Okay i started to read this and now it's WAY to much for me to keep reading. I'm only small. Well people say about wearing all the branded clothing etc etc and emo styles getting all the emo girls. Try going out in some jeans and a tee with out a lid then? Be your own style? Recently i found its to much effort to ride into town to do some riding on a weekday after school. So in stead i meet up with some bmxers a few skaters and maybe the odd guy on a trials. Then we all go down to the local skate park and have a laugh. The ramps seem to high for me to pedal up or side hop or any trials type move, except from landing to bash then up. So i thought i might try bmx style and do a bunny hop. I done it easy. My mates on the bmx says its easy to do on a bmx. I let them have a go on my bike and they can bunny hop about 3 inchs. From this they relies the difference and appreciate what I'm learning. I seem to find that doing more streety moves like these are sometimes more impressive and fun to-do. I would never want to quit trials for bmx. But from doing this it makes me want a 24" trials. I think instead of people always following the top pro to be exactly like them. And no offense to comp riders, but them always try to be the best and better than everyone else does not help. In my opinion if everybody choose to do what they want and not follow people it might make trials more interesting rather than TGS or comp style. Like now instead of copying people i do my own thing. Yes i get and take advice on how to do thing but then i try to make my own style from it. Hope i have helped.
