david.b Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I am 13 and am into trials but cannot afford a trials bike so I am just using my BMX at the moment, is there a real need to buy a trials bike? Advice would be appreciated, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss-Higgy Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Just quickly, just because you can't afford a trials bike yet. Don't mean you can't learn the basics of trials i.e Track stands, endo's and maybe back wheel stuff. I know people who can back wheel hop DH bike's so yeah. But the other guys are right there's only so far you will get before you will need one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny--Trials Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Have a look on pink bike, within 30 seconds i found this: http://www.pinkbike....uysell/1073821/. Not too bad for £65 Edit: this ones probably more worth its money http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/6152986/ Edited May 13, 2012 by Kenny--Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aii_Aitch Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 It was my first trials bike and I found it great to learn on. You can mail me about when you want it sending, and how you want to pay, etc when you're ready to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
