Sponge Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I don't do it myself, but I've really wanted to do it since I learnt they existed! Is it easier to improve and do natural sections and stuff on moto trials bikes than push bikes and what kind of moves do moto trials bikes do to get up stuff like taps and hooks?I must see a video of moto trials one day to see what its really like.

Matt_Tupman Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Yep i ride, have been for 7 years now just got an 05 Beta rev 3 and it truly the best thing ever!not looking forward to next year though as i'm getting promoted to expert earlyer than i'd like but hey whats the worst that can happen!I don't do it myself, but I've really wanted to do it since I learnt they existed! Is it easier to improve and do natural sections and stuff on moto trials bikes than push bikes and what kind of moves do moto trials bikes do to get up stuff like taps and hooks?It's a lot more flowing that cycle trials, imagine tapping and going to wheels on everything and thats how it is in motor trials but it is getting more techy so cycle trials techniques are coming into play more nowdays.matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Smith Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 just started this year, bought an 05 gasgas txt 250 pro, its the shizzle, really nice ride with plenty of power....so far i have found that from riding cyclo trials for around 4 years that it has helped the moto trials progress quite quicklyash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_Tupman Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 A good secondhand bike bout 1500 -2500. A new one bout 3500.Nah you don't have to spend that much if you just want to give it a little try without breaking the bank you could spemd as little as £500, there's not need in spending loads of money on a wizzy bike because 1. they depretiate pretty badly 2. and older bike is still going to be to good for ability 3. if you decide you don't like it they hey you've only spent say £500 and not £2000!
