Candytown Classic trials competition is back for 2018! We have brought the Classic comp back this year in June this time around. This comp is open to all levels of riders from beginner to pro. The Comp is held in Elizabethtown Pennsylvania at the Candytown motorcycle club on June 3 2018. Registration starts at 8:30 to 10 with the rider meeting to follow. Cost to compete is $25. Spectators are free. If you are reading this and you have never ridden a trials bike, your in luck. We will be making the beginner sections mountain bike friendly. We want to try and grow the sport and hopefully get some mountain bike riders into the sport of trials. you think that the beginner lines are too easy for your abilities, then try the sport level lines. This will be MTB friendly for the most part but you may need some basic trials skills under your belt. You never will know where you stand unless you show up to the competition. We will have a try out line for anyone to ride that will test your skills before you decide to register for the competition. Please check the link below for the event details. https://www.facebook.com/events/173954799912261??ti=ia #biketrials #candytown #trialscompetition #trials #mtb #mountainbike

A blind guy that rides trials

Hello everyone, A while back a guy asked me if he could draw a photo of me and have me autograph it. He said that it would be sold for charity for the blind. well the time has come for the auction. There isn't much time left to get a really awesome drawling autographed by Matt Gilman the Blind Bike Trials Rider. This is totally for the blind in the UK. All proceeds go to help the visually impaired in the UK with things that they need such as learning tools and costs. Please do what you can by spreading the word or even placing a bid. The auction is on ebay. I hope this hasn't been posted or if it is even in the right place. Again it is an autographed drawling of me the 'Blind Bike Trials rider'. More info at the link below. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/action-blind-people-artwork-Matt-Gilman-signed-artwork-/370544037366?pt=UK_Art_CanvasGiclee_RL&hash=item5646254df6#ht_500wt_994 Please do what you can.

Here is the link. http://www.foxbaltimore.com/newsroom/features/cover_story/videos/vid_375.shtml Let me know what you think. Thanks, matt. www.blindbiketrials.com

Hey all, Here is my latest video. Hope you all enjoy it. Let me know what you think. http://www.trialtech.co.uk/update.php?update_id=39 thanks, matt

My site has now been updated with a "bike specs" on the about me page. Check it out. I will actually need to update that very very soon. As I am changing a few things on my bike in the near future. www.blindbiketrials.com Thanks, Matt.

I think the issue is that Matt doesn't have the time to put forth to get the forum back up and running quickly. He has allot of outside things going at the moment. I heard that the Trialsin forum may be back up and running too.

Tom, Yeah i know. I just used that as an example. It was the best way i could get it across in writing. Don't think for a minute that I would ever lump everyone into that category. please don't take any of-fence to it.

I love all the stereotypes that are in this thread. Just because you saw something on television or read something on the internet doesn't make it so. The idiiots in the world get the most attention because it is entertaining. Then they get labeled as the majority, when that is not the case. Pretty much everyone in real life outside the TV or internet is normal and not a jerk off as seen on TV. If you live close to the US or don't visit the US, then you can't give a fair judgement. All you know is what you see on the internet or TV. I go on OTN but I am not labeled as "one of those" So .... Unless I am? If I said that everyone in the UK or Canada was stupid because of a few actions by one or two people on the internet, would that be fair. Judging everyone on the actions of the minority is not right nor does it make you a smart person. Not trying to call anyone out but you just have to have all the facts before you say some of the things that are being said. Merry christmas!!

Tom, Can't say for sure what is in the works but things are getting resolved. Hopefully OTN will be up and running. Heard that it got hacked really badly. Data may be lost... again not sure of details but in the process of fixing.

It's weird to read about OTN and then have a political discussion all in the same topic. Kind of ironic... Things are in the works for the forum...

Hey all, I recently got skype working on my computer. I was just seeing if anyone here used it? If you do and would like to catch up then do so. It's sweet to be able to talk to other riders from so far away. My user name is blind_bike_trials Thanks , Matt Blind Bike Trials Rider

Hey all, I recently started a web page. Well I have got it pretty up to date so I thought I would post it up. Let me know your thoughts. http://blindbiketrials.com/www.blindbiketrials.com/Home.html Thanks Matt.

Yeah the guy you are talking of is Bobby McMullen and he is a pretty coool dude. It's insane how he can ride so fast around things that don't move when you hit them such as trees. I personally like going slow. I have mad respect for him. Thanks to everyone who listened to it. I have another one in a week or so. The one coming up, the interviewer actually came out to interview me while I was riding. It is also a radio interview.
