Sam-Addy A3 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hi, welcome to the forum.There are a few girls on the forum and that ride, but the sport is dominated by men, at the moment.If you are just starting out, alot of people say 20inch bikes (commonly known as 'mods') are easy to start out on. Onza's are a good cheap option, there should be some cheap ones on ebay.If you are relatively tall, 26inch bikes (commonly known as 'stocks') may be for you.If you are looking to do more streety moves, then a 24inch may be for you, inspireds are nice.Hope this helpedSam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogo Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Yes there are , on the tf toolbar there is a members link, use this and set the gender to search female that should help.You need to go to a ride and ask if you can try different bikes, this should give you an idea on what suits you best.Hope i helped and welcome to the forumReece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) *not legal not funny* edithey welcome to the forum, hope you get into the sport and enjoy your time on here. Edited February 19, 2009 by Simpson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumplestiltskin Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) Your profile says you're from Inverness - theres a fairly large scene up there. Mostly mod riders, and most of them are really good. They're likely to be the guys you saw. If you're looking to progress quickly you won't go far wrong by riding with them. There is a function where you can search for riders in your area from your profile, but I've forgotten how to use it. If you search for RossMcD, David20 or McInnes in the members list you should be able to get in contact with them via pm. I think there's a guy from Inverness in NMC at the minute - his username is HDMckay or HDmackay (or something like that). They should be able to help you out a fair bit. Good luck.

JT! Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 http://www.trialsqueens.com/ - Site for female trials riders! Is a good start.We do see a lot of girls join and quit the forum and trials quite quickly. Best bet is to buy one of the cheapest mods (mods are bikes with 20" wheels as apposed to stocks which have 26" wheels (the difference between BMX's and mountain bikes)).Girls tend to prefer mods as they're easier to throw around, they tend to be easier to learn on.So, buy this...http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=10And get in touch with your local riders.

Gandalf the Yellow Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 welcome to the community! i'd say go for a mod as they're probably easier to handle and a bit lighter.brand new bikes are good if you can afford it, but there's a lot of bargain second hands about! good luck hunting for a bike.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-bird tom Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Welcome to the forum the best starter bike to get is a onza t-pro or onza t-bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcd Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Welcome to the forum the best starter bike to get is a onza t-pro or onza t-bird.T-pro's are good but get the levelboss ky better spec and looks better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Shucksmith Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 As everyone else has said, a mod would be better to start on. If you can afford, buy one brand new from sites such as Tarty Bikes or, just be on your best behaviour, make sure you type properly (capital letters and full stops), and just wait to get validated, at which point you can post in the wanted section for someone to sell you a full mod (or request parts if you want to build your own...) and see what offers you get.-Hannah, x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
