Jared Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I was just think about things that really p**s me of so i thought i'd make a topic about it.Well the main things that annoy me in trials are:1.When people ask you why you havent got a seat or why are you hopping about on the back wheel on that bmx for?2.Just the cost of trials in general like bike and components ect...3.When people shout at you for riding on rocks and benches..I know we are in the wrong but they dont have to shout.I can think of more but ill leave that to you guys.So come on whats your pet hates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alun Goch Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 You mentioned the cost, but compared to other types of bikes aren't ours quite cheap?I mean, rigid forks cost what? £100ish avarage, whereas for some decent sus forks you'd be spending at least £400 if you rode DH.And DH frames, you can easily spend £2000 on a DH frame!In my opinion trials is fairly cheap in comparisonAlun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike addict Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) Probably, "where is your seat?" couldn't you just slap these people?. Also local nothing-better-to-do ass holes saying "come on ven dickead do summat do that thing on your wheel" they clearly know nothing and do get bloody annoying. Excuse the language, i get this a lot and its about time i said something Edited March 27, 2006 by Bike addict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_chisholm Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 hey,This has to be when my bike brakes itself, or me. It so annoying when your having a good day and your brake pops, or your chain brakes, or your crank rounds etc etc...........CheersAidan C.

JT! Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) 1.When people ask you why you havent got a seat or why are you hopping about on the back wheel on that bmx for?Maybe tell them?I think the worst thing is the when you have any amount of tpa on your maguras, one pad goes all the way back, and the other sort of sticks out. Then when the weather changes, they swap round, never been able to stop them rubbing against your rim.Bout it though. Gotta take the good with the bad. Edited March 27, 2006 by JT!

anzo Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I hate;'You should get ___________ they're loads better then them'If I want it, I'll fecking buy it. I dont give a toss if their a more experienced rider or not, lol, my bike, not theres.Second, people who expect mummy and daddy to pay out for everything all the time, I hate spoilt f**kers who throw a mard because daddy hasn't got £120 spare for some new cranks.Third, people that ride with a tape measure, lol, not that it bothers me that much, lol, but its just a prime example of the 'how high/how far' culture which is just annoying...as in you're not a good rider unless you can beat such and such.I can pick out a lot of people on this forum who take trials way to seriously, its pathetic. Its a hobby, not a f**king religion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramps Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Wankers at competitions that throw their bike around for dropping one dab. It isn't big or clever and it just looks pathetic. As has previously mentioned it is a hobby not a religeon - that is a brilliant line and it is so true, if i new who you were i would shake your hand.

human_furball Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 My pet hates in trials are:People who tell you to stop when everyone else is looking on in amazment and tourists are taking pictures.People who tell you to get of the bench as other people might want it when its big enough for 20 people and there are only you and them around.O.A.P's (short for Old Annoying People)People that have seen you but don't know you and claim they do cause you do trials and its "cool" to all their chav mates.Chavs who decide to have a go at you when they don't realise that there are 20 other riders round the corner who would willingly kick thier behinds.Did I mention Old People.But the thing I hate the most has to be when people say why does your bike look like that, my reply is why does your face look like that.I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and................you get the picture.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
