Hi there! Rode and raced mountain bikes for 15 years but I've stopped racing for many years. Currently I enjoy riding aggressive trail and some in the industry called this 'All Mountain'. Lately I've had less time (Family takes much of it) and driving to the trails is time consuming and so I had been thinking of trials as another means of enjoying 2 wheeled pleasures for months. Time wise I can just have fun outside my house. And trials had always fascinated me and I had always wanted to scratch this itch.....well, finally I am.
I've done my home work on the internet and it seems like mod is a good place to start. I was very much wanting a stock as I ride mountain bikes and that I can transfer the skills learnt and apply it on the trails. But it sure looks like mod is the way to go for a beginner and I'm quite sure it's a good place to start.
I've found a new Monty 219 Kamel and I'm set on it, in fact I've already made the purchase but haven't collected it. BTW, I've zero experience on riding trials and so it's going to be a huge learning experience....that's going to be exciting. I'm 39 years old and it's never too late to learn new things in life. "Old dogs can still learn new tricks!" LOL!
