trialsalot Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Good vid but the whole tight wearing thing is just completely gay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 If it somewhat helps one to nail a 57.5in pedal up-to-backwheel with no tap, then performance lycra is well and truly here to stay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmks88 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 there is no excuse to wear lycra a few inches against making a really cool sport looking gay as feck sorry but no ive asked random non-trials people about this and they dont care and some (usually women) say that it makes the sport look more serious/athletic and anyway its much more comfortable to ride in tights performance > fashion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpanzyyyy Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I wanted to ride trials because of the trialskings and keita mostly now I enjoy riders such as porter, ali c, kenny belaey, danny macaskill, damon watson etc I don't car about fashion really but part of my interst in trials, is how cool and fun it looks lycra are too serious, they are for xc, roadbike and other boring riding styles IMO (but it's just me) trials is more close to bmx or skate despite how hard it is to learn the skills and I ve got nothing against comp, I have always wanted to try these, would have make my riding so much better actually but I guess it's a big off topic I ve started, so I shut my mouth now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 there is no excuse to wear lycra a few inches against making a really cool sport looking gay as feck sorry but no I wonder if your initial reaction to first seeing the original Ashton Justice frame was "gay as feck" because your mindset couldn't accept its geometry performance advantages over its strange looking appearance. Would be an interesting archive blog search to see how negatively those whom rejected its appearance first hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Huge stuff, but it was mostly the same thing in slow motion so was pretty boring to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.KYDD Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 lycra are too serious, they are for xc, roadbike and other boring riding styles What if you're serious about comps. Sure, for you riding is all about fun; and why not? But remember that some people (competition riders) see it as more of a sport in which to win, it must be taken seriousley.

But remember that some people (competition riders) see it as more of a sport in which to win, it must be taken seriousley. comps are serious and I can just imagine how much dedication it needs to be as good as gilles but benito and kenny are as serious, they win pretty often too and they do not look like gay pornstar but I m mostly concern about the image of the sport itself no one has to decide what kind of cloth you want to wear If you like lycra, then wear it, no big deal just... it looks so goddamn lame...

I know what u mean I had friends who were like u I like the idea of riding in "nice" cloths such as jeans or cool shorts it gives the fake feelings trials is kinda "easy" I remember back in the day I was seduce by this idea doing crazy bike stunts on rails and walls and make it look "casual" different point of view I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Riding street i just ride in shorts and t-shirt. The tights only come out when i'm riding natural in the cold, or i'm riding a comp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
