Hi, i did trials about 6-7 years ago and just recently ( a few week) i wanted to get back into it. I had enough money to get a really good pro trials bike, but simply couldnt stomach spending so much to find out it might not be as good as you thought. I spent £400 on my mod and im loving it so far and IF i carry on and decide to take things to a new level i would get a "better" bike. Your a begginer, your bikes going to get scratched up and knocked so maybe you wouldnt feel so gutted damageing a cheap bike. Also, if i was about to get sacked, id spend a small amount and save some money to live on and bike repaires/spares.
