yoyoyo Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Few quick questions.Did you include trials on your personal statements, not sure as they may see it as vandalism.Ditto but for bmx.How the hell am i supposed to do the first bleeding line.And has everyone else sent theirs off yet? Have a horrible feeling i'm gonna get left behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I did, but only mentioned comps and stuff i seem to remember. I concentrated on telling them how its developed me as a person.Also told them about my few years racing XC and my 5 London to Brighton runs.Depends on course, but you can mention the technical/mechanical side of it too.

Dan Campbell Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I used it on mine, I used it as an example of being able to get along with people and make contacts quickly and easily. Also used bike maintenance, but can't remember how.Just don't mention destroying walls!Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Is it wrong that i have NO idea what your on about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Personal statements are things you send to uni's to tell them about yourself.As trials is a large part of most of our lives, he was wondering if he should mention it or if i t could be mis-read as vandalism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_pimp Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I dont go to Uni so I dont have a fancy pants statement.But I do have a job, and when I fill CVs in I allways stick Mountian biking and biketrials under hobbies.And when they ask what it is, I explain. Let them think what they want about what sports you do, it wont change how you are as a worker and discourage your employ.My current Manager asked me to demonstrate this "trials" to him in the car park once.I rode up the back of an Astra and went through the rear screen. Still got a job there years later aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
