Tinez Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 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 Tinez(now riding an '04 T-Pro wit some upgrade's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spmcfadden Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I'd say old school would be the people who started before all the trials only companies were around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I'm definitely new school although I've been riding for ages. However, as far as videos go I far prefer the oldschool style to what we see nowadays. It's just more interesting probably because it's different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghetto Rider Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Rode through the era's, stopped for a while and came back!New Skool so much easier and better for trials, makes things so much simpler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Yellow Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 New Skool so much easier and better for trials, makes things so much simpler! 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..steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scousertrials Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 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.
