modman Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hello Guys and Girls,Now, time for a more meaningful topic.I've been thinking alot lately about the current state of trials and where it's going, for example: how the change from an ATB trials went to a more specific trials orientated setup and where/when the next big step is going to be. Plus also the look of the average trials rider, i remember back in the day (About 5-6 years ago) it didnt matter what you wore when you was out riding. Now Kids have taken to trackies and such other clothing which in my opinion looks horrid and doesn't look all that attractive to the average joe.So..... The question being, where do you think trials will head next in terms of changes in setup, different styles of moves etc. And what do you think on the current "trend" of trackies whilst riding and do you think it would the help the sport as a whole if we all looked abit cooler???Looking forward to hearing your posts,Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punkrider Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 My opinion of the matter:Trials will become more well known, maybe even become a fad in the future. I can see a company finding out about the trials market and abusing it. This means there will be more riders out there, as with most fads the media will make a fuss out of it, stories in the media mean more people finding out about the sport. This inturn will make the fad even bigger, this could go two ways, either: there will be loads of new riders doing very well at riding, more people will know more about the sport so it will be less frowned upon and the limits of riders will be pushed. Or on the other hand there could be loads of children riding around on 'trials' bikes not actually taking part in the sport, there will be a need for more lower end trials bikes, so the quality of the average bike will become lower. The current laws could become more strict, fines raised etc. This is only one area of the question, i would write more but i should be doing work...

moto_psycho Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 its definately getting bigger, hell, even i know about it!! style of moves, can only really say i can imagine them getting a bit more extreme, mixing in more urban assault with trials, to make it faster pacedand sorry about the last post, i only read the 1st half and thought id take the piss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben.richardson Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 who knows how it will end up the bikes now are so different to how they were 3-4 years ago. In my opinion i think its going to go big,like as famous as bmxing and mtb but who knows what the future will hold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 trials is already fooking massive, when i forst started noone knew what trials was, now very few people dont know what it is. I personally feel the expansion of the sport is a bad thing as it will just introduce alot of low quality budget bikes with chavvy little kids starting and generally pissing me off. basically how i was when i started.
