CalopS Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 do it because trials is fun, not just to be good 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Trials Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 No, you become good if you practice, not if you start at 2. Was wondering if this thread was a joke, people ask the same when they're 30 years old, same answer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skunky_bifta Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Im 27 and jus into it... again. Ur as old as u feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) I know two people that have been doing it since they were around 16-20, and are about 28 now, and I know a rider that's only been riding two years and is better than both of them... So no, it's never too late to start. In my opinion, too late would be around about 40-50 years old haha.

kaybs41282 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 At 16 I would have thought you should have been trying to learn about women rather than learning about trials...only joking hell no, I was 15/16 when I started...had a 12 year break then got into it again.
