Getting back onto the bike

[Bradsutherland]

Right guys and gals,

ive just turned 28 at the end of last month and was just pondering on my past times (as you do). One of my faves was trials which I started when I was 14. After 4 years or so I got myself a job and what have you, things changed blah blah blah, long story short was that I had sold my bike and had kids, didn't have the time to hit the streets anymore.

Now my situation is a little different, I have a job travelling the country, meaning I've seen loads and loads of really good spots to ride while I've been on the road. Soooooo, I thought to myself, what better reason to get another bike and keep the weight in check. 

When I rode before I started on a stock and after a couple of years bought myself a mod, which I found to be a whole lot easier to ride and smoother, but couldn't quite get the big moves on. Now the market has changed with the 24" wheels and what have you. My aim is to eventually enter the senior events when I feel I'm good enough, I was wondering if the 24" wheel is good for comps, I know I'll be better on a mod to start with but will it be beneficial in the long run for me to get a stock if I plan on doing events later on down the line?

i would appreciate any advice (or criticism) on this topic guys

Heard rumours of people on 24 inch frames doing comps but never seen. I personally ride a 24 inch echo trials and find it alot of fun, wanted bit more manouverabilty and something easier to learn on but didnt want a 20 inch. It may best best getting what you are used to though (mod), getting back into it and building confidence etc and going from there. If you end up with more than one bike so what. By the way, 28 aint old dude!
