bikeperson45 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I seem to be the only trialser in my area and was wondering if you had any idea to tell people about trials. So far, I've been going around local places, seeing if anyone will say anything. Need trialsers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You feel that there's not enough riders in your area, And when someone gives you a good idea that's helped him in the past, You dismiss it because people may laugh. But on the other hand people may actually take an interest and your problem's solved. Just do it. Edited May 31, 2008 by Benjaminge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for advice Yer we always ride at school the police came the other week but they let us stay cos we weren’t out on the streets smashing stuff up. Just so long we picked up all the rubbish we dropped. It will be fine the worst that will happen is you will get told to leave Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Kearns Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Not riding it to school, I'll be mocked for the rest of my time at school. The exact reason i ride trials to this day. Is because a lad i'd never even spoke to come in on this funny looking bike, i said whats that etc, he explained, i had a little ride, liked it, went round his house, went on onza.com, couldn't afford new so got a t-bired for £100 and it went from there, to be honest, thats pritty much how EVERYONE started round here.

Do it our head teacher found us up there just as one of my friends was throwing a yoghurt at the wall and we just ran off and then is a lesson he just basically said boys will be boys and got us to write about it. He is the best teacher ever. Edited May 31, 2008 by 15 years later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Just go out and ride your bike - do you really need a support group? I had a fantastic day riding trials around Limerick with two of the other riders I know (Possibly 30% of Ireland's trials riders there ). One drove from Dublin (120+ miles) and one from Cork (60+ miles)... If I needed to put a group together before I could go and ride my bike I'd never get anything done... If they hadn't been up, I'd probably have done more or less the same thing anyway... One of the big advantages of trials riding is that it's weird enough that people that see you generally don't harass you or if they do they're genuinely curious rather than out to cause trouble. Given that in Limerick city (Also known as stab city, and declared the murder capital of Europe this year apparently) I've never had any trouble in over a decade of cycling there, mostly solo, you probably have very little to worry about...
