I've been riding for over 9 years now and I really can't imagine where I'd be if not for this sport. It has completely changed my life in every way, right from the first days where I'd spend all my time riding, through meeting new people, manning up and opening a business which subsequently enabled me to start doing a very expensive sport while still having a lot of time for social life. None of this would have happened if I didn't choose to persevere and get my fist proper trials bike, a 221 X-Lite with a square bottom tube which was quite literally falling apart.
To the trials community, I salute you.
