hugo bashall Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Hi all, iv'e been looking around this forum quite alot since joining so I thought I would introduce myself as I have not got round to this yet. I am currently on my second trials bike. I have been into trials for quite some time now and hope I can gain knowledge for more experienced members here. I have just turned 16, live in Cumbria. I usually ride Downhill and DJ but really looking forward to advance further in trials. I am not the most experienced rider in trials only taking it up over a year ago, but I will try my best to help fellow members. Currently im riding an Onza T-bird. I sometimes however I feel the bike holds me back from advancing further, but I make do with what i have. Thanks for reading. Hugo...

hugo bashall Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 My mistake just wanted to say hi. Also just wondering, I find my friends bike (CZAR 07 MOD) much more suited to my riding style. Would it be worth getting a similar frame. Or would a stock suit me better due to being 6 foot? Cheers Hugo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Trials Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 if you like the feel of the mod then get one, dosnt matter how big you are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsutton Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Would it be worth me trying out both mod and stock? I have only ridden a mod in my trials riding. But have always been interesting in stock. Something to consider. Thanks for the input. Hugo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Height is not important in choosing bike....Its just about what is most comfortable for you.Iam about 5,74 ft high.... Iam used to ride mod now i ride stock (iam in trials for about 6 months so..)Difference is (for me) mod:sidehops+;balance+;easier to move in tight places and small obstacles. stock:pedalkick,gaping+;pedal up+(Still suck at pedal ups.... but before i had stock i wasnt even able to do it on mod....)Generally you can do bigger jumps on stock than on mod.But i think the size doesnt matter you can ride on both..... 99%rider1%bike but 99% are nothing without that 1% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo bashall Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Thanks for the useful advice will bare that in mind, I think the best thing is if I were to try out both bikes and see which i feel more comfortable on.
