Rebelistic Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 hi there i was just wondering how do you tell how long its been since you started riding is it when you get your first bike or is it when you learn to pedal kick thanks for your time danI think it depends on wether you're talking about trials riding or just general bike riding.I've been riding bikes for about 20 years but riding trials for about 2 years.

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Just over 2 years now And just starting to loose interest in it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 I think generally you should count it from when you actually started doing trials, I had bikes before I did trials, but I got my first trials bike a year after starting trials.

Onzaallen Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Just over 2 years now And just starting to loose interest in it...Hey, if you are loosing interest stop riding for a couple of months then get back on you're bike, i did it and i am enjoying myself so much more now. I am not that good for the time i have had a bike, i got my first trials bike (onza t-bird) on christmas day of 2004 but just learned how to forward hope last summer holidays and did my first competition last october holidays, i have only done one competition, i really enjoyed that one but i am more committed to motor bike trial so never have the time to do push bike trials.I hardly every ride because there is not anybody that does ride within 65 miles of me .But if you are counting how long i have been riding bikes it has been 12 years, i learned when i was 3 to ride without stabilizers lol.Cheers, Allen.

quick_spider Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 I guess I count it as when I started doing trials-type moves and looking at obsticles. It's a long time ago now - almost double figures now Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrashZen Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 I guess I count it as when I started doing trials-type moves and looking at obsticles. It's a long time ago now - almost double figures now JonI'd say in 97, when I bought my first bike specifically to do stunts and ride on funny tracks, though I didn't know it would turn out to be trials at the time... and because I didn't know anyone around to go along with, my learning curve was horrendously slow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though my learning curve is still slow now there's people to ride with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lardo_69 Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hmm just trying to work it out now I reckon its been about 3 days for me now riding trials lol. But I have been riding bikes sine 2000. About may time. And back then I was more in to Dirt jumping then anything else. Trials always applied( ~,~) to me. I always use to do a few back hops here and there. I think you first start riding when you get your first trials bike. Because before then it just messing about. Doing trials comps sounds like it could be quite some fun. Cant wait to get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
