mcspamhammer Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 So I'm sat reading the beginners guide on trashzen and my son says "that looks cool, think I'll have a go too" a bike has been purchased so we are now both eagerly awaiting their arrival so we can practice/fall off together.

middleageman Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) Nice to see you in the members mcspamhammer! Your lucky to have a shared interest with your son, I think I need to develop a few skills before I can prise mine off his BMX, he's too busy laughing at my failed Trials attemps at the moment. middleageman.

He's got a Onza T-Rex which has been slightly upgraded. Try-all rear wheel and hope front brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickkkkk Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) For example my step-dad always treats me as more of an adult and his actual son gets pretty spoilt to be honest, when i wanted my first trials bike at 13 i knew i would have to work for it. so i got a job in a pub and earnt myself an echo team 20" by this time i had so much exitement and motivation i have rode pretty much every night of my life since then. Then his actual son took interest, and straight away he was bought an onza t-pro... he only rode it 3-4 times and hasn't touched it since. i think he felt pressured to ride it and didn't get into the sport through his own decision...
