Your name - Daniel Pendry-Moore Your location - Bromsgrove, Worcestershire Your age - 17 I wouldn't say we have a big problem by us but there is a problem. The general public see trials as an act of vandalism and by backwheeling a bench that is automatically an offence. We have tried every sort of responce you can imagine, being polite, offensive, saying nothing, being logical but every single time we don't get through to them. When we are asked to move along politely that's fine, we do as told as we want to preserve a non anti-social image. But, when we are sworn at, threatened with a call to the police, threats of assault etc then it get's a bit tiresome. Half the time the objects we are ridding on are of not concern to the member of public anyway, i.e a rock or a bench. The police are a mixed bunch aswell. Sometimes we are watched and applauded, then a few hours later we can be stopped and threatened with asbos and court orders for vandalism. I hate to bring up the subject but chavs do get away with a lot more, i mean if there are a big group of chavs they aren't dispersed, instead the trials riders are. We ride in our town and various other nearby locations and we get the same old rubbish. We chose to ride in these locations because they are good local areas with something for everyone. Aswell as the negative comments and remarks we do get the occasional "wow, look at that" usually from little chavs, families, occasional old people and older couples. Sorry if the answers are a bit jubbled up but it's all there i think.
