I agree. I think trials is gaining more participants simply because the population is growing. Percentage-wise, I don't think trials has any more people than before, before what I don't know. It does take a committment to do it though, that is the problem. Takes work and practice, not quick and easy enough for most folks. Media attention always helps. Plus, as the overall number of riders grows, the number of people that see the sport also grows, hopefully introducing more to it.
