To be honest with you theres only about two trials riders, that i know of, in my area. People round here have absolutly no idea what trials is, they all think that my bike is some kind of deformed bmx/cross country bike with out a seat, it really annoys me. I always get comments off people like 'why did you buy a bike for that amount of money if it doesn't even have a seat?' they just generally do not know a thing about any kind of bike and its quite annoying. Luckily im starting to get all of my mates into trials and there getting there mates into it , so the local area is slowly getting more and more riders Rich xx
