or things related to bike trials that you'd like to accomplish before giving up this sport? For me it's got to be riding the south of China. Been something I've wanted to do for years now. I still haven't reached a stage where I can freely fly off to China and have fun but whenever I can't be bothered to ride for a longer period of time, I think that I need to continue in order to realise this "dream".

Sam T Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I'd personally like to win a couple of comps! I can't wait to ride in Australia this year and hopefully i'll be riding a whole lot more natural. Want to improve on my general riding, going bigger and being more confident. I'd love to own a Rockman Kortz Also want to meet alot more people like i have so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty-james Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) I really want to do a summer road trip for like a week or two, all around the uk and the border of france and stuff. Or just straight road trip, two weeks, spend one day at each spot. Through france and spain. Obviously make a huge video too. I think thats quite a realistic dream though...

Miles Mallinson Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) Proberly get better at riding brakeless, get someone on the island that I live on into trials so I don't look like a loner all the time, actually properly land a footjam tailwhip (its getting really annoying) and I'd really like to be a mtb or trials coach.

I want to drop off a bus stop. I want to road trip with my friends in the summer. I want to try 24" TGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Tea Why Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I tried static drop tuck no handers in the summer - they did not go well, especially considering I can't do tuck no handers anyway That is the only real goal as such that I have at the moment, the rest is just get smoother, more fluid and have fun.

Ali C Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 riding skill wise, I want to learn bar spins, tuck no hands, seat grabs and front flip and land them comfortably. Experience wise: Travel to new places to ride, be in more videos, meet more like-minded people and generally have as much fun as possible.

If you're doing it in the UK it's not hard to get a lot of ground covered in a week. The summer trip that Stan, Ali and I did was over 3-4 days and we got a full day riding in at Porthcawl/Cardiff, Bristol and London. If you're not a pussy about driving it's genuinely not bad. I've done day trips to London from here before where you end up driving for quite a few hours each way but you can still get a good amount of riding in. You can cover a lot of ground if you put your mind to it... All I really want to do is travel more, develop my own style more and just see where it takes me.
