I had been riding bmx for several years before I started to ride trials. I don't think it has influenced my trials riding style. For me bmx and trials are two different things. And when I quit bmx riding I stopped doing bmx tricks. I still love watching bmx riders and every once in a while I feel like riding again. but when I ride trials I am not influenced by my bmx background, I'm influenced by the good trials riders and try to ride trials like they do. I think because I've done all the bmx stuff (vert, dirt, street, flatland) before I don't feel like doing bmx-tricks on my trials bike. It's like "been there done that" and I've already lived it out .
