The Drews Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 I havent riding now in about 5 or so months just with one thing or another I havent really been bothered to get out and ride, I went out tonight for a couple of hours and man was I S**T, Had no balance and no go i suppose you could say, Just wondered how many other people are finding it hard now and in general how many other people are either fair weather riders or when they get a girlfriend dont ride as much? Sorry if something like this has been in a post before? Did have a quick look through and didnt find anything!! Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy d Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 I've just had 3 months off from trials but that wasn't voluntary, I just didn't have a frame. Going back to it now, I'm having to work a bit at the hoppy stuff due to 3 months of dirt and downhill. It's amazing having a light bike again though, and just feels brilliant to be back with trials after the gap even though I'm still catching up to where I was.

Matthew_Gibson Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 I had about 5 or 6 weeks off due to the fact that i had no brake, well i did, It was in school for my tech project.

Rumplestiltskin Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) Usually get to ride in the space between uni exams finishing, and starting work for the summer; two weeks of riding from dawn till dusk. Not this year though. Have to go on a two week Geology fieldtrip to the highlands. Now I like Geology ( :$ ), but not enough to choose climbing up and down several moderately sized mountains just to look at an interestingly shaped/coloured/glittery rock over the chance to ride. It would be great if I could bring my bike; would be the best natural in the world, but obviously I can't. And to make it worse, tonnes of folk in my class are discussing bringing a cricket set. Two weeks of cricket?! I'll be lucky if I don't take the quick way down the mountain by jumping.This kinda belongs in the angry thread, but it relates to a period of non riding, so here it is.

Mr Motivator Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 I havn't ridden properly for over a year. It's a shame because if I had kept it up I would be pro now.I've still got the skills though I'll pick it up again this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Probably about 1-2 months, due to a very cold winter.On average I ride once every 10 days or so, so these winter brakes don't seem that long to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
