BobbyD Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 entering my first trial soon and getting a bit nervous abt the day :) id consider myself quite fit but me and a few mates went up to a motorbike trial and managed to get onto a few sections and the first thing i noticed was how unfit i was :P :P absolutely enjoyed it though even if it was just for a laugh, sections up little streams with rocks were a good laugh once you got wet, brand new try all shoes full of mud and soaked :P i wished i entered the fort william event but i woosed out of it, would have been good experience and have shown what i need to work on. is anyone still a trial virgin? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Im a comp virgin :) I would have competed at fort will if i could get my bike there, but i couldnt :P So instead, i just rode will arnolds bike in the demo behind the grandstand on the night :P (was AWSOME!!! lol like 200 people watching me :P ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Shoe Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Good luck with the comp mate and if you are feeling unfit go to the gym once or twice before the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyD Posted November 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 ill be entering inter i think, inter at fort william was hard on bits and quite easy on other parts but we`ll see. im more used to street as opposed to natural so need to get more practice in on the rocks etc couple mates rode at fort bill and enjoyed it and wished i had joined them so i aint backing out this time :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 in a push trial if your foot is toutching the ground but is still on the pedal does it count as a dab or not? (not uci rules) all depends on the observer, best bet is to make sure your foot is not touching the ground, even better, your pedal too. I am most definatly not a comp virgin, I have done maybe 7 years worth of them, dont get nervous unless there is a big prize or a championship on the line.

BobbyD Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 easy for you to say lol i just hate people watching me, im more used to street so overall talent wont shine threw, im there really for the experience and should hopefully be a good laugh (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
