Peter Green Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) Dear friends, Let me introduce to you a mini-web-service that helps by a little bit to connect trials riders all over the world.www.biketrials.in/the/world The point is simple: you write in the address bar the url www.biketrials.in/*countryname* and you'll be redirected to this country's main1 trials board/forum. (substitute the *countryname* with country name, duuuh) Chapter 1. Why would anyone need this? For example, when I'm traveling abroad, I always try to write to local trials-riders. They can always be of help - and it's just fun to meet and ride. All the trials riders are bro's . But sometimes it's hard to find the right website (for they are not always called like "biketrials dot domainzone") and you rarely have time for search when you prepare for your departure. That's why basing on this little project I'm making a, If you want, a world trials-hub. (Or, if you want, a lame "useful links" webpage) It can also be viewed as a step towards globalizing the trials "content" — media, to be exact. But that's in the future. Chapter 2. But, to deploy this idea in it's full force, we all need to participate. I ask you very little - if you know of a country's main* forum/message board - post about it or email me (direct at petergreen.ru). Also, any other comments, suggestions, corrections are more than welcomed. That's it! Chapter 3. Right now I have these countries (shown the ways to put in the address - biketrials.in/ru is the same as biketrials.in/russia): russia / ru uk / england / greatbritain / gb romania / ro ukraine / ua korea / ko hungary / hu spain / es usa / america france / fr canada / ca argentina / ar china / cn taiwan / tw norway / no lithuania / lt italy / italia / it czech / czechrepublic / cz estonia / ee finland / fi filipino / philippines / ph slovenia / si slovakia / sk belgium / belge / be netherlands / holland / pays–bas / paysbas / nl australia / au sweden / se So, I am searching for info about the lacking countries and, if there's any, corrections (i.e. you could request another country name alias, or correct the link to a more crowded forum). Chapter 4. The links should lead to forums, not to the websites, that means directly to people. What would I do if there is two national forums? I would choose the one where there's more active users. The preference should be given to trials-specific forums rather than general MTB trials sub-forums. Chapter 5. If you accidentally didn't learn the Chinese or Norwegian languages, there's a shortcut for you through the biketrials.in main page: click on the country's name and you'll be taken to a google-translated English version of the forum. Epilogue. This website is conceived as totally non-profit, and it's utility depends on the riders themselves. A great way to help would be to put a link to it on the national trials-boards and sites. Hopefully someday it will become a sort of tool for searching trials-friends all over the world! Remarks: * — as you can tell trials-forum.co.uk is the "main" trials resource in GB. Let it roll!www.biketrials.in/the/world Waiting for your input! Edited December 4, 2009 by Peter Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Green Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Any chance of it being in alphabetical order?Yeah, actually you're right Im surprised that forum member julien (trashzen) didn't think of this though he hasn't been around here for ages now.Well I gotta say I used his website to find a lot of the links, so many thanks to Julien.

TrashZen Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) Yeah, actually you're right Well I gotta say I used his website to find a lot of the links, so many thanks to Julien.This was the whole idea behind putting up a list of forums with country flags on my links' page, because regardless of the country they are from, riders will usually recognize their own flag straight away even if they hardly read english, at least that's a way to get some help/content in their local language. I had built it pretty much for the same reasons as Peter, as a personal bookmark list. I think Peter is making it in a nice web2.0 style which is not a bad idea.

Peter Green Posted December 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Oic, yes, thats a little confusing. Are they both Spanish? I can see that the .es is a little more active than .com. But why there are two almost equal forums? Which one is the best? Thanks 315r.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why there are two almost equal forums? Which one is the best? Thanks 315r..AHAHAHA! Yes are both Spanish.It's a long history. Here in Spain always is the same, confusions, arguing, and people create other parallel things.Nowadays ".es" looks much more active than ".com". but both works well.
