Alan Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Well, This poll may seem a little silly and im expecting a huuuuge percentage to go for choice 1. Although, I have noticed a few people, like myself, Don't own a trials bike anymore, Or ride trials but still come on here, whether its to post a picture of there missus (Or just perv on others!), post a picture of, other bikes, cars etc or just to watch people and componants, i.e the trials world itself progressing......So poll away!Alan.

A!! Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I do own one (GU typhoon 20"), but i have kinda' quit now, if not forever, for a long time. Simply 'cause i found a whole new sport that goes by the name of Bmxing, and i find 100 times more fun So yeah, im in two minds whether to just get rid of it totally, or just keep it in the hope that i might start again.

Alan Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 These people that don't ride but have a trials bike should donate to the needy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocktrials Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I dont own a bike so i dont ride. Did have a bike and ride, but it got boring as i had no one else to ride with, and it was difficult to find places round my area.Sold my bike. But love the chit-chat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Sold my bike. But love the chit-chat Amen brother! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.E.A.U Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I have actually tried to get myself away from it due to money etc and I like to have money and I never do and I like clothes etc lol and other stuff and I always put everything off to ride But then I just realised I was being gay and carried on.Lucky enough now to get a sponsor but some how still manage to spend my money on my bike (how does that work?)Cant leave it I love it too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I don't ride anymore, I was too busy with the band and my girlfriend and my bike just sat in the loft so I eventually sold it.I don't think I've posted in any area other than "chit-chat" for bloody yonks, I keep popping into "trials chat" with the intention of making myself useful but the topics are always the same and bore me to death, haha.To be honest TF is just a cool place to come chat and have a laugh with a bunch of sound peeps!Davey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I really wanted to say I still ride but since the t-lite's been sat in the cupboard for 3 months without being touched I can't really do that. I do ride the bmx whenever I'm not elbow deep in baby shit thoughI only come on here cos it's better than working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I only come on here cos it's better than workingHaha, you know it, it's not coincidence that I'm mostly on here between the hours of 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday!Davey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickyw Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 i have 2..wanna get rid of one..havnt ridden both around 4+ months...id like to, but...i can see myslef getting bored of just hoppy hoppy trials for the day...bmx is sooo much more fun.to be honest though..i would love to go out on it again but hence this reason. ^^^^^huck_it,obm,eskimo,poopipe + more would agree with me about bmx being more fun...surely?

poopipe Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 huck_it,obm,eskimo,poopipe + more would agree with me about bmx being more fun...surely? frankly?yes. for these reasons...getting places is less effort than jogging with a bike on your back you get there 3 times as fastthere's a seat for sitting on when you're tiredyou get to go fastyour bike doesn't break if you look at it wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 True what poo said.Not rode trials in about 2 years now.Since then though rode BMX and XC, I just like the fact you can sit down and go for more than 4 meters in less than 400 pedal strokes.

dave85 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 When I can ride, I do, sadly those days are numbered in tens a year I get stick for it, because I do have quite a few bikes, but I gained them through hard work and resource. The "you've got loads of bikes give me one" mentality pisses me off bigstyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
