  1. Hi DavidR8, How are you finding trials? I attempt bits and pieces on my mountain bike, most of it is bloody difficult, I’m hoping once I get a dedicated bike it will make it easier. What’s your favourite trick/move/technique (what is the accepted terminology)? What would you most like to learn?
  2. Thanks for your reply, I will certainly try and attend on the 8th. It should be interesting as I’ve only seen trials riders in videos. Hopefully I will be able to book myself on a beginners session in the next few weeks. Happy riding.
  3. Thank you for your feedback. I plan on visiting the trial academy in Cambridge and hopefully hire one of their bikes. This will give me an idea what a trials bike feels like. The build I saw on here was a Giant stp, which was modified for trials, looked pretty good.
  4. I would be interested what you think about a trials bike vs jump bike? I see a few people on this forum use jump bikes for street trials. Have you found a great deal of difference learning new tricks on the trials bike compared with your jump bike? I’m looking at my first street trials oriented bike, but I was wondering if I’d get more use out of a jump bike.
  5. Hello all, I would like to get into trials, my background is bmx and mountain biking. Have any of you had experience of the trial academy in Cambridge? I am thinking of taking part in a few sessions to see how I get on? I am fifty years old. Am I going to feel out of place, is the academy full of kids or will there be like minded adults there? I would just like to say this is a great forum, people seem genuinely helpful and friendly. Thanks in advance.
  6. I’m interested in taking up trials. Is there a club near me? I live in Bishops Stortford. Thanks, Matt.
