hi, im 15 and i live near crawley so not too far from east grinstead, im 16 and pretty new to trials, do you know any people near me who ride or any groups as i dont know any other people who ride trials yet, any help would be great
So are you 15 or 16???
There are a few of us in sussex but we are few and far between.
Im not sure about East Grinstead but don't be put down if robbie doesn't reply as this thread is 2 years old!

Seen they are making MTB tyres again but wasn't sure if it was the same company.
-
Thats a bit mean mate!
Sana you might want to check out this girls videos.
-
She's got some skills. Why is it more girls don't ride?
-
Culshaw I love the crash at the end, 'you alright?' 'Yeeah not too bad' Haha!
-
Thanks for all the info chaps. Does anyone have any links to vids with 360's, preferably on 24/26..
The guy with the black 24.

Didn't really get it. Tricks and stunts is so crap its good. This is just crap.
-
No trials but liked it all the same

Im trying to learn to manual too. I can do it a little bit on my mountain bike but not at all on the mod. I can't for the life of me lift the front wheel without a pedal.
Does the technique change with the different geometrys? I know Flip does it all the time on his, or should i just accept that i'm never going to have his skills :'(

I think Trashzen is worth a mention

Really want to go on a road trip now! Like it

I had the same problem with my GU Le, i guess it was similar age. I also had tryall hubs. i never checked if the rim was dished but i had problems setting up brakes as the magura mounts wouldn't move out far enough on one side. I made do with an extra spacer on one side and a thinner spacer on the other.

Nice riding but propper fugly car!

Starting to feel like a trials rider now
-
Ok cheers ogre, i better get practicing then
-
When rolling up a step (like this http://www.trashzen.com/rolling-up-a-kerb.php) i find it easiest to lift the front wheel with my good foot then back pedal before unweighting the back wheel. It works ok but on higher objects sometimes i struggle to clear the back wheel.
I can do the way suggested on trashzen but lifting the front with my lazy foot always feels clumsy and i have less success.
What is best?
cheers

Ask for a partial refund. Keep the components and buy another frame.
-
I can't beleive your DMRs won't grip, especially with five tens. More pressure on the pedals will keep your feet in place. While trying to lift the bike point your toes down and push back
hope this helps.

I never knew mums could ride trials
-
The thing i really don't like about Miliband is how instead of being constructive he tries his hardest to make the other parties look bad.
-
Im not keen on any of them but I just hope labour don't get it. We can't have a whining child running the country
-
Well thats how i found tidemills and the fort but i would be a shame to miss out on other spots i havn't noticed.
-
Im from Herstmonceux and there is nothing
I tried hailsham once but i didn't have much luck. I sometimes ride with Aldred_85 on bexhill seafront.My favorite riding spots are Newhaven fort and tidemills which is just down the road from it.
Im not too keen on riding in overly public places as i don't enjoy the funny looks and odd questions lol
Any suggestions?
Cheers

Can anyone come? I've seen the videos of previous years and the turnout looks great but maybe not so good if it clashed with tartydays.

Sounds like a sussex ride could be on the cards?
