Do you mean modern mc. trials, sixties mc. trials or modern cycle trials ? Modern mc.trial and modern cycle trial are very similar. Old, old school cyle trials is pretty much the same as sixties mc. trials except the obstacles are smaller and the water´s not as deep. More cycling than hopping. Check out `sixties mc. trial´ on youtube

Anybody here ride old school trials. I mean really old school the same as mc. trials from the sixties but on bikes instead. We´re a small group in Denmark that have started the `sport´ up again. When I was a kid in the sixties we used to cycle out to mc. trials and training sessions and be inspired. We cycled home and built our own sections in the local woods or on nearby slagheaps. Of course the homemade bikes were very different then and the sections were built with this in mind. Even so the fun is still the same despite the sections being more demanding now. It was never a recognized or commercial sport but flourished amongst the schoolkids of Northern England. Many of the schoolkids went on to the `proper´ mc trials when they were sixteen and could legally ride a 250cc. trials mc.
