Thanks for replying. I don't want to buy a crap bike. I would rather spend extra money to buy a better bike, but I don't wan't to spend too much. £100 would be perfect, but somehow I think the bike wouldn't be very good for that sort of money? Is there a particular make/model I should be looking at? Keep the suggestions coming please Lads. Thanks, James

Hi Guys, I have always been into Bicycles. About 3 years ago (I am 13 years old) I started riding my MTB around my parents farm, jumping of small walls which were only about a foot or so. I live in the UK. In the last year or so, I have been getting more confident. I like to do jumps (I set up a mountain board jump at started at the top of the drive which is basically a hill, I got about 3 foot high air and jumped about 5 foot). I then started to practice wheelies, then once I got a bit more confident, wheelieing off small ledges (only about a foot). I haven't done that much in the last 6 months as I normally do because of a few reasons: 1) It gets dark a lot sooner in the winter so when I get home it is dark. 2) I have been playing a lot of rugby. 3) I don't have a suitable bike. I find a MTB to heavy for the sort of things I want to do. I made the mistake of buying a BMX about 6 months ago, I'm not into doing tricks at all. I like jumps and more technical stuff. I like having a suspension as it always feels so harsh when driving off a little wall or anything like that. I have noticed that trials bikes don't have a suspension, or do they? I was thinking a Trials Bike would be more suitable for the sort of things I want to do? I will be riding it around a farm, which is mostly concrete. I will hopefully be jumping off walls, going over and around obstacles, jumps, wheelies, that sort of thing. Will a Trials Bike be suitable? Also, what would be a suitable beginners bike? I don't want to spend to much, but then I don't want a crap bike. What is the minimum price I should look to spend on a trials bike? Any advice/help would be very much appreciated Thanks, James I hope I haven't bored you all to death, sorry if I have though. Hopefully you know what it feels like not knowing anything about the sport you want to do!

Hi Guys, I'm 13 years old and I live near Hereford. I am hopefully going to get a trials bike but I'm not sure which one would be suitable for me. I have a Mongoose Sbuject BMX and a Trek MTB which I will hopefully sell so I can afford a Trials Bike. You will probably see one or two of my threads around. If you could answer them then that would be great. I also am interested in Motorbikes. I have a Yamaha TTR 125L but I have just moved up to a 2 Stroke KX100 which I am loving! It is so much quicker and more fun to ride. Unfortently it is currently in parts but hopefully I will get some new parts soon. I hope I haven't bored you to death already. See you around guys, James
