Hi Dave,well, there is nothing that can be called a scene or a trial culture out here there is one serious trials rider named Sharon Tarshis that been doing trials for years and does trials performance in bike events and expos....it is not representation of a culture, its more kinda 'freek-show' so the crowd can say "what the mad man does on his bike..."Sharon in Tel-Aviv On the past 2 year i recon that another approx 10 riders joined the 'scene' (of of a population of 7 millions...) i'm after buying a used rig and there is only one racked Simtra ST1 bike for sale in the market....i think that it explains the size of the sport good week to you allasaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleageman Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Well Asaf, It sounds like you could be an Ambassador for Trials in Israel! As for buying a bike, I don't know how strict Israel's import laws are, but if you can't buy a bike from your country, maybe look (web search) around Europe or even Japan?
