Brian Bleech Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I've never had a seatless bike, I've only had a magura for an hour and I have just bought a freecoaster. I'm the worse trials rider ever... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C, Stan, Damon, CLS, Neil Tunni etc.cheers. obviously I wanted to know about the bigger names in trials, I'd also like to know who's been in it from the early days, who makes the parts, who sells the parts, who organises the events and that kind of thing.

N.Wood Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 There are also lots of people who think they are good and are not. Its hard to give a breakdown on whos done what over the years as so much stuff has gone on. Sometimes the join dates are shown on profiles, all started from Section 7 / Bashguard.com / Tenby trials etc and kinda conglomerated into here. Tomturd and Danny own and are admins of this site. Think it started in like 2001 or so? Also cant remember if it was here or OTN but there was a big server crash in the early days and everyone had to sign up again. I was on here under another name from when I left Bashguard.com then forgot the password and signed up again in 2003. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 God I remember Bashguard.com! I was on there once or twice. It's a shame most sites like that have gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on here under another name from when I left Bashguard.com then forgot the password and signed up again in 2003. I joined TF in 2000, and I think it had been going around a year then - the last 'big' crash was in 2002 when all the users got wiped, which is why there's a big cluster of members who registered around mid-2002. OTN had a pretty sizeable crash in 2009 too, but I don't think they lost quite as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I used to ride A LOT. I now have a couple of dream bikes that i mainly just lean up against walls and crouch down and admire them from a (*special*) distance.. until my mum calls me in for tea. I probably ride my road bike more than my trials these days (especially in winter) but i try to go out once in a while. I'm one of those 'bar height' kind of riders these days. Keeps me happy (A) Trials is in my blood. Riding since i was at least 13 or so with a few years out in my early twenties riding bmx, so i could (never quite) get barspins. I'm nearly 26. Who remembers 'trials - shack' ( i think it was called?!) Going back a bit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Certainly do - trials-shack was run by Simon (SM on here) as a sort of follow-up/less-shit version of Engoedidee.nl? And that tvg.si or whatever it was site... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bing Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) I'm 32 and according to rick bollman from Portsmouth, I'm the face of trials in the north. Apparently everybody knows bing. I'm like dale, acting like a cock and sarcasm don't come across well in print, our group rides are always a class day out when there's loads of us at it. Usually a few "your mum" jokes creep in, also mockery of tights and people who buy anything of Damon's Edited November 28, 2013 by bing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I'm the one that ignores everyone on group rides and if you speak to me I'll just reply with "what?" half the time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
