James Quigley Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 You cant stop riding just because it's cold and wet. Just dress warm. Plus if you can learn new gaps and stuff in the wet with a crap brake, just imagine how good your technique will be next summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JIX Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 We live in the UK. If you dont ride when its cold and wet, then you may as well take up another sport during the majority of the year. I think like ben said that I do my best riding in the winter. I dont get really sweaty as soon as I start and you have to concentrate alot more. I actually love riding when its raining, it just makes you feel really hardcore :- and really dramatic. Smooth technique is what you learn in winter. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biff... Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Yeah i agree, i when out yesterday in the poring down rain and had the best ride i have had for ages, i was doing everything smooth and more controlled.If you can ride good in the winter you could ride allot better in summer.

Tony Harrison Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Last winter I mainly rode BMX indoors. I'm not going to force myself to ride trials in the cold in some effort to appear 'hardcore' or 'dedicated'. I ride for fun - freezing my tits off isn't fun. I'll probably ride both this winter. Last winter I wasn't particularly enthusiastic about trials full stop, probably thanks to a shit bike, shit job, shit-all money and bollocks all motivation.

poopipe Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 when its icy you can do 2 wheel skids - how many other reasons do you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picki Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Im chucking trials in over the winter...my ankle is bolloxed so i cant ride anyways.

flipkickbs Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I'm going to buy some new pads and maybe do a bit more natural trials :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 (edited) the weather will not affect the way i ride, i will literally wrap up like i have done for the last 3 winters and keep myself going, this time of the year can sort the dedicated from the non dedicated, weather it pisses down or hails or snows i will be out as much as possible its the most fun time of the year to be out!!!! god have you never tried rail gaps that have snow and ice hanging from them???? (Y) (Y)" :lol: as the old saying goes "it is the season to be jolly" it is the season to try loose your nuts too!!!!so the squirrels cant steal. Waynio.................. EDIT: by dedicated i dont want to sound as if i do it for the shear sake of training to win, like snappel i do it for the shear fun of it, but i find it extremly fun going out getting piss wet through!!!! and ending up either with a broken arse or some form of pain............it is quite amusing and you never know what lies on the road ahead with trials, the weather doesnt really affect me but i love to ride in the worse weather (also my mum loves me more when i turn up at home piss wet through and draping water and wet clothes through the house :P :- :P ) Edited September 16, 2005 by Waynio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir trial a lot Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 i ride with control and the rest of the people i ride with just go crazy so in the wet and winter months im streets ahead riding as they just use sheer force to get anywhere!! :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going out in the wet is fun because there's no pressure to do difficult things, and you can just muck about. Although it hurts twice as much when you fall off...

Lawnmowerman Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I prefer winter riding, there's no-one on the prom, no flowers to kill on the rock garden thigys and I dont get as hot. I drip with sweat after about 15 minutes in the summer :lol: . The only bad thing about winter is the bloody wind :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials Punk Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Sometimes I think winter is the best time to ride on your own. Dress warm, get the bobble hat under you pot, get some tunes on the go and hit some wet rocks. Last winter I did most riding without a from brake which does feel awsome even though its not practicle, yet again it looks like i'l have no front brake due to my dead leeson forks. Seems a bit of a yearly tradition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
