Ten years ago. Back when there was loads of us riding in Hastings... The picture brings back loads of memories of spending time at that fountain most days and evenings, messing about on and off the bikes. Loads of life events happened around then and in that area.

Makes me a little sad to see this really, how life has changed / got much more difficult / serious :(

well, there isnt just one photo i like that sums up my trials career, we have taken some great photos over the past two years of my trials riding, but there are a few that bring back some great riding times, chilling with great people and having a good time on the bikes.

Oh my god! First time EVER i see a black dude on a trials bike! I was talking this today with my girlfriend, and i came here and watch this was hilarious! Thanks for making my day!

For me this is the one, it was between some demos, i have my favorite Straight-Edge t-shirt, no helmet on, Vans shoes that hurt like shit on the pedals, and doing a old times trick because a kid asked me to do it.

What's funny about black guys? :(

It's not the people themselves - it's the curious lack of them in our sport.

What's "funny" - in the sense that it's "odd", or so stacked against the odds that it seems there must be a reason when there clearly isn't one - is that there are virtually no black trials riders.

What's genuinely funny is that he was referring to the coincidence of him discussing the lack of black trials riders with his girlfriend (which presumably isn't a frequent daily activity :P ), only to come on here and see a picture of one that same day, and the people that read it on a forum construe it as some form of racism.

What's also funny is people being so scared of being labelled a racist that they're afraid to mention, converse, or even acknowledge any such trend, even though it's glaringly obvious.

In my entire time riding (7 years or so), and on forums with pictures/videos of trials riders all over the world, I've seen a grand total of two.

That's funny. It doesn't make you laugh - it's simply bizarre.

Reminds me of my first bike, Raleigh Urban Swamp. :D
