I have reason to believe trials biking has been going on for a fair amount of years. One thing that confuses me though is the lack of facilities there are for it. When BMX came out, within a few years there was BMX tracks were popping up all over the place. I think its time that people started recognizing trials. Nearly every town/city has a group of trials riders but there is no trials parks. Surely the government could fund a few metal boxes or something. As far as i know there is none in Scotland. They could even build them at skateparks with some spare space (if people could stand being around skaters all day )
