Callum Trialsin Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 just wondering what made all of us start trials in the first place.The biggest thing that made me start trials was a website (www.26twenty.com) with a couple of videos on it.Cant remember who told me about the site, but once i saw the videos a few hundred times i have been hooked.post what got you hooked on trials riding.Callum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 years ago my brother went on a cycling holiday in bolivia, I was soo jelous of his bike I just had to have one, so I got a mtb and took up riding (nothing in particular, just did a few rides and so on)I then started doing tricks and loved showing off, I wished there was just a form of biking that was just tricks...I got an issue of mbuk and saw martyn ashton, martin haywes and hans ray riding over stuff, I thought it was amazing and so started trials.back then no one really did trials, so it wasnt like there were any trials riders local to me for me to watch.If I had seen bmxing, I probably would have taken that up instead.

DeeZee Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I started trying to do more technical stuff on a XC bike.... but was getting sick of everything getting in the way......... then someone pointed out trials bikes (no sus and no seat), so I got one of them.Thats when it really took off. Before that, it was just get ups, jump offs and side hops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heli_flyer Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I ride motorbike trials. I started bike trials because because I coulndt ride the motorbike at night during the winter, it has improved my motorbike riding and fitness. for trials!

<PACE> Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 My brother got me started and it was the fact that i would be able to do something most people couldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2sixstreet Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Moved country and couldnt bring my XC or road bike over so trials seemed like a good alternative to have a bit o fun and keep fit. Lovin it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffacakes Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I got into it when I saw Granty getting up walls and riding over rocks on a BIKE and I was amazed. It first I thought I would never be able to do it but a few months later I got my self a T-pro and started riding! now I am a semi recovering trials addict .

Onza T-pro Rob Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 My cousin was doing it, at the time i was skating so he asked me if i wanted to come out and i said yea ok ill come out.. about 15 mins later i saw his koxx level boss 20" long, i can't remember what i said. Then i see him doing really cool looking shit, i said ive seen a trials bike before and i liked the bikes so i wanted to start but never got the chance because i never really knew the tricks i had only seen a trial hop back then.Anyway a couple of months later i bought his old onza t-vee, i loved it as soon as it had a rear brake, i couldn't trial hop for over a month untill my cousin asked me to come out again so i did, by this time i was getting fustrated and i couln't find a reason why i wasn't learning. Anyway i see him trial hopping just doing the basics so i thought to myself hmmmm.. Ill try and pretend im him doing the same thing., so i got onto the backwheel (i could only do that at this stage), and just jumped but i had no control nothing really so i fell off and smashed my knee, i got up and tryed it again though and from there i progressed.I couldn't get proper control of my trial hops for about another month. That would be to this day, and Tom told me i had quiet good control, i was pleased that i am now trial hopping good enough to do a drop.Well thats what got me started on trials. bit off a life story but i like the information.

Sam Oliver Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I did motorcycle trials from the age of 6, my Dad bought me a old Montyto practice my balance & stuff on & it went from there. I rode motorbikesat national level & took it quite serious but to be in the top 3 in the countryyou have to be on your bike every night for like 4 hrs & were we live thatwas not possible. So i switched to biketrials which makes sense because when i am not sleepingi am on my bike. (except on here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up'n'away Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Well about 3 months ago i had a puncture and urgently needed a bike, so my mate lent me his Base.i found it hard to ride , after i got back he started showing me hops.. next thing i knew i had bought the bike off him and was hoping myself! Now ive taken it further and bought a tpro!"Thanks again mate for lending me that bike" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_PRO Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 The main thing that made me want to do trials is when i watched a Hans Rey video (Big Five), then a few years later i saw a guy doing trials on a 2003 Onza T-Mag, so i decided to buy a Onza T-Pro and start doing trials.
