How's Everybody Finding This Winter Weather

[flipkickbs]

This is my first trials winter and i'm loving it. Makes things more challenging and makes you concentrate allot more on what your doing, I think its probably helping overall ability like finding edges and getting correct body positioning. Winter so far has been as fun as all summer so i'm still happy :P

[ogre]

I've only started trials and i'm out after school for an hour a night, even if it's pissin it down, mainly cos i wna get ill and not have to do speaking in english, damn my poor confidence...., but it's still fun riding in the car park and pissin off all the moms as they drop their kids of at clubs etc, hehehe. ALSO how can you say you get cold, maybe in scotland it's different, but shame on the rest of you, to t-shirts is all you need, oh and keep moving, that helps to!

[tricalum]

Its proper shiiiit, its rained almost every night and because my road leads up to a hospital the road gets gritted so it makes the road constently wet (Y) . I was just about to go out tonight and it started to fu*king rain.

[Mr_Pitbull]

Confidense level = Poor

Just practising the same lines over and over again really does get on ones nerves. Especially if you have done big lines and your doing its smaller version, In summer I thought I was getting somewhere but this winter Isn't helping.

Christmas day is a good day to ride (Y).

You can do a lot more in the wet than you think you can (Y)

I can still remember at the DJ ride in Abingdon, it had been royally pissing it down. There was me and Nick (Prawn) out riding whilst it was still raining. 7 blue pallet stack, soaked. Wet, minging grassy run-up. Nick tapped it straight to back wheel, then gapped from one side of a skip to the other. In the soaking wet.

Was a bit kerazy. But yeah, just goes to show you can do more than you think you could. Just make sure you're accurate and precise, and it's quite often OK.

Non-raped tyres help though (Y)

Im finding the weather rather....Depressing.

Its really annoying when your either sitting inside sitting on the computer :ermm:

Or when your out riding and its cold,windy etc.

Im still riding though, And its good once your warmed up.

I have just got my new custom FIT bikes S2 BMX though :ermm: , And its great.

specially when Y2SK8 in peterborough is indoor. So i am riding my BMX quite alot at the mo.

First Post.....

Just wondering how everybody is coping with this earl of Winter weather we have been struck with. Seems like the roads never seem to dry and the walls forever green and slippary.

I was out riding today, and it took me 20 mins to warm up :) not liking that at all, seems i cant sit down to relax without going cold again.

Lets pray for warmer days.

(Y) yes the weather is really anoying especially when your hands get cold.......steve

[David20]

The cold isn't really bothering me much, apart from my hands.

But my brakes are not very good and everything being slippery is starting to annoy me, but in a way its good because it makes me a better rider and I do actually enjoy it when I am not falling on my ass and getting getting soaking wet (Y) because it helps me progress quicker.

Cheers David.

now this is the attitude im talking abuot. i truly love riding in the wet rain cold allconditions, it you practice hard over the winter and exceeed all ur current standards, then when it comes to summer and its dry, u will grip better and should be able to go bigger, or improve or find a new street move.

i love it, what i do hate is UNI COURSEWORK only 5 days left and work is killing me. although ill be out tonight

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeah

[Alex.loves.boys]

Fun fun fun

makes you progress so much riding in this wait till it dry's out .

I love it.

Even when it's pissing down is can still do most of the stuff.

Obviosly dry is better but we can't have everything :)

[Mc Lovin]

The cold doesn't bother me in the slightest really. It's just the rain that bothers me. It is quite fun seeing how far you can push your breaks and tyres before you fall off, I usually do that when just before i ride in the rain that it boosts my cofidence level right up knowing that my breaks will hold.

[andypro1]

im finfing the wether sh*t you cant ride much at all

[Houseface]

i hate it, can't ride without slipping or feeling cold round my area

steve.

[Brian Bleech]

You bitch i was riding with you as well.

[Towler]

inter is ace.... used to hate it, cold nights are better! You have to ride harder to keep warm, and you dont always get away with things in the wet/ice , Only thing that gets me down is when i get the cold... but i love it !

cheers,

[smurftrial]

It's not bothering me too much at the moment but im sure it will get on my tits sooner or later!!!

[pink_bmx_girl]

i hate these winter conditions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it means i can't ride (well can't anyways because of my stupid foot!!) and i can't go out and watch because its just so sdam cold!!!

[rupertsub2003]

funely enough i dont mind it if my hands where warmer on some days it would be fine but i like it because u dont get nackered as quick or sweating hot !!!

[Simpson]

i work better in the cold, go out topless and in my 3/4 lengths, freeze off my bollocks, ride round the corner to the trading estates, walls gaps, tonnes of pallets sloped walls skipps drops, perfect as soon as i start riding im on the boil

[Clarky]

Erm well "how am i taking this weather", it has been good so far apart from my maggie bursting through freezing, my tyres being balled i am findign it good, just put a coat on and it will be reet .

Clarky

[MaXsteri]

I think its been quite good so far. Not too cold and mostly dry, just the early evenings really the only annoyance for me
