esfrost Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Im not sayinng that you dont need strenght for trials, but take a look at Gilles Coustellier, he is pretty skiny, and hes is able to do the 10 pallets. I'd say technique plays the biggest role in this sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Koxx hydroxx 2 Jack * Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hi mate ,A good way of looking at it is if the world strongest man got on a trials bike,he would not be able to side hop as high as the likes of Benito Ross. tecneque must play a large part .Jack.
