az_zoo Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I was thinking today about the first time i saw trials. I remeber thinking thats mad and i'd love to do that, And im now the owner of a ZOO! Python and can do more then what i watched that person doing. I get all the inspiration in my riding from the people i ride with when i see them do something ive been trying for ages, Which pushes me harder. So i was just wondering who or what inspires you the most to ride trials?cheers az-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Watching movies from the like of ot pi and CLS makes me want to get out and ride. So yer i guess thats inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I was inspired by my mate golley, when i saw him a bit after christmas last year with all that gold hope stuff! Is it worth a mention that i got my best mate onto trials? (he snapped his 16" the other day bless him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luccosleeps Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 first time i saw trials was when i saw my mate clem (clockwork on tf) riding about 5-6years ago, so i went up to him and asked him about it and we've ridden together ever since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I was at a random show about 3-4 years ago with loads of different things there, and i saw a saracen m.a.d van with Tim Pratt and Chris Townsend i think doing some trials, i got a poster from that which was cool. I guess thats what inspired me mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zulu boy Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Me and my mate Rob used to do moto trials at from the age 9-12, we were both pritty good but go a bit bord because you cant really practice any where. so my dad got me that classic "Dirty Tricks & Cunning Stunts" vid. i was hooked on cyclo trials then on. Also Mr M.A.d Richard Jonson (RJ) inspered me a hell of alot as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Jones Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 My first taste of Trials was Martyn Ashton around 2-3 years ago....didnt really think much of it (i was 10 years old lads) and it was only about last year when M-A-D team came into our school to do a demo promoting cycle helmets that i actully considered taking it up...bought a bike a few months later and here i am now....still crap but ho wellBen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova666 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) Dougie Lampkin as allways inspired me i know its motorcycle but when i see him doing those things on a trails bike with a engine i think i must be able to do trails with no engine ?This kid i used to know also inspired me to get into trails i was 15 he was about 10 but he was doing silly things and showed me a couple of things too.

Bazz Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Ok the first time i saw trials was the video Dirty Tricks & Cunning Stunts with the two martins, After that i was hooked.I had to borrow a bike from a friend of mine to get started until i could afford one of my own, Unfortunately i'm in between bikes now. I had an Onza T pro for a while but i didn't like it as much so i sold that on and i'm now saving for a new frame, Hopefully be back out soon though I'm getting so bored without a bike...

trials_man Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 A while back now when i lived there, About 7 trils riders used to ride at our local alidi on the rocks that they have got outside of it. Eversince then i have always wanted to get a trials bike and 2 do trials. So basically i watched for a long while, convinced my dad and away i went Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
