jordi555 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Here's a little video of my first day with my new bike I've never had a trials bike before, but I come from a bmx, MTB and motorcycle trials background of over 30 yrs, I'm 42. I bought my 8yr old an Onza Rip for Christmas last year and it looked like too much fun Big thanks to Adam at Tartybikes for sorting me out with this Inspired 26'', I love it..

Pete.M Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I think it's pretty awesome that you can spend time riding with your son. For some reason this video makes me want an Inspired even more than the videos released by the sponsored riders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onza1 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 That can't honestly be your first day riding trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordi555 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 That can't honestly be your first day riding trials Yep, honestly, it was my first day riding a trials bicycle yesterday.. I have about 30 years motorcycle trials experience and still regularly compete at club and centre level, although not as much as I'd like to these days So I guess some of the skills I've picked up help me ride cycle trials. It's good to ride with my son on the push bikes, maybe once he's a little older I hope we can ride motorbike trials together too. When I get chance and my riding improves there could be another video in the making. Thanks for the comments so far, I was a little unsure as whether to bother posting my crummy little video on here compared to what I'd seen already, but I'm glad I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordi555 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Really good stuff. Your style looks really controlled which always makes for a particularly good watch Thanks mate, I'm suffering today though, aching all over my upperbody. Couldn't ride today because of the rain,which is probably not a bad thing, gives me some chance to recover, but I cant wait to get back out on it next weekend A few more weeks and I should be a bit more bike fit, which is what I'm lacking at the moment......... it's all good fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Nichols Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 The whole father son combo is seriously cool. It'll be really good if you keep the videos rolling out every so often as you both improve. It's nice to watch videos where you can see the rider's progression. Definitely stick with the father son deal in your videos, it's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onza pro series guy Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Can see its day 1, try using just your index fingers on the brakes, helped me loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve sturt Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Good work. Top tune. I love New Order. We are starting to get a quite a few father and son riders at the Crowthorne events now. Definately looks like the way forward. Nice to see riders older than me (32). A few more at the comps and I might push for a veterans category!!

jordi555 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Here's a little update. A few weeks on and some improvements have been made. It's certainly helping to keep me fit and keeping me sharper for competing on the Motorcycle trials bike..and my boy is getting better too It's not day 2 by the way. More like week 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordi555 Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Sign of old age maybe, but I've had a bad back since April, so not much riding been going on.. However my lad has hardly been off his Onza. Here's a short video from this weekend.He is definitely improving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpanzyyyy Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 yes mate so cool to have a son involved in trials riding and he's not bad at all I hope to see more soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordi555 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 At the weekend I had a big off over the bars, I've managed to smash my right hand scaphoid, consequently I'm sat here with a pot on up to my elbow... Following my bad back issues earlier this year I've decided to sell the Element.... I'm going to to stick to motorcycle trials as its much safer ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny00135 Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) Some definite improvement there Shame about hand, get well soon fella.

CalRobbo341 Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 While watching I was thinking, he would do really well on rocks, 30 seconds later, there he was, doing great, keep him at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
