great post john
pretty much the same sketch here, started riding tyketrials in 98 wow what a lifetime ago that seems
managed to keep competing until 08 and slowly but surly since then it seems everything has taken over where trials used to be.
cars, girls, work etc etc
some of the best times iv ever had were out on the bikes having a chilled ride with some great friends. i miss that.
still catch a look at trials rider locally and think, pahh i could do that years ago and probably could now. lol not so simple like it used to be though.
