Veedubpunkster Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hi, thought I'd sign up and introduce myself. My name is Pete and I recently bought a trials bike as I've always had a massive respect for that type of riding. I ride mtb and road and last year started to get into bmx racing. My thought was learning some balance and control would not only be fun, it would also help my other riding. My bike is a yaabaa 649 which I stumbled across listed as a 'trail bmx' on eBay and got for what I think is a great price. It's hardly been used and appears to have some half decent components on it, at least for a starter bike. At the age of 34 and tipping the scales just shy of 18 stone, I'm not going to be a threat to anybody, so feel free to tell me all your riding secrets! I hear castle donington, where I live, has a few trials riders, so I look forward to meeting you guys and maybe riding with you once I've got a few of the basics nailed. Outside of bikes, I enjoy r/c cars especially scale rock crawling, and the Volkswagen scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
