trials_noob Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) I would say that a person of heavier weight who is not fat will be just as able as someone lighter.I am saying this because muscle weighs three times more than fat so if someone if naturally heavier or work out they will be heavier in muscle therefore still in proportion to their overall body weight, so in theory will still be able to throw the bike about. If someone is heavy due to fat they are disadvantaged obviously. And a thin person will be disadvantaged if they have a lower body weight but no muscle therefore they are out of proportion but the average thin guy would be fine. So i'd say as long as you healthy and not overweight due to fat or under-nourishment you'll be fine either way.And to lose weight: Eat healthily, excercise and sleep a lot! But only if you were overweight due to fat, you can put on weight in muscle and become healthier.To put on weight: Eat high protein foods, and get in the gym!I'm starting to confuse myself now, but hope that makes sense Edited August 25, 2006 by trials_noob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidytrials Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Obviously the heavier you are, whether its muscle or body fat, the more weight you are going to have to move around and lift! Although those who are more musclar wont really notice as they will be strong enough to move the bike round anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fvil Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 In my opinionweight, size, height matter notbecause trials bikein is a skilland everyone in the world is differentso we all learn the skill in a different way*might be simular*but i dout its exacly the sameskills are developed depending on the personeveryone has their own styles or learning stylessoif your heavy- probley means you have to put more power in your kicksif your big - might mean you can move the bike easyerthere loads of different things or angles you can look at itso the answer to your question is no your phyiscal form doesnt effect your rideingwhat does though is if you can be ARSED to put you effect in to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I know very good thin riders.I know very good medium riders.I know very good fat riders.I think trials is more down to technique and strength than anything else, so weight shouldnt really make anydifference as long as you are as proportionaly strong.

A!! Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I think for trials though it is a different type of muscle type that is needed, so having large amounts of weight lifting muscle won't be useful for trials as it is a fast and slow twitch muscle fibre that is needed (correct me if i'm wrong). But i suppose it helps having a more dense muscle fibre instead of a big bulky mass of it. I don't think it really does matter about how heavy you are, but if it is excessive weight i can only suppose it isn't going to help as you loose some agility, making it harder to tuck in for hops. I was reading an article about something like this but in a superbike magazine, it did bring up a point that spending lots of money on light weight parts for your bike isn't really worth it when you can loose the most weight from yourself for free, very different sport i know but still a fair point.
