yeah i started around '98 time and yeah there has been some radical steps being made in trials world, some for the better and some have been for the worse.

good points- skill of riders has increased. more trials spec parts availible. more people riding.

bad points- the internet (brain washing young kids into thinking the wrong thing) although in some way it has helped many riders get fame and glory from it, i've noticed that alot of young kids on here appproch in the wrong way i.e. adverts bombarding them about the latest n greatest parts from all these new fandangled companies.

other than that trials has moved on alot, definately in a good way, there will always something that i'll get annoyed about but i guess i'll just have to live with it.

bad points- the internet

For 'trials and the internet' every one bad point is ignorable by the 1000 good points.
