Hi !

Just wondering if any of you out there are from the old skool era like me ? been riding for around 7 years but only just got back into riding recently as i had my very own baby Echo EM2R stolen in august last year. So much has changed in the last 12 months of trials !

I miss my baby

me and a couple of lads around newark started riding 5/6 years ago but stopped riding for ages!

We have just all started riding agen and theres so many different moves (side hops, Taps for example)

Its taking me quite a few goes to get used to these new skool moves!

Trials has taken such a big turn in the last couple of years, Its mint!

New Skool so much easier and better for trials, makes things so much simpler! (Y)

tis true...i think the way to define old skool is:

bikes with PROPER seats and short wb, no bb+ and longish chainstays.

riding styles that doesn't involve sidehops, taps, hooking and front wheel moves..

correct me if im wrong..

I'm old skool, was riding when Hans Rey was bringing out vid's like Monkey say Monkey do, when bikes had seats (Zasker le) and when doing a wheelee was top dog. Oh yeah and dirty tricks and cunning stunts ruled the waves. The year 1994 is when I started untill i had my bike stolen from my kitchen at new year this year.

got a new whip now just waiting for www.Tartybikes.co.uk to delilver my lamb, chicken and fish then I'm out.
