Recommended Posts

i think i saw a programme on channel 4 and i had a Y-frame full suspension thing and i lernt to bunnyhop and stuff like tht.

then i got a gt arrowhead and rode on that for a while, then i went to bikeshow 2001 and saw the trials show was amazed and made my dad by me the t-bird

I've always been into bikes since i was 10, then at 11 i bought a full Saracen MAD Brand new for £200, obviously didn't ride mad trials on it as i was only 11.

Then i got a orange zero, then another orange zero, then a T rex now i'm about to get a Koxx Caisso :)

i used to ride bmx dirt with a couple mates but they all road 26 and they just changed into trials very slowly put i was still in the bmx scene, then my dad took me to a cycle show in london and i saw a mission reefer and i feel in love with it so i got it that christmas and never looked back appart from i found it hard to learn the basics e.g. pedal hop and bunnyhops so i just got used to manuals off drops and just stuff.

then i sold my mission to buy my mates saracen mad and thats when i learnt the basics and got to no alot of riders in london etc. i then grew out of my saracen and bought a onza t-rex and thats when i started progressing like mad with my biggest gaps, blunts and drops :) its done me well my onza i love it to bits but i will be changing it soon for either

Spent the whole weekend at NASS behind the X-Street stall and that was it, I was hooked!

Always wanted to do trials but i thought it would be too tricky, However after NASS I bought an echo es4r and realised it wasn't that hard. I'm pretty sure riding with people that could teach me helped myself progress alot and pushed me further.

I allways saw a mate of mine in school doing it (Adam), he used to really amaze me with what he could do. I decided to get into it but never really had the ambition to actually get a trials bike, untill I was down my local park with a mate and we saw Dave (DAB on here) jumping on the bench's and on the bins.

My mate said "do you wan't to get trials bikes and start doing that", I was well up for it, my mate forgot to get a bike and is without one still.

So 5 weeks ago I got my frame built up and I started. The frame is about to be changed aswell lol.

First started when i saw Martyn Ashton at a demo in poole, found out abit about trials and started liking it but i was quite young and didn't do anything about it.

2 years later and the Mad team came to my school and it was then that i actully thought of giving it a go, so i bought a saracen and really liking it:D

for me it was moving to a new area where there were 2 riders so i nabbed goes on there bikes and once i started workin i bought my t-mag by far the best sport going who woould want to kick a leather ball when you can drop 6ft or wheel swap a rail. the best feeling in trials is when u make that really big drop u've been looking at for ages or landing a crankflip(i cant do them yet) the excitment is endless jus jump on your bike hook up with some mates and have a good time
