Hi Trials-Forum, I’m Neil and I guess, at the age of 40 something, one of the oldest newbie’s here! First I’d like to make an apology for my previous over-enthusiastic post regarding brakes and PhatWorks. I was a bit naive to forum rules, but now I know so it won’t happen again…sorry. I've got involved with Trials through knowing Mike and Danny and now working with PhatWorks I'm now hooked and really excited about what the future potentially holds for everyone in the sport. Working along side Mike and Danny to produce quality products is great. I love their enthusiasm and passion for the sport and having met riders at Shipley and Essex Trials comps it seems that everyone shares that same enthusiasm. We ultimately want to produce great products but also do our part in helping the sport grow. With the 2012 Olympics fast approaching I’m really interested to see how we can get maximum exposure for Trials from this great event and how it can be done, if the Trials community all works together. One of the ideas we’re looking into is lobbying for funding/permission for Trials parks, maybe in conjunction with skate/BMX parks. So if you know of any possible sites for a Trials park and maybe want to get involved or if you’ve any other ideas that you think could help develop the sport further then it would be great to hear about them. In the meantime wish me luck and hope I don't break too many bones trying to ride! Cheers Neil, Neil Symmonds @ Phatworks
