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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

I’m interested in taking up trials.

Is there a club near me?  I live in Bishops Stortford.

Thanks,
