Tom Booth Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Right...thought it would be good, To have like a mini award (but no prize) for the person you lot think have done the most for trials in 2005..My vote goes to steve@ heatsink bikes....Hes spent so much of his time,money and life towards the trials scene in the past year, From day one hes provided us with cheap quality pads.But now hes devoted more time to create a booster, cnc'd backing...and probably spent ALOT of mone in the prosess..And the pads being released now, hes constantly updating his pads/compounds...And doing this With A wife and child...The mans a LEGEND!! Vote away then Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain C Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I would say Phil Williams for Select Bikes and also Dave/Adam for Tartybikes. Just for making trials stuff readily avaliable at good prices with great service. ....but thats 3 people...ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I agree with both of you, its hard to say one person really....I will say Steve at heatsink, who else has put so much time and effort into such simple things as a booster and pads, top guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe' Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I'm not sure if riding counts? but James porter...........His video that viewed on TF in august Blew me away!Best video of 2005 me thinks.He really does have natural talent......and of course no sense!Select bikes.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butcha87 Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Jonny Jones!The whole Trialmedia thing is something to be proud of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I will say.. Phil becausePhil not only is dedicated to running his excellent shop, but he is also dedicated to riding and it still baffles me as to why he is not a bigger name than he is. He also constantly updates his shop bringing better prices and an increasingly wider range of products, whilst still maintaining his position as (in my eyes) number one importer of deng productsGrats Phil Williams, hope you win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Clark Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I'd definately go for Steve at Heatsink, proper nice bloke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 You can't just go for "nicest bloke" though, plenty of people are nice, but what's that got to do with trials? I would probably go for Onza/Zona. They've produced some great products this last year and seem to be one of the most innovative companies about. So they probably get my vote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punkrider Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 There are quite a few people who have done a lot for trials in the last year. I think my top 3 would have to be; Steve@heatsink, Adam@tartybikes and Dave@tartybikes. All have been very helpful in the past aswell Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philking Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Adam and dave at tarty bikes..... actually manage to keep their website updated, which is more than can be said for ALL other shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_Porter Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Adam and dave at tarty bikes..... actually manage to keep their website updated, which is more than can be said for ALL other shops.yet selectbikes do aswell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I love phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I appreciate what both Phil and Dave & Adam have done, but I don't think they can be described as trials personality of the year. And here is not the right place for everyone to post their allegiance to either Select or Tarty Bikes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Definatly steve@heatsink!Hes a top bloke, helps you out where ever he can if you cant afford pads and he is VERY trust worthy! He trusts you when you have never met the bloke or spoken to him before... he is an awsome bloke and he is producing pads which is at a VERY low price with a VERY good performance!Top bloke, defo gets my vote!
