haydon_peter Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Are you just talking parts here? Or would you include everything else thats goes into it, ie. fuel an travelling costs, accomodation, entry fee's etc etc. So I dont really want to work out what I have spent on this sport in the last 13 years!!!!! It will just make me :- lol ← Same as me, although I have only been riding trials for around 5 years [seems like a life time though!]. I Have been into cycling since I was 9/10, I will have spent loads over that time! I have spent so much time and money just traveling to meet riders. Now I have a car and dont need to rely on trains its easyer to travel to places so I travelling more frequently!!! I must have spent most of the money I earnt during a whole year of part time work on my Echo ES3 while I was building it up :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corish Posted April 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 (edited) £3000 ish and I'm still shit.... aha :) ← No ones shit mate, its practice. EDIT: Its also the mind, some people have a much faster mind, some people have a slow mind, its not your fault if you have a slower mind. What I mean about this is most of the time its mind work, not muscles, muscles obviously have a part in it but not as much as your mind.

Simon Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 If we count trials-shack as money into trials, along with trains. Bike at the moment is 1200 Old frames and parts amount to around 600 Trials-shack 550 ish Train tickets is verging on 150 Spend around 5 quid when i ride (food & drink), so thats another 100 ish so thats like 2500 ish. Maybe more though. Damn. >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai the Socket Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Over 2k easily. I've got £1.4k on my Python at the moment! Then there's Ribo's, Gloves, Shins, Helmet etc. Then my old T-Pro, and my old Da Bomb! But you sell them, so you make some money back up (Y) Lesson Learnt: Spend less.
