Hey everyone i new to the group....

I am 45,ride motorbike trials and recently picked up a second hand Zoot to practice balance, LOVE IT lol haven't used motorbike for weeks ... But my question is my Ten year old has got right into trials in garden with me, at minute he using his mountain bike which obviously not ideal . Looking on flea bay i have found a Onza Ska which looks pretty nice, would this be a good starter for a Ten year old? I got no idea about geometry etc...

Thanks for any advice

most of the newer onzas are really good starter bikes. i can speak for a large portion of newer trials riders who all started on one. i have a friend who started on a ska, was a good little bike. good to get the basics down. a very different geometry to the zoot though, the ska is more of a traditional comp geometry, where the zoot is more street. (more stable on two wheels, feels shorter, slightly steeper and higher front end) but, the ska is a perfect lead in bike to then change to something more preferable down the line after the basics are figured out. :)
