Why Trials?

[eskimo]

Why not?

[NileBrown™]

I was bullied into it

Lol naa, mates started doing it so I joined them and enjoyed it.

[mountian goat]

basically i liked it becuse it was diffrent and not many people had heard of it

[chris H]

When i was a little kid i always loved doing silly things on my bike . When i was like 6 i was going realy fast into a curb to see how far forward i could get jumping off the bike

but stupid as it was i hit the lapmpost .

I saw people rideing trials and just had to try it so i did when i was like 10 and never stopped

Even the cuts injuries havent made me stop it makes me do it more

Basically i saw me neighbourgh on a saracen hopping about and i said whats this and he goes....trials biking so i went inside and searched it and watched videos and eventually got my own

[Skoze]

He did ^

saw some of my mates doing trials, so i baught a saracen mad 2 zero for 40quid, got some maggys for it, rode that for several months, then i moved onto an onza t-comp which ive had for around a year, only thing left of the standard bike is the frame(wont be alive much longer unfortunatly due to dents and cracks ) and soon ill be on the monty!!

1 year and 4 months put into 1 paragraph ^^

I used to try to do it on my jump bike, and I was enjoying it more than jumping, so I decided a trials bike was in order.

Bought a second hand T-pro, cracked the frame in the first 6 weeks, had 2 months off to save up for a new frame, as I had spent every penny on my T-pro. Bought a Zona Zip frame, upgraded a load of the bits, bought my first Echo Lite frame (06 short), continued to upgrade, eventually with a rear disc and the adapter I made. I rode that for about 4 months, spotted another Echo Lite, (07 long), for sale that seemed a bargin for the spec, bought it, then changed the frame, tracked down the matching original Monty Hope from the set, got an 08 Lite Disc frame and a couple of other bits, and it has remained the same since january, apart from some new grips I just put on. I love them

There is one part that I have kept for the whole time, my Tensile freewheel. I bought it soon after getting the T-Pro and I still have it, it has skipped about 3 times, and that was only those puffy, one pawl skips, not the full blown crank jumping round jobby.

That's all in 1 year and 7 months.

my mate used to ride moto trials..... he went to some big competition somewhere and saw all these epople riding push bikes at/ over logs.....decided he'd have a ago on his barracuda ??? full susser....i thought it looked cool and bought said barracuda, followed him around my town for a while learning ( slowly ).....then a saracen xc frame, then a sarry dj frame, then trek dj frame, then onza woodstock, then the pitbull..and here i am now... 1year and 2 months after i first started

good idea for a topic by the way!

My family have been involved with motorbike trials for three generations, I've ridden motorbike trials for 18 yrs and have always dabbled in biketrials from an early age. Had several triple clamp fork (Old school) Monty's when I was younger. I'm not as good at biketrials as I am at trials but just love riding, keeps me in good shape for the motorbike trials aswell.

my dad has been riding motorbikes nearly all his life so he decided to buy me one. it's a gas gas trials bike so after riding that for abit i thought that it was a good idea to practise. i then bought my onza.

[mista-neos]

I did it because i wanted to do some thing new and diffret plus it F***s the bmxers off. Been riding for one mouth still have the same bike it brakes every week lol.

well it all started wen me started watychin some videos on the internet and my mate decided to make his own bike it was a bit of a bodge but he was happy then he got better and then moved on to better bike and at that point i realised that it llooks incredable and so i wonted to start and i did , and now it is a group of about 4 or 5 f us who hav been friends for years and thats about it
