Rob rides trials Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Hi, i were wondering what you people think is better natural or urban (street). Personally i do prefer urban myself, CraigLeeScott is a perfect example of urban so i would like to know what you guys prefer.Also ive never really tryed natural i just think urban looks alot better, for those that have done both can you tell me which is harder? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Oliver Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 To me Trials is all about competing & riding sections so it would have tobe natural mainly. I agree that street looks pretty good & you dont getyour bike dirty but it's just for pussy's. (only joking) but people havethere preferences & this is mine. For example, A pile of natural rocks: there is so many lines & ways to ride. A brick wall : up & down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YAJIB Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 ermmm i am not sure because i have always liked street because there is always things to do but natural is also good because you can get to use your imagination bit more because there is different objects you have never come across before so i think their both cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob rides trials Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Well i have to agree with SamMonty, about there being so many ways to ride on natural but walls is a different story, it takes alot more gutts to go off a really high wall, and urban looks harder i hope that it is because it gives me the challenge and you dont see many poles out doing natural so natural is for pussies .

scott13 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 to me its street as there so many different things to do like rails gaps drops etc to me rocks (natural) all basically the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luccosleeps Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 i much prefer street because its much accessable for me but if i ever get the chance to ride natural its always a great laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echoteam!! Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 i like natural but i prefere urban more though, is more exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob rides trials Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Well so far more people have said street rather then natural but its up to the rider what he prefers im just happy so see street riders it will also be funny if there were alot more natural but not many people get the chance to do a decent natural spot so they go with street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 natural for sure!!street is too repetative, a 45" wall is like every other 45" wall.There are no two rocks the same.Street is easy, nice flat grippy surfaces to ride on.natural is harder, irregular surfaces often covered in mud, moss or dust.I am very much into comps, I love the challengs and rules, makes it more fun.

Guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I prefer natural as it makes for more interesting photos at the end of the day, but obviously it is much harder than urban. Some urban trials can make an interesting photo but most citys are a bit run down and have a bit of an atmosphere to them.King RegardsQnuspp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve huddo Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Natural is the best,you get so much better, then when you go ou on the street you can use your new skills and WOW!! your mates Then looking at it, without street you wont be able to get your practice up for a trial on the rocksSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Oliver Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 to me its street as there so many different things to do like rails gaps drops etc to me rocks (natural) all basically the same Have you ever rode natural ? no two rocks are the same like bricks !

T_PRO Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Urban, because theres more of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I perfer Street but I still like natural on the odd day when it's a sunny day As you will just be bored with riding street all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob rides trials Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Urban, because theres more of it.Thats absolutly true more and more of the towns are growing taking some of the natural away all you natural riders will have to turn to urban sooner or later, urban will just keep getting bigger.Also i like to show off infront of people out in the streets it makes me feel like a pro for 5 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skye_trials Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I think that street is best to look at but natural is best for comps, i also never get board of natural but get board of stree quite quickly.Thanks Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterj20 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 riders who ride natural tend to be better riders overall (just to stir it up!)you'll find that guys(&girls) who are good at natural will also be good at street, but being good at street doesnt mean you'll cut it at natural - theres a lot more elements to it.urban is good for increasing your confidence on big stuff but with natural youve got much more to think about - fighting & using angles, bobbles in rocks, using your pedals, finding grip etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterj20 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 like i said quite a lot about urban is the bottle aspect, so it is hard and demanding, but natural requires more precision and a bigger selection of moves to choose from.therefore I think its physically and mentally tougher.
