sharland92 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Im 19 and a keen rider and have dabbled in downhill, road and dirt jumping for years. iv always looked into doing trials but never got around to it, and now iv got some time off from work. And been offered a 26' bike for £150 i was wondering if i should give it a go or keep to my other bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Posting this on a forum full of trials bikers.. you're going to get quite a bias answer! but yes you should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete.M Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Of course! You say you're keen so I'm sure you'll enjoy it. One of the plus sides I've noticed is that doing trials improves your control and balance on other types of bikes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Of course! You say you're keen so I'm sure you'll enjoy it. One of the plus sides I've noticed is that doing trials improves your control and balance on other types of bikes too. +1 I went to a local track racing club, after doing trials for a year.. I was the most powerful rider in the under 16's, and I was the under 16's leader (and all the other guys there had been there 5 years or more). So yeah, even if you decide trials isn't for you, it's an amazing workout and gives you a sh*tload of core strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
