I know as it may come as a shock to some of you guys with pink rims and yellow xc hats but trials isnt just sidehops and taps, How would you define trials. I reckon getting over obstacles without putting your feet down is the most basic description. thus if thats what he can do he is riding trials. just because its a different style dont mean it isnt trials. I bet when street riding started alot of people shunned that but now look at it. and finally mbuk are not f**k tards, they do their job very well, which is attracting young kids into mountain biking. I dont like reading it but it doesnt mean it sucks. I know if it werent for them i probably wouldnt be mountain biking. I reckon you need to stop being so narrow minded and look at the bigger picture
