Carnagevisor Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hiya , just a question , you have your 'chavs' 'boggers' 'skaters' but what would we be called if we fell into a group ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 I dont think trials riders fall into any one category, as we are all from different backgrounds. Some are on the greebo side of things coming from skating, some are chavvy coming from football, the list goes on. We all wear different clothes, listen to different music and like different things, so its hard to tell really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy King Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 I think anyone i've rode with has fell into the extreme sports/skater collumn. Its like that thread before about silly questions, you just tell people its like bmx with big wheels, squeaky brakes and no saddle! It doesn't really matter that we dont fall into a category, thats a good thing! I like the fact that people are still amazed when they see you hop onto the back of a bench! (apart from THAT moaning old cogger!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 (edited) Iwondered the same a while ago , and found that we resist categorisation ...Labelling ?Athletes ? Vandals ? Ultimately , we're just kids trying to have fun on absurdly small and expensive bicycles . Edited March 21, 2006 by Endohopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright Pads Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 ''deathdefing'' sp!!Just genral day to day people that put a lot of effort into a hobby and sport that they love with a lot of pashon unlike many other on the street sports as it such be - should sum it up i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAB Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 (edited) I liked it when i was called an urban terrorist by old coot I like the fact we can't be pigeon holed, because what we do is so random yet focused like we use every surface and terrain and we borrow allot from bmx..

derenkirby Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 I think that its a good thing that we don't have much of a category because it makes it harder for people to discriminate against us like some people would say towards "chavs" or "goths" for example.I'm sure that in the close future there will be some sort of a category for us as trials really is growing, not only the UK but inmost countries as of my knowledge.

Tall_Rob Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 tricky!!we are obviously trial riders, duh!but sometimes with what i ride you could call it free riding.we have the ability to turn any object in to something to be ridin on.benches, skate parks, walls!we don't just have to stick to one type of ridin.or are just looking for a nick-name?free riders!we're free to ride what we want.

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 I just cal yself a "individual" i wear chav cloths, listen to chav music, wear student clothes and listen to greebo music, i dont mind anything really.Im more friends with greebo's though, because chavs just welt you if you lok at them the wrong way and im a "greb" for riding a bike, to chavs... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnagevisor Posted March 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 I think it's a good thing aswell that we don't fall into a certain category means that some lil chav can't go past going ' ere you f****n gay whatever' but i think that most people would think we fell into skater type category!

yoyoyo Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 I always thought we were bikers, never thought about it much and that was the easiest option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 but trials riders are nothing alike if you really wanted to class me i would probably be a "chav" but have been grunge and skater and BMX'erbut then you ride with some grunders so there is no true steriotype between any of us we dont wear the same clothes or do the same things in our spare times. we just all ride and lets just leave it at that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnagevisor Posted March 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I think we mostly fit into the skater category but then again we are original so we can have our own category but what should it be called the trialleys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
